City Hall in Philly, is seriously, one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States. It is gorgeous and as you drive or walk towards center city, you cannot miss William Penn standing at the top, looking all full of himself. But then again, he's standing on top of a gorgeous building in the middle of Philly. Of course he should be smug. 

When you visit, you can walk all around the area, in some areas of the building, but you simply MUST go to the top of it where William Penn stands. It is THE best view of Philly. It makes the Avenue of the Arts look like the Champs-Élysées and you forget for a second that you are in the US. Be sure to check hours before going to the top. The hours are funky and are only open Monday through Friday. Also, there are only like 4 people allowed to the top at a time. It is a small area, and trust me, you don't want a ton of people up there or you won't be able to walk around and enjoy the different views.

The entire process is really easy if you're just doing the tower tour. We did not do the 2-hour plus tour of City Hall although that sounded pretty cool too. The tower tour you buy your tickets ahead of time you do need to buy time tickets and then they take you up for people at a time in an elevator. You stay the top right under William Penn about 11 ft from the bottom of his feet. It's a great View and really nice. Some of the windows are slightly open so if it's cold out do you want to dress as though you're outside. the windows are all just crack though so it's not like you're standing out completely in the open. They say that you cannot change your time tickets but we were able to change ours in the visitor center. To get to The Visitor Center go into the East entrance which is the same side that the Residence Inn and Courtyard Marriott are on for reference. Have fun!

Architectural masterpiece !!!!!

The most magnificent building in Philadelphia city is the City Hall. A modern marvel which took 30 years to complete and is the tallest building built solely with stone masonry (there are no steel beams supporting in the foundation and walls).  A 37 ft tall statue of William Penn graces the top of this beautiful work of art.

The architecture of the building is amazing and has beautiful pieces of art which signifies the past history of the city. The interior tour of the city hall is approximately 2 hours including the tower tour. The guide gave details of the construction and historic data of the interior rooms on various floors, the chamber of council room and other public spaces. The council man was generous enough to welcome our tour members into his personal office to show us the old tile details of the building. 

The highlight of the tour was the elevator ride to the top of the building which puts put you underneath the statue of William Penn. The top balcony gives a gorgeous 360 degree view of Philadelphia city and surroundings. 

Stunning views and totally worth the time!!!!! Loved it. !!

Beautiful area with plenty to do around there.  Best seen walking around and the Love Park is right next door as well. During Christmas time there is ice skating and the Christmas village right next to it.

This building is full of history. At one time it was the tallest building in the world. Now it lies in the shadows of Philadelphia's goliaths. Many events take place here throughout the year for the community and tours are available daily. It's worth a visit while you're in the city. I would like to see some updates inside as some of the floors are dated and in need of repair. Gorgeous ceilings and columns inside will amaze you.
