== Frequently Asked Questions == {{FAQ |q1=Can you go to the top of City Hall? |a1=Yes, tower tours take visitors to an observation deck at the base of the William Penn statue. Tours run Monday-Friday (9:30am-4:15pm, every 15 minutes) with limited capacity. Purchase tickets in Room 121. There's a small fee (~$8-10). |q2=How tall is City Hall? |a2=Philadelphia City Hall is 548 feet tall to the top of William Penn's hat. When completed in 1901, it was the world's tallest habitable building. It remained Philadelphia's tallest until One Liberty Place was built in 1987. |q3=What is the Penn Curse? |a3=A "gentlemen's agreement" kept Philadelphia buildings shorter than the William Penn statue until 1987. When One Liberty Place broke this tradition, Philadelphia sports teams supposedly fell under a curse, winning no championships until the Phillies' 2008 World Series. |q4=Is City Hall free to visit? |a4=Yes, entering City Hall and viewing public spaces is free. Only the tower observation deck tour requires a ticket (~$8-10). Dilworth Park on the south side is always accessible. }}
