CN Tower

The CN Tower defined Toronto's skyline for decades and was the world's tallest free-standing structure until 2007. The main observation experience takes you to the LookOut level and the Glass Floor, a pane of reinforced glass you can stand on, looking straight down 342 metres to the ground, which is far more unnerving than it sounds. For an extra fare you can continue to the SkyPod, one of the highest observation decks in the world, for a wider view over Lake Ontario and, on clear days, the mist of Niagara in the distance.

Thrill-seekers can also do the EdgeWalk, a hands-free walk around the outside of the pod, tethered to an overhead rail, 356 metres up. For most visitors, though, the Glass Floor and a slow circuit of the windows at sunset is the experience, ideally finished with a meal in the revolving restaurant.

• The EdgeWalk is seasonal, weather-dependent, and books up; reserve ahead if it's your goal.

קצת היסטוריה

Completed in 1976 by Canadian National (the railway company, hence "CN"), the tower was built to solve serious communication-signal problems caused by Toronto's rising downtown towers. It doubled as a statement of engineering confidence and quickly became the city's symbol. It held the world-tallest-tower record for 32 years.
