Facts and practical information

Liberty Place is an iconic commercial hub nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, United States. This shopping center, a distinctive feature of the city's skyline, offers a vibrant mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options. Comprising two skyscrapers, One Liberty Place and Two Liberty Place, it stands as a testament to modern architectural prowess and the bustling urban lifestyle.

Opened in 1988, Liberty Place revolutionized the Philadelphia cityscape, breaking a long-standing unofficial "gentlemen's agreement" not to exceed the height of the statue of William Penn atop City Hall. One Liberty Place, the taller of the two, soars to a staggering 945 feet, making it the second-tallest building in the city.

The complex includes a shopping mall, known as The Shops at Liberty Place, which features over 60 stores and services. It caters to a wide range of tastes and budgets, offering everything from high-end fashion boutiques to popular retail chains. The shopping center is not just a paradise for shoppers but also a dining destination, with a food court and several restaurants serving a variety of cuisines.

Liberty Place is not only a place to shop and dine; it is also an experience. Visitors can ascend to the One Liberty Observation Deck, located on the 57th floor of One Liberty Place, for a breathtaking panoramic view of Philadelphia. The deck provides an unparalleled perspective of the city's historic landmarks, the winding Delaware River, and the sprawling urban landscape.
