Virtual Tour of Toronto, Canada

Toronto is the biggest Canadian city and 5th largest city in North America after Mexico City , New York , Los Angeles and Chicago . In 1998 the rapidly growing Toronto and six other communities are merged to form a new Mega-city, else known as GTA (Greater Toronto Area).

With a population of 2.48 million people (5.5 million in the GTA — Greater Toronto Area) is heralded as one of the most multicultural cities in the world and is ranked as the safest large metropolitan area in North America. Over 140 languages and dialects are spoken here, and just over 30 per cent of Toronto residents speak a language other than English or French at home.

Toronto is not the capital of Canada but it is cultural, entertainment, and financial capital of the nation. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late-18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British monarchy from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant-governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name.

One o the biggest attractions of the city is the CN Tower standing 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) tall, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest tower at the time. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually.

Another record was created by Yonge Street as "the World's Longest Street" 1,896 km (1,178 mi). Indeed, the Guinness Book of World Records published Yonge Street's status as the true record until 1999. Some people think that Yonge Street still remains the longest street in the world, some people think the claim is false because they say the HW11 is not part of the Yonge Street.

Walking on the streets of Toronto making almost impossible to believe that city has another town (PATH) hidden under the ground. According to Guinness World Records, PATH is the largest underground shopping complex with 28 km (17 miles) of shopping arcades. It has 371,600 sq. metres (4 million sq. ft) of retail space. In fact, the retail space connected to PATH rivals the West Edmonton Mall in size. The approximate 1,200 shops and services, such as photocopy shops and shoe repairs, found in PATH, employ about 5,000 people. Once a year, businesses in PATH host the world's largest underground sidewalk sale.

The Niagara Falls located about two hours away from downtown core but still considered to be one of the biggest Toronto's attractions. The waterfall has highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world and has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m).

This is truly a beautiful way to 'visit' a city or country. I lived and worked in Toronto for 14 yrs and loved it very much. I visited Niagara Falls many times. I moved from London, GB and think Canada is the best country in the world. I now live in Florida where the weather is the very best.

Very well done. I have lived in the Toronto area for fifty six years, coming from the U.K. oroginally. However, I must say that I am a little disappointed to see nothing from the British Isles- England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, plus the huindreds of islands around their shores.

margaretorr orr, Canada

We understand your wish, but lets think together. Every day more than 100000 people open our site. Would they like to see your birthplace? :) Would you like to see all their birthplaces? That is the reason why we don't make panoramas of somebody's birthplaces, we shoot panoramas of the most significant and beautiful places of our planet.

Varvara, AirPano

Now if only Toronto was the capital of Canada.

Robert Lambe, Canada

Lived here for a few years and now can only visit it. I always loved Toronto, but never realized how truly beautiful it was. An arial perspective makes a huge difference. Thanks. I have spent hours today "visiting" many part of the world via your website.

Have known about Toronto since my geographic days in UK as a kid. Have lived in the east, west and north of TO and worked downtown and North York between 1962 and 1974. Since 1974, we have lived within sight of TO and keep an eye on it from the eastern boundary of Peel Region (part of the GTA), for 38 years! Your helicopter coverage is accurate and amazing - thank you so much.

LINDA AGNES HAYES, Spain

I lived in Toronto (off and on)from 1960 to 1963. I loved it and had always hoped to return. However, as you see, I now live in Australia on the Sunshine Coast; another beautiful place. The panorama brought back many happy memories. Thank you.

Margaret Johnson (nee Ball), Australia

Marcia Campbell, United Kingdom

Excellent photography. I have lived in Toronto since 1957. I know almost every street within it, and the surrounding Regions too. I live in Durham region.

Georgina Turan, Canada

I was born in Trinidad. I have seen in my 71 years a number of cities throughout the world the most beautiful I believe to be Paris. I have chosen to live in Toronto. This panoramic tour of Toronto does the city justice. Congratulations to all involved.

Errol Superville, Canada

Many thanks for your kind opinion. It touched us.

This is a wonderful work, I have ever experienced the helicopter sightseeing, and yours is as great as that!

