Why to visit CN Tower

The CN Tower, Toronto's most famous landmark, is a communication and observation tower that stood as the world's highest free-standing building until 2010, when the Burj Khalifa surpassed it. More than 2 million people visit the tower every year. With its sophisticated dining options, the tower has a lot to offer.

The SkyPod, at 447 metres, is accessible via a glass elevator and offers stunning views of the city, the hypnotic Lake Ontario, and the world-famous Niagara Falls. The tower offers three restaurants: Le Cafe, Horizons, and the 360 Restaurant, which rotates 360 degrees every 72 minutes as you dine. EdgeWalk, a unique experience of hands-free walking on the edge of a glass platform 356 metres above the ground with your back to the city while attached to a rail with a secure harness, was established in 2011 for adrenaline seekers.
