Stockholm
Stockholm City Hall - located in the centre of the Swedish capital - is known for its grand ceremonial halls and unique works of art. The Nobel Prize banquet is held here on 10 December each year. It also houses offices for 300 people, including the City Council. The building was designed by Swedish architect Ragnar Östberg and opened in 1923.

Stockholm offers a mix of urban adventures and centuries-old history, with the archipelago just a boat ride away. Dalarna is the place to go for a traditional Midsummer celebration, whereas Värmland allows you to encounter the wildlife in its natural habitat.