William Wu, China

Thank you for enabling me to visit a city such as TORONTO without having to pay for the helicopter sight seeing! As a teacher, I can't afford to visit a lot but at least my students have benefited from both the text and the pictures on your site and I thank you for that!

Valérie PERRIN-PAUL, France

Very beautiful; The pictures are wonderful; they encourage me to visit the city sometime soon. I have to admit you are doing a great job by introducing these amazing places on our lovely Earth. Thank you

Martin Braddock, United Kingdom

As a long-time resident of what is now Mississauga, I had visited Toronto many times in my youth. I did not realize the size of the Toronto Island until I viewed your panorama. It seems more a breakwater now. Thanks for your wonderful photography.

Murray Hayes, Canada

At your disposal! We are happy to be useful.

hfhfgh ghfghf, Egypt

Wonderful view. Thank you so much for including that on the page. I am wanting to visit Toronto this year and that aerial coverage is so beautiful and gives me ideas on what to see. FYI, the airport is labeled Topronto instead of, what I am assuming should be Toronto. Thanks for posting again.

Christina Silvis, USA

Excellent work wonderful & amazing ...congratulation

Fahad AlWadie, Saudi Arabia

Love the 360° Aerial Panorama of Toronto. Enjoyed the essay on Toronto, too. In your essay, Toronto is noted as being also known as the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA is not the same as the City of Toronto. GTA describes an area made-up of Toronto and four regional municipalities that surround Toronto. These regions are not a part of Toronto and people living in them would take offence to being called Toronto. For your consideration, I'm not entirely sure that Niagara Falls is considered to be one of the biggest Toronto's attractions by the general population of the Province of Ontario, of which Toronto is the capital city. However, it is one of the biggest attractions of Ontario and one that many people visiting the province include on their itinerary when visiting Toronto. From Wikipedia: The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the largest metropolitan area in Canada, with a 2011 census population of over 6 million. The Greater Toronto Area is defined as the central city of Toronto, along with four regional municipalities surrounding it: Durham, Halton, Peel, and York.

Michael Thomas, Canada

We aprreciate your informative message and we are grateful for the interest in this panorama!

I saw the city of Panorama and the most interesting thing and the biggest thing I saw was the C N tower.I also saw lots of cool skyscrapers and I saw lots of cars but I didn't get to see any people because I was looking at everything in an airplane.Boats and cars from the CNTower look like small toys.From the helicopter, I saw lots of islands that are big and small.

Check out the spelling of the expressway. I think it should be the Gardiner Expressway. From the helicopter looking east.

Jim Murphy [email protected], Canada

Thank's Jim! It has been fixed.

Johann Auer, Austria

Excellent! An amendment needs to be made for the population numbers to reflect the 2011 census (the numbers above are from 2006). Population is 2, 615, 060 Greater Toronto is 6, 054, 191 Based on its metro population Toronto is poised to become the 4th largest in North America (or 3rd largest between US and CAN) in about 10 years (or less). Lovely work, thank you for sharing :)

12 Best Toronto Virtual Tours: How to Travel to Toronto from Home

by Stephanie · Published March 30, 2020 · Updated February 27, 2024

Are you looking for a little escape to the city from the comfort of your own home? Consider experiencing one of the many Toronto virtual tours that will transport you through the streets of Toronto and into some of the city’s most iconic buildings.

During a time of uncertainty and travel restrictions, we should still allow ourselves the freedom to dream. And while we can’t physically travel right now, it doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a little mental escape. So, I’ve compiled a list of top Toronto virtual tours and online experiences that will inspire you to escape during times when you can’t physically travel, whether it’s during a worldwide pandemic (like now), in between trips while working full-time, or when you’re saving up for the next big vacation.

6 Toronto Virtual Tours

virtual tour of toronto canada

Royal Ontario Museum

The ROM as it is affectionately called is one of Toronto’s top museums to visit. But did you know that they have over 45,000 pieces of their collection online? You can easily browse the Royal Ontario Museum’s collection online , from ancient Egyptian artifacts to beautiful minerals, gems, and meteorites.

