Walking the glass floor platform - a must do experience in CN Tower even for someone who's scared of heightIn an attempt to see more of Toronto, I decided to visit the infamous CN Tower. CN stands for Canadian National which is the railway company who built the tower in 1976. The tower stands 553 meterstall and has 1700 steps. The lift from the ground floor takes 58 seconds to reach the top. The tower is also a communication tower.A bomb detection as you enter CN Tower - the nozzles spray air to detect any traces of explosive

Other than views from the observation window, the tower also has a glass floor. I’m not someone who is afraid of heights but as I stepped into the glass floor, I got a little vertigo, must be the champagne that I sipped at the observation restaurant ;-p. It was really cool to get up with the lift as the lift also has a glass door.

Toronto - as viewed from CN Tower

I got a chance to get a birds eye view of Toronto, which to my surprise, didn’t give me a wow factor of Toronto as per my first impression of the city. I’ve got a mixed feeling towards Toronto. In some aspects, I think the city is mediocre, but in others, I really like a couple of their crazy financial buildings.
