Nathan Phillips Square

Nathan Phillips Square is a vibrant public plaza in downtown Toronto, alive with festivals, markets, and a popular ice rink in winter, framed by the iconic Toronto sign. Adjacent City Hall, a 1965 modernist masterpiece with curved towers, serves as the civic hub and offers tours. Together, they blend lively community spirit with architectural brilliance, defining mid-Toronto’s urban core. Very spacious city square. It's also fun in the winters, with Christmas lights, the tree, the deco, and a bustling ice-skating rink. The drive to it in the busy downtown area is a disaster, though, and you have to be very patient with the drive and finding parking nearby. It's worth a visit at least once in your lifetime.

It’s a fun place to spend time in Toronto…. There are lot of events happening all around the year which brings diversity and inclusivity for people coming from different parts of the world. During winters it has ice ring for skating. Absolute fun place.

A quite a dull place. No where close to how people present it in pictures. Coming from Delhi, the way protest and homeless were roaming around were no different than Jantar Mantar. Homeless Coming inside parking lot and threatening to pay money less be prepared to be impacted. Was so scared that we left within an hour.

It's an amazing square with a different atmosphere, especially on holidays, and don't forget your roller skates. At night getting crowded. There is a huge flock of peaceful pigeons looking for food. I love them.

Beautiful place to go sightseeing, skate during winter or just have a wonderful scenery! I loved it. Try going during weekdays when is not too crowded to skate it was amazing the skate rental is for 15 CAD 2hrs

I walked there just to look at all the scenery. It did not disappoint. Went at dusk on a Sunday. So pretty when the sun starts going down!
