These Scandinavians certainly are progressive! The Finns were the first in the world to give women the vote. And the Swedes have a majority of women politicians in the Stockholm government - go Sweden!
The City Hall is quite a building. The 45-min tour was comprehensive & took us through the various rooms including the room where the banquet for the Nobel Prize ceremony is held on the 10th Dec each year. Nobel, the inventor who bequeathed his sizeable fortune to recognising those who promote progress & peace.
The Gold Room is remarkable. Made up of millions of tiny 23 carat gold mosaic pieces, it depicts the history of Sweden in picture form across the room.
