"Probably the most famous (and also your reason to be here) place in Toronto: The enigmatic CN Tower.  The CN Tower was for several years (decades) the tallest tower in the world, with a height of 553.3 meters. You must be wondering if there's another tower higher than that... well, yeah. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai has now the title of the tallest tower (since 2008). However, The CN Tower still remains the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere. Inside, the tower has an area dedicated to explaining the construction of the tower and other interesting facts about its origins, history, height, architecture, etc. Once inside, the CN Tower offers an incredible panoramic view of Toronto (great photos for your IG for sure!). And if you're really brave, you can surely try other activities, such as the EdgeWalk, an attraction between the Lookout level and the SkyPod where you'll be strapped into a safety harness and afterwards, you can walk without handrails on an outdoor platform 356 m above the ground. But if heights aren't your thing, don't worry, you can walk around the tower from the inside without risking your life (but what's life without a little thrill?). In addition, you will have access to the 360 Restaurant at the top which rotates 351 m in the sky. From my point of view and experience, the majestic thing about the Tower is observing it from every point of the city rather than being inside it (apart from the view there is nothing else and the price can be high for some travelers). However, as an experience, it is worth it at least once in a lifetime. This way, you will be able to boast that you were in one of the tallest towers in the world! "

"At one point this was the tallest free-standing structure in the world (Dubai now has it beat). There is a restaurant at the top that spins slowly for views of the entire city. There is also a glass floor you can walk on and the option to walk outside (in a harness) on one of the upper rings. "
"The iconic tower sits 553-metres tall, it was the tallest free-standing structure in the world until 2007. It features a glass floor (if you're brave enough), and panoramic views of the city. While everyone goes to the tower for the view up, the historical part of the trip up is worthwhile. "
