Counting the Hours Archives Stockholm - Part 1
The Nordic countries have never been very popular among Brazilians, some think that the reason is the cold and snow, others say that the values hardly fit the budget and has to those who say that there is not anything purple onion menu interesting to see. I only agree with the fact that all countries are extremely expensive, it really can not deny!
Stockholm is a small town, it is considered the country's largest city, the capital of Sweden has a little over 700,000 inhabitants and is spread across 14 islands located in the gigantic Lake Mälaren.
The first stop was in Stockholm City Hall, one of the symbols of the country. Besides being the most photographed place in Stockholm, which is held every year the Nobel Prize banquet. But wait, the Nobel Prize in Oslo does not happen? Yes, also. The delivery of the Nobel happens in Oslo and Stockholm. The only difference is that it only happens in Oslo delivery of the Nobel Peace Prize, all other prizes such as Literature, Chemistry, Physics and Medicine in Stockholm happen.
For those who do not know, like the City Hall in Oslo, Stockholm City Hall can also be visited. The tours are pre-determined according to the selected language. There is to visit the building without the presence of a guide.
Tickets are on sale at the souvenir shop of the City and the options are only in English or Swedish. The tours depart from the main lobby on the hour and lasts for 45 minutes (the rules for tours during the summer months are a bit different).
We arrived on time, the next tour would start in a matter purple onion menu of a few minutes, then we went quickly find the tab. Our group was small, had 10 people maximum. After receiving the necessary instructions to be made the visit, purple onion menu we'd visit and it was possible to beat photo of all, the tour finally began.
He started well, face already entered the Blue Hall, a huge hall, which greatly resembles the main hall of the Municipality of Oslo. It is in this room where they happen, since 1930, every year the Nobel Prize banquet. Ceremony The award ceremony takes place in the Stockholm Concert Hall and after the event, purple onion menu all guests purple onion menu are directed to City Hall for the banquet. Among the guests, in addition to the Swedish Royal Family, are a family of candidates for the Nobel Prize, the Swedish authorities and guests from all over the world.
We also know the Council Chamber where they happen every week a meeting of municipal representatives (equivalent to the rank of councilors in Brazil) purple onion menu to discuss and make decisions in respect of public affairs of the city. The inhabitants of Stockholm can attend meetings, including purple onion menu for a public purple onion menu gallery with space for about 200 people. One of the highlights of this room is the ceiling, inspired by the Viking era and made entirely of wood.
The Prince's Gallery is nothing less than a corridor which is used to receive the guests to the dance that happens soon after the Nobel Prize banquet. On one hand, the large windows that show a bit of the island Gamla Stan, Södermalm and Lake Mälaren. But you must be wondering cuz this "corridor" is named after the Prince Gallery?!?! The frescoes that are on the wall opposite the large windows were made by the brother of King Gustav V, the Prince Eugen and he called the work "Stockholm's Shores". Cool, huh??!
One of the most beautiful rooms of the building is the Golden Hall, where the dancing is offered, soon after the Nobel Prize banquet. The room is really impressive piece, simply because she is entirely covered by a mosaic composed of more than 18 million pieces of gold and Glass! The work is the Swedish artist Einar Forseth and he was inspired by elements and important personalities who were part of the Byzantine Empire.
In the courtyard of the City Hall building, a curious thing ... Dala horse, said to be one of the symbols of the city and often seen in souvenir shops too. But I could not discover the reason dala horse and the relationship with the city. If anyone knows, share the information!
And to finish, still has Stadshusparken, the Garden City. In addition to its many statues, sculptures and flowers, is one of the best places to hit the old town photo of Stockholm, Gamla Stan.
After this "brief" visit to City Hall, Stockholm discovered that walk is not an easy task. There are many islands, many bridges and it is pretty hard to figure out which bridge leads to the island that we visit. purple onion menu The solution was to try not to stress out and walk the alleys of each of these islands.
I admit it was so hard to find the Nobel Museum, which when finally found, nor wanted to visit more! heheehehhe purple onion menu We were walking in circles and talked with each person the answer
