Outdoor walks and façade observations. Interior admission is not included.

The full story

Nathan Phillips Square is Toronto's civic public space, framed by City Hall and designed for gathering, city views and seasonal public activity.

The square is where Toronto's civic identity becomes visible at street level. Its open foreground gives the city hall complex room to read as a composition, while public gatherings and seasonal uses change how the space feels without changing its role as a downtown anchor. Pair it with Old City Hall, Yonge Street or nearby civic buildings for a compact central walk.

  • See City Hall’s paired curved towers from the reflecting pool area.
  • Use the square to connect Queen Street and the downtown core.

Events can change how the square is arranged.
