Want to discover the greatest locations for viewing and photographing Toronto’s skyline while you’re in town? In this piece, I’ll describe the greatest sites and vantage points I’ve discovered, and farther down you’ll find photographic suggestions for photographing the cityscape. All of these recommendations are sites that you may visit for free or for a fee.
Further, more unusual perspectives may be available online, although these may be from private sites to which photographers have gotten access with or without permission. I believe Toronto should give additional rooftop bars and observation decks that are easily accessible to the general public. However, barring the CN Tower or a helicopter tour, it is difficult to locate many decent aerial places in Toronto. Want to discover the top locations in the city for taking photographs? Below are the top vantage points and locations for photographing the Toronto skyline.
Riverdale Park East
Riverdale Park East is an excellent location from which to see the Toronto skyline. The park is one of the most famous tourist locations in the city, and locals particularly like this vantage point since it overlooks a running track from a hill in the foreground. Riverdale Park East is a year-round must-visit due to its spectacular views of Toronto. This park on Broadview Avenue is the ideal location from which to see the city’s skyscrapers from a distance.
The CN Tower
The CN Tower is one of the most recognizable and iconic structures in the city. It is also one of the world’s most beautiful skyscrapers. The primary viewing platform is located at 346 meters, and there is a platform 447 meters higher. Without the CN Tower, what list of Toronto viewpoints would be complete? You must pay to ascend, but you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. You can always combine your visit with a meal at 360 or, if you’re feeling adventurous, the Edgewalk. These observation decks are among the best places to photograph the Toronto skyline due to their height. It is a paid vantage point, but it is well worth the cost and an enjoyable experience. Among the best things to do in Toronto is ascending the tower with the family.
Ireland Park
When strolling or running along Toronto’s waterfront, stop at Ireland Park, which is devoted to telling the story of the Irish in Canada, for a breathtaking perspective of the city. The Ireland Park gives a side perspective of the city and is located near the city’s shoreline. There are moments when the water of Lake Ontario may be exceptionally quiet, allowing you to take images of reflections such as those seen below. You may also visit this spot during the winter, when the lake’s ice is occasionally quite reflecting or a little fractured, providing a unique view. From Ireland Park, there are several seats from which to see the city as the sun sets and it begins to light up. Including the vibrant hues of the CN Tower.
Polson Pier
Polson Pier is located a short distance east of the city. This is one of the classic vantage points, and even in the winter, it offers an incredible perspective. You can get here via public transportation, car, or Uber. Few experiences are more memorable than watching the sunset over the cityscape from Polson Pier. Enjoying a bottle (or two) of wine will make the experience even more memorable. A trip to the Port Lands and Cabana Pool Bar is never complete without photographing the Toronto skyline. Nevertheless, if the idea of spending $20 (or more) to lie by a pool gives you the chills, you can enjoy similarly breathtaking views from all over Polson Pier.
