Where To Go In Toronto For Panoramic Views

The Toronto skyline is rapidly evolving, with apparently no end in sight to the high-rise condo construction boom. Many popular vistas of the city are almost unrecognizable when compared with similar views from just a few years ago. All the same, the most striking views of Toronto continue to be captured by professional photographers and avid Instagrammers alike. Here are 10 of the best spots for getting panoramic views around the city.

1. The BMO Field

Stadium

Even if you’re not into soccer, watching a Toronto FC game at the BMO Field is worth it for the stunning view of the city skyline that the stadium offers – even amid the screaming, red-and-white clad fans.

2. Riverdale Park

Park

On the other side of the city, Riverdale Park offers views of the Toronto skyline from the east side. Its location means that an ideal time to catch some stunning panoramic views is when the sun is setting.

3. Toronto Islands

Park

Taking the short ferry ride over to the Toronto Islands from Queen’s Quay Terminal offers a prime view of the city’s skyline. Whether you’re walking or cycling around the islands, you’ll have the chance to enjoy views of the city from an entirely new perspective.

4. Bathurst Street Bridge

Bridge

The Bathurst Street Bridge crosses over Toronto’s railway corridor and offers an unusual view of the downtown core. When strolling or jogging along the bridge, you’ll want to take a photo of the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, which by some trick of perspective, appear much closer than they really are.
