Stockholm City Hall
This here is the Stockholm city hall. With over 100 city council members (partisan elections), they've got a pretty big size government for a population of just over 1 million. Compare that to LA with 15 council members for a city of over 3.5 million. Aside from the day to day government activities, this building is famous for the nobel prize banquet. The prizes are awarded at the nearby concert hall, but afterwards they have a fancy party with the King of Sweden and other distinguished guests in the room pictured right:
The city hall was built by a famous architect and took many years to complete. On the inside, the rooms and the layout are nice. Looking to the outside, the views are very nice especially since it's right on the water. (pictured below). Definitely worth taking a tour. There are tours five times a day with options for 5 different languages. Do you think the LA city hall offers guided tours in chinese serveral times a day?
