Climbing up high over Toronto

Toronto is Canada's financial centre and business hub and the metropolitan area has some 8 million people. Coming into Toronto just feels like coming to a US american city (to all my US and canadian friends: sorry to say that, but if there wouldn't be canadian flags instead of USA flags, I wouldn't recognize any difference!).
Besides Torontos skyline there is a castle build on a hill by a rich business man, who fulfilled his dream and lived there until he lost all his money and had to give away the castle. (what a shame for him, but at least he left a pearl in Toronto and is now open to visitors).


The skyline is affected by the CN tower. The cities embleem built in 1973 used to be the world's highest structure stretching 555m into the sky. The highest observation deck however is just 447m high, but high enough for stunning views. Furthermore, the tower was equipped with a glass floor on which you can walk looking down onto the city.
