TOUR OF THE CITY HALL

Stockholm’s City Hall is a landmark building in Sweden. It has an interesting history and houses some unique art. It is also the work place of about 200 politicians and officials. Following the visit, spouses will take a Panorama Tour of Stockholm before stopping in the Old Town.

WALKING TOUR OF THE OLD TOWN

There are a lot of unique things to see when visiting the Old Town in Stockholm. The town was founded during the 13th century and has about 3,000 people living in it today. Most buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The area has the largest range of restaurants, tourist shops, studios and museums in Stockholm.

TOUR OF THE ROYAL PALACE

The Royal Palace of Stockholm is His Majesty The King’s official residence and is also the setting for most of the monarchy’s official receptions. The palace is a daily place of work for The King and Queen as well as for the various departments that make up the Royal Court. This combination of royal residence, workplace and culture-historical monument open year-round to visitors makes the Royal Palace of Stockholm unique amongst Europe’s royal residences. Built in baroque style by the architect Nicodemus Tessin, it has more than 600 rooms over seven floors. For lunch, we take a 10-minute walk or transfer by bus to the Café Opera.

CAFÉ OPERA

A combination of bar, bistro, brasserie and restaurant. There is a lengthy bar in a room dominated by magnificent crystal chandeliers and a beautifully painted ceiling dating from 1895. Café Opera has rapidly become the universal meeting place for Stockholmers of all ages. It is a popular "rendezvous" for business lunches, afternoon tea and dinners.