But there are more online experiences at the Royal Ontario Museum! These change regularly, so check back for my virtual experiences at the ROM.

And if you want that perfect virtual tour of the Royal Ontario Museum check out the Google Art & Culture street view here .

virtual tour of toronto canada

Ontario Legislative Assembly

Another top virtual tour of Toronto takes you into one of the most beautiful yet not widely visited buildings, the Ontario Legislative Assembly. Located in Toronto’s Queen’s Park, the Ontario Legislative Assembly is where members of the provincial parliament meet to pass bills and discuss important provincial matters. Built between 1886 and 1892 and in the Georgian architecture style, the Ontario Legislative Assembly is a stunning building both inside and out.

They run amazing free guided tours where you can learn about the building, its people, and discover interesting features. It’s also a great spot to see cherry blossoms in Toronto . But when you can’t travel you can take a virtual tour of the building . A couple of my favourite places in the building include the grand staircase and the incredible stain glass on the third floor.

Want other ideas on how you can travel from home? Check out these Inspiring Travel Books to help feed your wanderlust!

University of Toronto

Another of my favourite places in Toronto to explore is the University of Toronto’s downtown St. George campus. Wandering its historic buildings, many dating back to the early 1800s, winding pathways, and beautifully manicured green spaces make you feel like you’re stepping back in time.

And if you want to explore Toronto online, a great place to start is the University of Toronto’s virtual tour, which you can find here . The 360˚ online tour will take you by many of the enchanted buildings on-site like Hart House and the Soldiers’ Tower.

Rouge National Urban Park

How about enjoying a virtual hike ? You can enjoy ten different virtual hikes in Canada’s first urban national park, Rouge National Urban Park. Download the Rouge App today and you can try out one of their many hikes before you head out. So, whether it’s a rainy day and you still want a dry dose of nature or you’re planning your next hike, try one or all of Rouge National Park’s virtual hikes .

Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre virtual tour

The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre

There are endless places in Toronto to explore that you may not have considered. Think the only way you can visit the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre is by attending a performance? Wrong! This National Historic Site runs year-round guided tours that will take you the behind the scenes, regale you in stories from its over 100 years existence, show you the world’s largest vaudeville scenery collection, and so much more.

Can’t go see that theatre performance you were looking forward to or take an in-person guided tour? Try taking a virtual tour of the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre . Explore the only Edwardian stacked theatre still in existence from home. Enter the grand hall and explore past its plush red seats and discover this Toronto gem.

Hop on Hop off City Bus Tour

One of my favourite ways to see a city when I first visit is through either a walking tour or a hop-on-hop-off bus tour. They both help you orient to where things are in the city and teach you about its top sights. Then you can go from there to visit the places that stood out during your tour. Toronto’s Hop on Hop off City Bus Tour will take you across the city and give you interesting tidbits of information that you may not have read in the guide books.

And while you may not be able to take one of these Toronto tours now, you can enjoy one online with this fun video of one during a beautiful summer day. Watch as you board at Yonge and Dundas Square and sit atop the red double-decker bus as it takes you on a virtual tour of Toronto.

6 Online Experiences of Toronto

virtual tour of toronto canada

When we can’t travel we always seem to crave to visit places that are whimsical or enchanting like castles. Well, right in the heart of downtown Toronto is one that fits that bill, Casa Loma.

Turns out you don’t need to fly halfway across the world to experience a magical castle. While there’s a hefty price tag on admission into Casa Loma (cough, $30) it is worth it if you take the time to explore each and every room, corner, and passageway.

If you’re looking for a free tour or to enjoy this grand building sitting behind your computer at home then you can do that too! While it’s not like the Toronto virtual tours I’ve mentioned above, it is an awesome online experience.

Many of the rooms can be explored, like the Conservatory, the library, and more. Check out Casa Loma’s online experience here .

Gardiner Museum dishes

Gardiner Museum

One of my favourite museums in Toronto that I feel doesn’t get the attention it deserves is the Gardiner Museum. Perhaps it’s because it sits in the shadows of the Royal Ontario Museum that’s located right across the street.

