Towering over the city at 1,815 ft, the CN Tower is Toronto's landmark attraction, famous for offering unparalleled views of the city.

A little-known tidbit: as the tallest structure in the city, it gets struck by lightning around 75 times per year.

Thankfully, the Tower's build handles it easily, with electrons flowing through and causing zero damage.
