Practically every spot in Toronto is a head turner. Here are some of the city's most famous landmarks.

The city's distinct icon, the CN Tower (Canada's National, though intended for Canadian National Railway) is the "tallest freestanding tower" by the Guinness Book of World Records and one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Still fondly called Skydome, Rogers Centre is the first stadium with a motorized retractable roof, not to mention a hotel connected to it.

The Toronto City Hall boasts of a distinctly modern look when it was first inaugurated in 1965. It has replaced what is now known as the Old City Hall, located opposite the new one.

Named after a now-bankrupt department store, the Eaton Centre is a major shopping and office block that links to another retail complex, The Bay, as well as the Mariott Hotel.

This historic, scenic park named after Queen Victoria in 1860 houses the Ontario Legislative Building.

Toronto's small chain of islands features Centreville, an amusement park including a petting zoo and a lagoon, Far Enough Farm, Toronto City Centre Airport (also Island Airport), as well as beaches (including a clothing-optional one), yacht clubs, and a car-free zone.

The OSC, once officially called the Centennial Centre of Science and Technology, opened in 1969. By the seventies it drew in large crowds for its highly interactive exhibits and live demonstrations.

Nicknamed the ROM (rhymes with Tom), this Royal museum is the fifth largest in North America which was first run by the University of Toronto until 1955. It is notable for its natural history and world culture galleries, with roughly six million items on display.

Founded in 1900 as the Art Museum of Toronto, the AGO houses over 60,000 pieces, covering 1st-century to modern-day, local and foreign (European) artworks.

Literally House on the Hill, Casa Loma was once the home of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt and the largest private residence in all Canada. It was later opened to the public in 1937, operated by the Kiwanis Club of Toronto, after Pellatt was forced to give it up in 1923.
