Recognized as one of the most architecturally significant retail spaces in the U.S. and a designated National Historical Landmark, Macy’s Center City is a must-see destination for shoppers and history buffs alike.

Don’t Miss

Macy’s Center City boasts many landmarks, but the undisputed highlight is its “Great Pipe Organ.” The organ is one of the world’s largest. Macy’s Grand Court is the ideal location for it, offering exceptional acoustics to the organ’s incredibly dynamic sound. The building also was the first department store to be illuminated by electricity.
