Riksdag, Swedish Parliament - Stockholm
p.1 #1Riksdag, Swedish Parliament - Stockholm
During my time in Stockholm, I had the opportunity to take a guided tour of the Swedish Parliament. It was fascinating to learn about their unique political system—and since it was raining outside, it provided the perfect indoor escape! Here are a few photos I captured during the visit. Thanks for viewing, and I welcome any comments or critiques.
The Chamber - Heart of Riksdag, where elected representatives depate and take descisions.
The Grand Gallery - The East wing houses both chambers from bicameral era, linked by a 45m long gallery.
Representive Office Hallway
The Grand Stairway
The Second Chamber - TheOctagonal second chamber retains its original furnishing from 1905. Constitution's hearing are held here.

Excellent set here and I love the grand stairway. Did you have to sign up for tour ahead of time?

Thanks Greg👍🏻
It’s definitely grand. The tour kind of moves fast and there are people everywhere so it’s hard to get clean shots. There were many rooms that I couldn’t photograph especially the library. Nevertheless, it was really good tour.

Thanks, there is small story about that grand stairway. If I remember correctly, that entrance is use when the crown Prince attends one of the cabinet meetings.
No reservation or prior sign up needed for the tour. You show up an hour before and wait in line. They only take 15 or 20 people at a time and the tour lasts about 90 minutes.
