Stadshuset

Designed in the Swedish National Romantic style and topped with three golden crowns, Stockholm’s red-brick City Hall has been a symbol of the city since its completion in 1923. Visits are by guided tour only, with highlights including the Blue Hall, where the Nobel Prize banquet is held every year, and the opulent Golden Hall, covered in mosaics depicting key events and people in Swedish history. Across the courtyard, the 106m-high tower has spectacular 360-degree views of central Stockholm. Stadshuset is Stockholm’s City Hall, a distinctive building in the Swedish capital where the annual Nobel banquet is held every year. Even if you haven’t been invited, you can still sample the Nobel menu at Stadshuskällaren. As it so happens, this restaurant has been preparing Nobel’s banquet menu since 1901.
