The City Hall is not only the most visited building in Stockholm but it is also the office of the Stockholm City Council. It was built in the Swedish National Romantic Style but it is also here where every year, on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death on December 10th, the Nobel Prize Banquet is held. This is one of the most popular visits in town. The tour itself lasts about 45 minutes per regulations that we need to follow in The City Hall, but after that, we will visit the courtyards and garden facing Lake Mälaren. From here you will have a fantastic view of the city and is fantastic for taking photos or just relaxing and admiring the scenery.

This private guided sightseeing tour starts with a comfortable drive that passes most of the must-see attractions in Stockholm. It gives you a nice overview over the city. Then the driver takes you to The Royal Domain of Drottningholm which was the first site in Sweden to be listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage. The castle was first built in the end of the seventeenth century and then the queen Ulrika Eleonora ordered the transformation of the interior to what has become the finest example of an 18th-century northern European royal residence that has been inspired by the Palace of Versailles. Besides the palace, the site holds a perfectly preserved theatre from 1766, an amazing Chinese pavilion from 1770 and a grand baroque garden. Today the castle serves as the permanent residence of the present royal family. A must see when you are in Stockholm.
