Lonely Planet review for Riksdagshuset
It mightn’t sound like the most exciting way to spend an hour, but tours of Sweden’s parliament building are actually fascinating, taking in artworks by Otte Sköld and Axel Törneman, as well as Elisabet Hasselberg Olsson’s Memory of a Landscape, a 54-sq-metre, 100kg tapestry woven in 200 shades of grey. The rather dreamy Swedish system of consensus-building, as presented by clued-up guides, has been known to elicit chuckles of disbelief.
