Toronto(opens in a new window), Canada(opens in a new window)

The capital of Ontario, Toronto is the epitome of Canada cool. Be sure to make the 90-minute drive to Niagara Falls and soak up the view from the ‘prettier’ side of the falls. Root for hometown ice-hockey heroes the Toronto Maple Leafs, or watch baseball’s Blue Jays and NBA’s Toronto Raptors in action. Take in some history at the Royal Ontario Museum, shop until you drop at Eaton Centre and sample cuisines from all over the world thanks to the city’s diverse population. Head to the Entertainment District for a night on the town, or check out the edgy music scene at Massey Hall or Glenn Gould Studio.

The CN Tower (French: Tour CN) is a 553.3 m concrete communications and observation tower in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976, and held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years from 1975–2007 and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 being overtaken by Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower, respectively. It is now the third tallest tower in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.
