Three Must-Visit Tourist Attractions in Toronto

A member of the North American Spine Society, Constantine Toumbis, MD, draws upon nearly 20 years of orthopedic surgery experience in his role as spine surgeon at Florida's Citrus Spine Institute. Beyond his professional pursuits, Dr. Constantine Toumbis enjoys traveling with his wife. One of his favorite destinations is Toronto, Canada. 

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and one of the country's most prominent tourism hubs. Below are three attractions worth checking out in the city:

1. CN Tower - Upon its completion in 1976, the CN Tower, at 553 meters, was the world's tallest freestanding structure. It's highest viewing area is in the 447-meter-high Sky Pod, where visitors can, on clear days, see as far as Niagara Falls and New York State. More adventurous visitors can do the edge walk, in which they are attached to a safety harness and complete a hands-free walk along a 1.5-meter-wide ledge around the outside edge of the tower's main pod.

2. Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) - Combining ancient artifacts and popular exhibitions from around the world in a building with a modern and sleek crystal-shaped design, the ROM is one of the most renowned museums in Canada. It was opened in 1914 and features galleries on ancient Rome and dinosaurs, among other areas of interest. 

3. Toronto Islands - This cluster of small islands is a short ferry ride from Toronto's downtown core and offers biking trails, sandy beaches, and a small amusement park.
