There are many famous buildings in Toronto and one of the most iconic ones is the CN Tower. Situated in downtown Toronto, it’s a tour fixture for almost every visitor to the city. At 553.3-m (1,815.3-ft) high, it marks Toronto’s skyline. It took about 40 months to build this grand structure. Opened in 1976, today it attracts millions of visitors each year, making it one of Canada’s leading dining and entertainment destinations. It features six, glass-fronted elevators, which will take you to LookOut level in less than a minute. About 346 m (1,135.8 ft) off the ground, LookOut level enables you to enjoy spectacular city views. Another observation platform here is SkyPod, which sits 447 m (1,466.5 ft) above the ground. This observation platform offers several interpretive exhibits that will give you further insights into CN Tower. There are also other vantage points for enjoying city views, such as the many rooftop bars in Toronto. To make the most out of your trip, check out these best hotels with a view of CN Tower in Toronto.