The Gardiner showcases all things ceramics with a collection of 4,000 pieces that span from ancient Americas right up to today. They also run art classes and free guided tours.

But if you’re looking to visit from home you can check out their vast exhibits online through their website under Collections & Research . You can choose which collection you’d like to search, everything from Ancient Americas to 19 th & Early 20 th Century Ceramics, and even click on each object to learn more.

Art Gallery of Ontario

Another amazing museum to visit in Toronto is the Art Gallery of Ontario or the AGO. With over 90,000 pieces of art in its collection, the Art Gallery of Ontario has something to pique everyone’s interest. They also offer free tours with admission and even have pop up talks that discuss particular pieces.

Whether your art aficionado or just looking to dig deeper into some of your favourite art in between trips or when you’re stuck at home, you can always access the AGO’s collection . Of course, my favourite pieces to check out are by the Group of Seven.

Toronto Public Library

To me, the Toronto Public Library is one of Toronto’s hidden gems . Beyond all the books and stunning interior architecture is a range of interesting exhibits, like the Arthur Conan Doyle Room that’s dedicated to his wealth of literary works, including all things Sherlock Holmes.

But you can also enjoy a long list of virtual exhibits from the Toronto Public Library. Some tour Toronto like The Changing Face of Toronto and Garden City: Public and Private Gardens in Early Toronto. And others transport to another place like Frozen Ocean – Search for the North-West Passage. You can find all of their virtual exhibits here.

Toronto Zoo lion cub

The Toronto Zoo

For all those who love animals and know they’ll probably never get to see them in the wild, zoos have a remarkable ability to bring people and wildlife together. And the Toronto Zoo is just such a place.

With a heavy focus and conservation and education, the Toronto Zoo is a wonderful place to visit. Stepping into their pavilions dedicated to everywhere from the Americas to Australasia you’ll immediately be swept away to another place.

With the pungent smells of lowland gorillas and the quirky sounds of white-cheeked turacos, you’ll forget you’re in Toronto and think how did I get to Africa?

Even when you can’t visit the Toronto Zoo you can always get your daily dose of cute animals by checking out their Instagram stories as keeper continue to care for zoo animals and plants.

Or you can visit the Toronto Zoo’s Facebook page . During the recent closure, they are doing Facebook lives every day at 1pm where you can meet a different keeper and learn about some of the amazing animals that call the zoo home.

Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada

Who else is fascinated by sharks? I find them one of the most intriguing and sadly misunderstood creatures on Earth. And if you’re fascinated by the underwater world, as I am, you can take a peek below the surface with the Ripley Aquarium’s shark cam !

virtual tour of Bruce Peninsula National Park

BONUS Ontario Virtual Tours & Online Experiences

Are you looking for more ways to experience Ontario places online? I couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favourite Ontario virtual tours and online experiences. Like Algonquin Park’s webcam that will show you what’s going on in the park right now, and boy what a beautiful view!

Another incredible online experience comes from the Stratford Festival. They’ve listed a bunch of awesome performances that you can now watch online , like the classic Romeo and Juliet.

If you’re looking for more outdoor virtual tours check out Bruce Peninsula National Park here . And for all you hiking fans, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has gathered some 360-degree hikes from coast to coast.

If all of these aren’t enough, you can find an epic list of virtual tours of Ontario here . And you can also explore Canada virtually too!

7 awesome ways to explore Canada virtually

Stuck at home and dreaming of travelling Canada coast to coast to coast? Well, you can, with these seven ways to explore Canada virtually. | My Wandering Voyage travel blog #Travel #Canada #VirtualTravel

Sometimes travel isn’t always possible. Whether you’ve been asked to stay inside or you work full time and can’t travel as often as you like, or maybe you’re housebound because you broke your ankle, I don’t know, travel just isn’t always possible. Luckily, technology and a group of crafty people have come together to offer ways to explore Canada virtually.

NOTE: Travel is not recommended at this time. These posts are here to serve as inspiration when we can explore again.

