Parliament House

The seat of parliament mainly attracts two kinds of people - architecture lovers and politically involved individuals.

Anyone who is interested in politics is invited to come and witness important debates that change Sweden right in front of your eyes. The establishment also has one of the very few parliamentary libraries open to public; anyone can come here and borrow most of the books.

It's also where the Right Livelihood Award takes place. The Award is usually called the "Alternative Nobel Prize", although this is not true. It is given out to people who offer solutions to the most urgent calls humanity currently faces, and it´s promoted internationally.

Strategically located in downtown Stockholm, this building was built in 1905 in Neoclassical architectonic style, designed by Aron Johansson. The facade looks great on pictures, but do not miss out on the opportunity to see the murals inside, which explain the history of Stockholm.

There is only one tour per day, and it is limited to 28 people. Come here at least 10 minutes before the tour or debates take place, as you will need to be searched by the security. It's a three-minute walk away from Gustav Adolfs torg bus stop, lines 53, 57 and 65.
