Lonely Planet review

The majestic City Hall, completed in 1901, stands 548 feet tall in Penn Square. It's the world's tallest masonry construction without a steel frame, and it's topped by a 27-ton bronze statue of William Penn. Just below that is an observation deck, where you can get a bird's eye view of the city.

City Hall's park is the site of a useful oddity: an automatic public toilet, which costs 25ยข, plays music while you pee and self-cleans when you are done.