Canada is a big freaking country with many city centres, museums, galleries and natural wonders, but there are ways that you can see it all from the comfort of your own home. This makes it the cheapest way to travel across Canada!

There are several ways to explore Canada virtually, from live cams to street views to virtual tours. I’ve tried to list as many as I could find, but there are likely more out there. If there’s a spot you really want to see, try typing “(location) virtual tour” into your search bar, and you’ll probably find something!

Live Cams of Canada’s natural beauty

working on a laptop | Ways to explore Canada virtually | My Wandering Voyage

The first way to explore Canada virtually is through the live cameras placed all around Canada. They can offer a sweet escape from reality while giving you incredible views of Canada’s natural beauty.

Orcas are freaking amazing. They are one of the coolest marine mammals out there, and in Canada, you can see them almost year-round off the coast of British Columbia. In this particular live cam , you can watch Orcas rub their bellies against the smooth pebbles of Johnstone Strait at Blackfish Sound.

It’s a popular spot, so you can also watch from above too, where you might even spy other animals like sea lions and eagles.

There’s nothing ~cooler~ than seeing polar bears in the wild. But if you’re stuck at home, why not watch them on a live cam placed at Wapusk National Park in Manitoba. It’s one of the largest concentrations of polar bear dens. While October and November are the busy months, you can go back and watch the highlights!

Algonquin Provincial Park is one popular park in Ontario. It sees thousands of visitors during the summer and fall, but you can enjoy the views from the comfort of your armchair with this live cam . The camera is placed at the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre and overlooks the gorgeous valley!

Niagara Falls has to be one of Canada’s top destinations. But you can see the power of the falls from the live cam mounted at Fallsview Casino . Sometimes it gets so misty that it covers the camera and other times, like a night, you’ll want to watch for hours for the light show!

Pier 21 in Nova Scotia welcomed thousands of immigrants to Canada from 1928 to 1971. Today, it’s a National Museum of Immigration. You can view the harbour, the Port Authority and the Seaport Farmers’ Market as well as Georges Island National Historic Site. Click the Ship Tracker to learn more about the boats you see on the live camera.

The story of Peggy’s Cove starts and ends with a lighthouse. Should you go to this popular Nova Scotian tourist attraction? | My Wandering Voyage travel blog

Peggy’s Cove Lighthouse, likely the most famous lighthouse in Canada, even has its own live cam . Watch the sunrise light up the famous landmark or watch the sunset over the harbour.

RELATED: Should you go to Peggy’s Cove?

There’s no doubt that most people have “seeing the northern lights” on their bucket list. But when you’re stuck at home, check out the Churchill Northern Studies Centre’s northern light cam in Churchill, Manitoba and watch them curled up on your couch.

Late winter and early spring are the best times for the aurora and, obviously, at night, BUT you can skip back to the previous night to see if the lights made an appearance.

Enjoy the 360-degree views of Toronto, Ontario, with the webcam atop the CN Tower . When the clouds don’t hide the view, you can see Lake Ontario, Toronto Islands, the Roger Centre and more.

Take in the view of the Narrows and the Harbour of St. John’s Newfoundland from this webcam. Watch the sunrise or try to spot icebergs in the distance.

Pacific Rim National Park Tofino beach | Ways to explore Canada virtually | My Wandering Voyage

On the opposite side of Canada, watch the waves crash against the beach at Long Beach Resort in Tofino, British Columbia. Come back for sunset and watch the sun sink below the horizon over the Pacific Ocean.

Live Cams of Canada’s Zoos

Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto

If you’ve wanted to check out Canada’s zoos, then you can do that from the comfort of your own home. Hey, it’s one way to explore Canada virtually!

If you love Shark Week, then you’ll love the Shark Cam at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto. I definitely jumped when a shark zoomed across the screen, super close to the camera.

Find more places to check out virtually in Ontario here.

If you’d rather watch cuddly sea creatures, then the Sea Otter Cam at the Vancouver Aquarium is for you. You never know what you’ll catch of these playful critters. They’ve got an underwater cam too! And if you want to see the other critters, Vancouver Aquarium also has a penguin cam and jelly cam .

