The facade of the building is a magnificent example of a secular building in the neo-Gothic style. The appearance is made in the tradition of Flemish Gothic town halls, alluding to medieval urban liberties. The town hall has three towers: the central one, 105 meters high and two smaller ones (61 meters). The seven courtyards of the town hall give the building the appearance of a baroque palace. Of these seven courtyards, the largest is the arcade courtyard, which hosts concerts of the Vienna Annual Music Festival.
The town hall is richly decorated with sculptures, other buildings on the Ringstrasse do not have such a large number of sculptures. At the top of the central tower is an observation deck, which can be reached by 256 steps. The tower offers a beautiful panorama of the city.
And at the top of the tower there is an iron sculpture of the guardian of the town hall - "Rathausmann" (Rathausmann) 3.5 m high in the ceremonial armor of the standard-bearer of the army of Emperor Maximilian I.
In 1985, a copy of the sculpture was installed in front of the town hall so that people could take a closer look at it.
