Last year I took a tour of City Hall.I presume its still closed because of the pandemic. Hopefully it will reopen soon.For people who are interested in local politics and in history, the tour is great. The people giving the tour are volunteers , often retirees who have tremendous knowledge about City Hall and local governence.

We didnt go inside. We just passed it as we were walking to another attraction. It is a beautiful building and worthy of a look if you are in the area.

Registered for a free tour of the City Hall. The tour is approximately 1 hour long and consists of standing and walking through the building for the entire duration. Photography is permitted of art and architecture only. Volunteer docent was informative and knowledgeable!

Came here for a business trip and staying in a standard room with single occupancy. Great staffs hospitality as always, greeted with a welcoming dance troupe and fast check-in process. Superb facilities - swimming pool, number of dining options to choose from. Thank you so much!

Never a dull moment here: musicians and dancers would do open air performance here. Artists would put up their artwork here. Theres also food for sale. And across the street, by the Bridge, you can get souvenirs. So get ready for a good time because not too far from here is the World trade center and Wall Street.

You have to book online for this free tour beforehand, but it is so worth it.Learnt so much about the history of the area and City Hall.Had access to City Hall Chambers, plus function room with amazing artwork and historical pieces including Washingtons desk.The guide was brilliant pointing out all the hidden details on the paintings and sculptures, that I would of missed on my own.Highly recommended!!!

Great place to visit. Theres performance artists who do their thing and you dont know what they will be doing. Local artists will also display their artwork for you to see. The food wagon will also be there so if you get the munchies, you can satisfy your needs. It is also close to the trade center and the churches so you can visit them too. The only thing is that they dont have a public restroom so pee first.

Old French Renaissance architectural style of City Hall send us back into 18th century though surrounding skyscrapers remind us of our time. The combination of these buildings from various periods makes this place more attractive. Beautiful old park with contemporary visual art monuments is very pleasant place for everybody.

Very nice historical building surrounded by many other governmental buildings and a park with a buetiful water fountain.

Fresh garden! Enjoy it together with the squirrels :-)

Some ppl gave this place low rating for political reasons. Maybe theyre right and maybe not. I gave it 5 stars because looking at it is exciting and being around it gives you a good, magical feeling as youve traveled back in time.

Real new yorkers pronounce the c here as sh

New York City Hall, the seat of New York City government, is located at the center of City Hall Parkin the Civic Center area of Lower Manhattan, between Broadway, Park Row, and Chambers Street. The building is the oldest city hall in the United States that still houses its original governmental functions,[5]such as the office of the Mayor of New York City and the chambers of the New York City Council. While the Mayors Office is in the building, the staff of thirteen municipal agencies under mayoral control are located in the nearby Manhattan Municipal Building, one of the largest government buildings in the world.City HallU.S. National Register of Historic PlacesU.S. National Historic LandmarkNYC LandmarkShow map of ManhattanShow map of New York CityShow map of New YorkShow map of the USShow allLocationCity Hall Parkbetween Broadway and Park Row[1][2]Manhattan, New York CityCoordinates40.7127°N 74.0059°WBuilt1811ArchitectJoseph-François Manginand John McComb, Jr.Architectural styleexterior:French Renaissance Revivalinterior:Georgian RevivalNRHP reference #66000539Significant datesAdded to NRHPOctober 15, 1966[3]Designated NHLDecember 19, 1960[4]Designated NYCLexterior: February 1, 1966interior: January 17, 1976Constructed from 1803 to 1812,[1] New York City Hall is a National Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4][6][7] Both its exterior (1966) and interior (1976) are designated New York City landmarks.[2]

It used to be a great place now it’s a City over run with crime and criminals.

If you are visting New York, then it is worth having a look around New York City Hall. There is a nice small park where you can hop around and rest on your way to the many destinations you get from there, as this is quite central in Downtown Manhattan. Then you can also have a look around City Hall, and do some people watching. I got married there, so of course this is a memorable place for me, feels like yesterday (but is it not, far from it!)

Gorgeous French style building in the civic center. Built in the early 1800s, it’s a good time capsule of what New York looked like a couple hundred years ago. If you visit the website, you can sign up for a free tour in which they teach you the history and show you city council chambers and the welcoming rooms. I especially love the gorgeous central rotunda, whole building feels very European.

Surrounding park is nice spot to hang out. Lots of seating.

The guided tour was excellent congratulations to today’s guide

Beautiful. I can tell my kids that Ive been in there.

Great place

I came in the bathrooms.

Great Food. Not as clean as I would have liked. Very crowdedIn general very good experience

The busiest City in the country, at work for its citizens. NYC.

Its good its environmemt people around the place and many more...

The opening of a ticket cannot solve the fundamental problem. To solve the fundamental problem is to improve traffic conditions and implementation. The police in New York have given me the greatest impression of knowing the law and breaking the law.

So thy ahem.

Crime Is Really High

Very nice place loved it met the mayor

A must-stop location on an architectural tour of New Yorks financial district and civic center. A beautiful fusion of French Renaissance and American-Georgian architecture.

DeBlossio is incompetent.

I had a chance to visit this incredible place and I have to admit: It was just great! I highly recommend to everyone who desires to be part of the New Yorkers life. Interesting and easy going tour where you will feel like their guest.

It was ok, the park next to it is nice

Best public service

I just Love New York, its so beautiful and cant wait to see it all over again.

Beautiful designed city hall

Great spot to be and see all that it has. So much to see and to do.