Pandas are such fun to watch! And the Calgary Zoo has three (yes, three!) panda cams set up to give you the best view of these lovable, goofy bears every day from 9 am to 6 pm. You can even get in line to control the cameras!

Bruce Peninsula National Park viewpoint

Canada boasts some of the most incredible natural landscapes; from coast to coast to coast, we’ve got some of the best (and most remote) national parks in the world. But you can easily explore Canada virtually through a google street view project that Parks Canada completed in 2017.

You can explore every one of Canada’s 43 National Parks and many of its National Historic Sites. Check out the featured sites , or scroll to the bottom to see the list of places to explore sorted by province.

RELATED: Best Ontario Provincial Parks to visit in fall

My favourites are:

  • L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site in British Columbia
  • Fathom Five National Marine Park in Ontario
  • Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan
  • Ivvavik National Park in Nunavut

Soar above your Canadian bucket list places with the help of aerial tours. There are many videos online of cinematic and 4K views of Canadian hotspots, like Banff, Toronto, Vancouver and more. This is a high-def way you can explore Canada virtually.

Here are some of my favourites:

  • Above the Rocky Mountains – a 4K journey in Banff
  • Welcome to Canada – a 4K drone film of Ottawa
  • Vancouver, Canada by drone
  • Downtown Toronto by drone
  • Downtown Calgary by drone
  • Northern Newfoundland and Labrador by drone

One of the hardest parts about not travelling (or in our current case self-isolating) is not getting outdoors and hitting the trails. There are so many incredible trail systems in this country, and a great way to explore Canada virtually is to check out a virtual hike!

Nature Conservancy of Canada has several great hikes across the province. I suggest starting with Darkwoods, British Columbia or Gaff Point, Nova Scotia.

RELATED: Hiking the Bruce Trail: 14 incredible side trails to explore

Other great virtual hikes are:

  • Take in the sights and sounds of Haida Gwaii
  • Go on a 360-degree paddle of Long Lake Provincial Park in Nova Scotia
  • Explore the Lynn Creek Canyon Trail in British Columbia
  • Get as close as you can to wild animals all over Canada with this 360-degree video
  • Enjoy this hike of the famous Moraine Lake
  • Hike down to the seafloor at Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick

Virtually looking at Parks Canada | Ways to explore Canada virtually | My Wandering Voyage

Virtual reality took off a few years back, and many tourism boards are creating virtual reality tours of their cities or hotspots. The best part is, with special virtual reality glasses, you can feel immersed in a location without leaving your couch. What a way to explore Canada virtually!

You don’t necessarily need special virtual reality glasses (like these ones or even these cardboard ones ) to go on these tours. A lot of the options below you can check out on your laptop, but I think it’s a little more fun this way.

Here are some excellent 360-degree virtual reality tours you can find online for Canadian destinations:

  • Take a VR tour of Tofino, BC
  • VR tour of Niagara Falls
  • VR Tour of Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta
  • Hop on a double-decker bus for a VR Tour of Victoria , British Columbia
  • Tour ski-village Whistler, British Columbia by VR
  • Stroll through Quebec City with this VR tour

Working full-time and running a business has been mind-blowing. Good and bad.⁠⁠There are things I couldn't do this year because I just didn't have the time. And sadly, travel has taken a back seat this year. But there is still so much I accomplished, and it's at this time of year that I look back on all these things that brought joy to my life. ⁠⁠This year I: ⁠🏕️ Visited 14 provincial parks, 5 of which were new to me⁠🎞️ Renewed my love for film photography and ended up owning 12 film cameras 😅⁠🛶 Took my first backcountry canoe trip⁠⛵ Went sailing for the first time⁠🛌 Stayed in three tiny cabins⁠🚐 Fell in love with van life⁠🎶 Went to my first concert! (And then two more!)⁠🧳 Travelled internationally for the first time since 2019⁠🎤 Screamed the lyrics to Noah Kahan for approx. 5829 minutes ⁠And so much more! ⁠⁠I've got big plans for 2024, and it is going to shake up everything!
