Don’t miss the City Hall tower

This Sunday I managed to visit the City Hall tower for the first time since I’ve been living in Stockholm. I had 3 previous failed attempts at doing this.

First time was last summer, I got there at 16:50, 10 minutes before they closed and the last person from the queue to enter was the one before me.

Second attempt was in September, I got there at 16:10, early according to me, but late according to the schedule for September. They closed at 16.

Third time was on October 1st. I made sure I’m there even earlier, at around 12, but the door was locked.

A woman in the souvenir shop told me the season ended one day before, on 30 September. “See you in May, next year”, she said merrily.

If you’re in Stockholm, don’t miss the view from the City Hall tower. And check the opening hours before going. ;)

    Intriguing panoramic view :)
    You can look for hours into this organized chaos and still be fascinated. Why do I have the feeling that needs a little bit of rotation to the left?

    Thanks, Eddy. It’s not really a panorama, actually is cropped a bit, cause I had to rotate it. I did it for about 3 degrees, maybe it needs 4 … :-/
