Guided tours

Svenska

Discover the City Hall with a guided tour. A guided tour is the only way to visit the City Hall.

During the tour, you will get to see all of the City Hall’s grand banquet halls, while learning more about its history, politics, architecture, and the Nobel banquet. The guide will tell you about this iconic building from 1923 and its different uses over the years.

Inside the City Hall

Several important events from Swedish history are depicted on one of the walls in the Golden Hall, from the 800s to World War I.
8 million bricks were used to build the City Hall. The bricks were made in a factory south of Stockholm.
The pattern for the tapestries was designed by Maja Sjöström. She was in charge of all textiles designed for the City Hall during its construction. The statue “Crocus” was made by Tore Strindberg.
The ceiling in the Council Chamber is painted by Filip Månssons Decorative Painting firm och is made out of wood. The blue section in the middle represents the sky, with stars, moons, suns, and clouds painted on it.

The City Hall is not only a cultural heritage and a tourist attraction, but also a place where many politicians and civil servants have their offices, where the Stockholm City Council have their meetings, and a venue for both events and wedding ceremonies. As a result, we may have to cancel some of our guided tours or close certain rooms, sometimes at short notice.

Remarkable details and decorations

The seven stages of life can be seen above the doors in the Golden Hall; birth, childhood, youth, adulthood, old age, death, and, eventually, the soul’s ascension to Heaven.
The chandeliers in the Gallery of the Prince are made out of silver plated bronze and Baccarat crystal, and were designed by a Swedish sculptor and artisan called Sydney Gibson.
The mural in the Gallery of the Prince is painted by Prince Eugen. The name of the painting is “City by the Water” and depicts the view of Stockholm from Riddarfjärden and Mälaren.
From the Council Chamber, Stockholm is governed by the City Council. Among other things, the council decides on matters concerning schools, childcare, elderly care and city planning for the City of Stockholm.
