Con un'altezza vertiginosa di 553 metri la forma slanciata della CN Tower domina l’orizzonte della città. Una delle torri più alte del mondo, ineguagliata da qualsiasi struttura autoportante nell'emisfero occidentale, questa meravigliosa opera architettonica fu costruita nel 1967 dalla Canadian National Railway per servire come struttura di comunicazione e osservazione. All'epoca, questa torre era la più alta del mondo ed è rimasta tale fino al 2007. Il Look Out Level, ossia la piattaforma panoramica, della CN Tower offre una vista spettacolare sulla città da un'altezza di 346 metri, mentre lo SkyPod si trova 33 piani più in su e offre una prospettiva unica al mondo. L'EdgeWalk, un'altra delle attrazioni della torre, è la passerella nel vuoto più alta del mondo. Questa passerella non è per i deboli di cuore anche se offre un'esperienza unica. L'EdgeWalk è situato sul tetto del 360 Restaurant, dove la cena viene servita davanti alla una bella vista dell’orizzonte di Toronto.
Located near the city center in Toronto, the Distillery Historic District is a prominent area of the city where the Gooderham and Worts Distillery used to operate until 1990 CE. The distillery was touted as one of the biggest facilities in the world. After its closure, the Victorian-era buildings of the property became the Distillery District of today. Today, it houses many shops, restaurants and commercial complexes. However, the historic facade of the distillery is still intact and can be seen.
Built in 1793, Fort York National Historic Site was established to protect Toronto Bay from American invasion. It lies just east of Exhibition Place and represents Canada's largest concentration of original War of 1812 buildings.

Special events throughout the year include a Battle of York Commemoration, Victoria Day Celebration and Canada Day at Fort York.
A recreational wonderland that sits a mere 10-minute ferry ride away from Toronto Harbor, the Toronto Islands constitute a set of 15 small isles in the midst of Lake Ontario. The islands are connected to one another by pathways and bridges that can be traversed on foot. Sprawled across 820 acres (330 hectares) of the lake's expanse, the Toronto Islands are home to the Snake Island, the South Chippewa Island, Mugg's Island, and Forestry Island, with the Centre Island emerging as the biggest of the group. Away from the city's furious bustle, the islands offer a serene retreat with their car-free stretches, and are home to a plethora of landmarks including the Centreville Amusement Park, the clothing-optional Hanlan's Beach, a Frisbee golf course, and the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.
