The key to the city is an award used in several countries, including the United States to honor esteemed visitors, local residents, and organizations. This honor involves the ceremonial presentation of an ornamental key but carries no formal privileges or distinctions. So yes, it's an ornamental key usually and you gain it by doing something worthwhile/beneficial for a particular place. It's worth noting that Saddam Hussein holds a key to Detroit, because of donations he gave to Catholic churches. Information found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_City
