Cruising From Stockholm

One fun way to see Stockholm: by Segway. The 90-minute tour takes you along Strandvagen and into Djurgarden for one invigorating tour. For more info, visit uppner.se.

One of Stockholm’s most popular tourist attractions, City Hall is one of Sweden’s leading examples of national romanticism in architecture. It was opened on Midsummer’s Eve in 1923, built from eight million bricks and anchored by a tower that rises to a lofty height of 106 meters.

At the top of the tower, the three crowns that represent the Swedish coat of arms are said to be the size of Volkswagens. Climb the tower for fantastic views over Stockholm.

The great Nobel banquet is held in City Hall. After dinner in the Blue Hall, Nobel Prize recipients, royalty and guests dance in the Golden Hall, with its 18 million gold mosaic tiles.

The City Hall is open to the public through guided tours held daily in Swedish and English and other languages during the summer.

NK, also near Stureplan. And directly across the street is the large city shopping mall, Gallerian.
