Toronto 360. CN Tower

One of my favorite things to do in any new city - to climb to the highest point and see the city from above. However, I am no exception, just on this subject there is a vulgar proverb. In Toronto, there is a great starting point for sightseeing views of the city - an observation deck on the tower CN Tower. This building height of 533 meters - one of the highest in the world. An observation deck with all-round visibility is also very high - at the level of 346 m above the ground.

Tower CN Tower, and high-rise ratings of
the CN Tower was built in 1976 and has more than 30 years held the title of tallest building in the world, while in 2010 the skyscraper "Burj Khalifa" in Dubai was not finished. CN Tower is now ranked 5th in the list of the highest inhabited buildings, giving "Burj Khalifa" towers "Tokyo Skaytri", "Canton Tower" in Guangzhou and "Al-Bayt" in Mecca. In the picture - 27 tallest buildings in the world, of which I still managed to visit 11 (1)

If excluded from the list of skyscrapers, and leave only the tower, the CN Tower will move to the 3rd place. In the diagram - Wikipedia, the 7 highest TV towers in the world. 5 of them are honored to accept your humble servant. (2)

Well, the last of a series of high-rise scheme ratings - ten highest viewing platforms. There CN Tower in 5th place after the "Shanghai the WTC", "Canton Tower", "Burj Khalifa" and "Tokyo Skytri". I visited 5 out of ten, it is true to CN Tower, I was not on the highest floor ( "SkayPod" immediately under the metal antenna at a height of 446 m), and at the site is 100 meters below - in the "thick" of the tower. (3)

And although the original function of CN Tower - the role of telecommunications tower, construction is one of the most popular entertainment centers in Canada. Observation decks and restaurants in the tower annually take more than half a million visitors. Let us, and we will fill up their number.
