Lonely Planet review

Built in the National Romantic style using eight million bricks and completed in 1923, Stockholm's iconic City Hall is home of the Nobel Banquet. The Golden Hall is a glittering spectacle made with 10kg of gold and 68 million mosaic pieces. Tours of the building are fascinating, while a soulful chill on the waterside terrace (the sculptures here are by Carl Eldh) is free. For breathtaking view, head to the top of the hulking tower.

That the tower (adult/under 12 Skr20/free; ; - May-Sep) is exactly 1m taller than Copenhagen's slightly older City Hall tower is no coincidence - neighbourly rivalries are hard to quench.
