Once the tallest freestanding structure in the world, this tower affords generous views of the Greater Toronto Area and, on a clear day, you can see the opposite shore of Lake Ontario. While the address is on Front Street, the tower is more easily accessed from Bremner Blvd or Rees St. From Union Station, take the Skywalk from the west waiting room and follow signs to reach the tower.
