Philadelphia City Hall

Philadelphia City Hall is a beautiful place to visit, and use as a landmark for tourists to plan their next move. There is a large compass painted in the middle of City Hall which points you in the direction of various main roads.

I went for jury duty, not much fun but my panel was dismissed around 10: 25 am because the case was settled out of court.

This building is so cool. The architecture is amazing and so unique. I was told that the person that designed the Philadelphia City Hall also designed the US Capitol Building and the US Senate. So much history here. Worth a visit. Next time I’m in town, I’m going to see if there are tours of the inside available. Would be so neat to see inside.

Philadelphia City Hall is one of a kind with North, South, East and West Entrances an exact copy. The experience inside is dizzying also. Fully engrossed in capturing images, the thought of monitor the time when gates are locked at night never occurred to me. The subway is locked down and only essential personnel are on site - and so was I.
I did not panic. The secure environment at night: surreal, paradisiacal.
Snap back to reality as an employee pushes his cart through an interior door - me, “I’m saved”. Personally escorted safely through a City Hall corridor, I quietly re-entered Philadelphia’s atmosphere.

This is the tallest municipal building in the country. This is in the downtown of Philadelphia and it's extremely artistic and picturesque. It is surrounded by a lot of historical structures. It is at a walking distance from the Philadelphia Art Museum and the Love Park. Beautiful place to spey the evening.

This is such a nice landmark in the center of Philadelphia. The architecture is reminiscent of early American Architecture. Coffee shops nearby. No parking. Park has swings and grass turf. Easy subway access. The columns are so beautiful. A number of people were taking their wedding photos here.

This place is fine piece of architecture. Amazing view from the inside of city hall. Kids can enjoy the small fountains and you can grab lunch and coffee. We spent couple of hours here and we were totally amazed by the details carved on the structure. A must visit place if you are near Philadelphia.

City Hall is a nice place to visit. Full of history and an amazing place to sit and enjoy a coffee. Kids will love playing with sprinkles in the warm weather.

My partner and I visited back in Aug. 2021, so it was still closed to the public due to COVID-19 pandemic. However it was great exploring the outside architecture, the courtyard and surrounding areas. It's an extremely tall building, so cannot imagine the history and content of what was inside. The architecture/exterior design was pretty amazing.