Amazing building area to go for a walk . The place it self is beautiful excellent services and good park to visit.

I recently joined a free tour, which I had to reserve in advance via the City Hall website. There is a security check before anyone is allowed on-premises. Once in, visitors are asked to wait for the docent by the Nathan Hale Statue. Photography is allowed during the tour and there are public restrooms inside the building.The tour started a few minutes behind schedule and lasted 90 minutes. The docent was knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient with questions. She described what the place was like more than 200 years ago, explained the purpose, architecture, and design of the building, and shared significant historical events that the place bore witness to. The tour overall was informative without being too overwhelming. Highly recommended!

A nice place to grab a rest along the good park. It is a great place to rest. You have City Hall, J&R and the Canyon of Champions.

Beautiful old building nearby Brooklyn Bridge

10.3.17 - just went for a 15 minute walking break and I was able to cross City Halls steps. Its a beautiful building from the exterior. Its too bad its no longer open to the public. There is a presence when you walk by the front steps.

Quaint example of civic architecture. Its always great to pass by and observe the many demonstrations that may be taking place on the grounds. Also a great spot to get the occasional glimpse of our elected officials making official announcements.

They have it all roped off and barricaded so you can only get so close. The rats running all over the garden are hilarious but dont think thats where the groundskeepers intended them to be.

When I started exploring New York decades ago, finding the way through skyscrapers so high started to think what would City Hall in city like this, so unique would look like. Would that be the highest skyscraper in the world. No :-). It would be the old building of importance. Exactly like New York City Hall.

Been here three times all three on the first floor and whether I was way on the side or center it was always a good seat no matter how far back or to the side I was ... negative, a VERY small bathroom for the theater size and only one. If you leave at intermission you may miss part of the second act.

Review is about the beautiful architecture - not politics! If near the financial and trade area, walk over. Park and grounds are beautiful and the architecture itself is really stunning. Has an old world/classic feel to it. Site of many movies and TV shows.

City Counsel meetings are often here with times for open comment. Check the NYC Council website for schedules, come early and prepare ahead of time (you only get 3 minutes to speak). Metal detectors surround the front drive, so be prepared to line up.

One of the biggest knocks against the New York City Government is that they often get nothing done while in session. After seeing the beauty of a building, I can begin to understand why the wheels of municipal government grind so slowly.An absolutely stunning architectural work, the most spectacular component of which is the floating staircase, two twin spiral stairwells converging in the middle of the building without any supporting columns, giving the effect that the stairs are floating right off the ground up to the second floor. Once you get up to the second floor, head to the city council chambers, which boasts a beautiful mural on the ceiling and provides an view of government in action (or government inaction).After walking through the building, be sure to stop at City Hall Park right next door, a wonderful respite from the chaos and hustle and bustle of the busy city!

The best place

Victory...

Surprisingly small? Nice area before the Brooklyn Bridge walk.

New York City Hall was built in 1811 and is the oldest city hall in the United States. I would add that the Town Hall is small in size compared to many important buildings in New York City.

Very good excellent outstanding beautiful nice fine good.........................................................................very very very much well-known and its a place of ...what I say........................................................

I like it

Meysyng! Cole is hot COLE SPOURSE!!!!

If you’re looking to get married whilst in NYC this is the place. Very friendly, helpful staff who made the whole process go very efficiently and easily.

Dreary place with hours long testimony on most days.

A protest going on as we walked by. Very interesting building.

Pretty park with Tulips, benches, and shade

Park in front of has the beautiful yard

Love love love it

Historical place

The security chief I assume is his title is very rude and wouldn’t let me pull over my vehicle to switch places with my husband .... I am 8 months pregnant with a toddler .... he comes out and says you know this is a cross walk even though it clearly has 3 trash cans blocking the sidewalk which is where I was. My husband informed him we are not staying. The man then flashes this mini badge and demands we move. I’m very tired of the lack of sensitivity. If I was this mans pregnant wife I’m sure he wouldn’t want someone to treat or talk to her like that. After the exchange of words he kept walking out of the both toward my car I assume to take down the license plate. I stop on this corner every single morning since March 2018 and no one has ever bothered / harassed me to move. I am not in anyone’s way nor was I blocking the entrance to City Hall. Shame on YOU!

Its beautiful buildings in this city

I really want to there ... what a great place

Good view

I love american village. My wishes to live in american village. But this is not possible because i live in india and i have not enough money that i buy any land in America

Another place to sit down for a long walk in lower Manhattan. You will find courthouse when you walk a few minutes.

This is the nations benchmark city hall. It has spectacular architecture and is just plain fun to visit.

City Hall has operated since 1812, it houses the mayor’s office, the City Council Chamber, a number of museum-quality public spaces and steps that are a standard spot for politicians’ press conferences; though closed to the public, it’s the site for government ceremonies and has hosted celebrations for everything from Charles Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight to Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon; there’s also a pleasant park nearby.

Wow Amaizing Ples I Lick You N.Y

Spoting around the new york city is niceBut there is a one chair

It was built in 18 the century.It is very beautiful.

Beautiful architecture

Because is beautiful , as well as the american people im crazy about the united states im Brasileira

City Council Hall is very nice, where Korean Americans gathered to celebrate Korean Independence Day on August 15.

It is a great place to rest. You have City Hall, J&R and the Canyon of Champions. Even if it small, it is nice when they put the fountain on.

Nice. New york city.in future i wish to meet some time.
