Lonely Planet review for City Hall

Much-maligned City Hall was Toronto’s bold leap of faith into architectural modernity. Its twin clamshell towers, flying-saucer central structure, sexy ramps and funky mosaics were completed in 1965 to Finnish architect Viljo Revell’s award-winning design. An irritable Frank Lloyd Wright called it a ‘headmarker for a grave’; in a macabre twist, Revell died before construction was finished. Collect a self-guided tour pamphlet at the info desk; don’t miss the geeky 1:1250 Toronto scale model in the lobby. Parking is $13.
