You have already see<\/a>n the main sights<\/a> of Stockholm and now you are thinking what else to pay attention to? It's time to go for a walk around the city center<\/a>, which is called Norrmalm, visit the island<\/a> of Helgeandsholmen and see one of the most prestigious urban area<\/a>s – \u00d6stermalm. A self-guided tour<\/a> will give you the opportunity to admire the ancient Church of St. Clara and the City<\/a> Hall, take a walk along the pedestrian street Drottninggatan, see where the Swedish Parliament sits and a number of other interesting places<\/a>. So let's get started!<\/p>\n

town hall<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Attractions<\/a><\/p>\n

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the architect Ragnar \u00d6stberg, this building is one of the symbols of modern Stockholm. Swedish officials hold meetings in this place, delegations gather here for negotiations.<\/p>\n

However, the City<\/a> Hall is known, first of all, for the fact that it is here that a banquet for Nobel laureates is held every year. At first, this festive event was held in the Golden Hall of the Town Hall, which is decorated with gilded mosaics, consisting of a record number of tiles (there are more than 18 million of them!). Since 1974, a banquet has been held in the Blue Hall.<\/p>\n

\"Attractions<\/a><\/p>\n

True, it is possible to walk through the halls of the Town Hall only with a guide<\/a>d tour<\/a>. On their own, tourists<\/a> can walk around the courtyard of the Town Hall. Be sure to go up to the observation deck – from a height of 106 meters a beautiful view of the capital of Sweden opens up.<\/p>\n

Church of Saint Clare<\/h2>\n

This church has a long history<\/a> that goes back nearly seven and a half centuries. Magnus Ladulos ordered the laying of a convent with a temple dedicated to St. Clara, revered throughout Europe<\/a>, on this site. But another Swedish ruler in the 1500s ordered the demolition of these buildings. Then they were erected again, and they operated for two centuries, until they were almost completely destroyed by fire. It took a long time to rest<\/a>ore the building, and finally, in 1886, a tower was erected, which became the tallest building in Stockholm. She was 116 meters high.<\/p>\n

\"Attractions<\/a><\/p>\n

The interior of the church is striking in its richness. These are stained-glass windows, and a marble floor, and a car<\/a>ved pulpit, and beautiful sculptures. But the main decoration is the organ that is still in operation.<\/p>\n

Klara Church<\/h2>\n

It is the largest railway station in the country. The station has been operating since 1871, and is currently conside<\/a>red the largest in the entire Scandinavian Peninsula and the second in terms of daily passenger traffic. And if you take into account the passengers of the metro station located<\/a> at the Central Station, then the first one at all.<\/p>\n
