Toronto

Five Facts: Toronto – A City of Castles, Towers, and World Records

1. Casa Loma is a real castle

Built in 1914, this Gothic Revival mansion is the only full-sized castle in North America, and you can step inside its grand salons, tower, and secret passages.

2. Toronto has a record-breaking skyline

The CN Tower held the record as the world’s tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, and its glass-floor observation deck still makes hearts race.

3. There’s a city beneath the city

The PATH is the largest underground shopping and pedestrian network in North America, with more than 1,200 shops stretching 19 miles below downtown.

4. It’s one of the most multicultural cities on earth

Half of Toronto’s population was born outside Canada, and over 160 languages are spoken, making it a true mosaic of global cultures.

5. Hollywood loves it

Toronto often doubles as New York, Chicago, and even outer space. Films like The Shape of Water, Good Will Hunting, and X-Men were all shot here.
