Stockholm City Hall, or Stadhuset, is an iconic landmark located on Kungsholmen Island.


Its striking red brick design, reminiscent of the palaces of Venice, makes it a defining feature of the city's skyline.


The tower’s three-crowned spire can be seen from almost every part of Stockholm, cherished by residents for its historical significance and stunning interior.


very Saturday, the city hall is the venue for approximately fifty weddings, each ceremony lasting no more than six minutes.


Beautifully Designed Rooms


Inside Stockholm City Hall, you’ll find two elegantly decorated spaces: the Blue Hall and the Golden Hall. Architect Ragnar Östberg originally planned for the Blue Hall to be adorned with blue tiles and large windows that would reflect the sky. However, due to Stockholm's frequently overcast weather, this idea was revised, leading to a red brick interior while keeping the name, Blue Hall.


Nobel Prize Banquet


Every December, the Nobel Prize Banquet attracts worldwide attention. This prestigious event takes place in the Blue Hall, where laureates, nominees, jurors, and members of the Swedish royal family gather for an unforgettable evening of fine dining and dancing.


The celebration continues in the Golden Hall, recognized for its walls adorned with 18 million gold tiles that tell the story of Stockholm.


Climb the Tower


Don’t miss the chance to climb the Stockholm City Hall Tower for breathtaking views of the city from a height of 160 meters (525 feet). From this vantage point, the skyline blends beautifully with the surrounding water, reinforcing Stockholm’s nickname as "the Venice of the North."


The tower is open to visitors daily from May to September, with an entrance fee of 80 kr (US$ 7.25); children under 11 can enter for free.
