Day 1 - Touchdown in Toronto
Touch down in Toronto, and start your Canadian journey by taking a 360-degree view of the city from the CN Tower, one of the tallest freestanding structures in the world.

When the day goes down, savor a poutine to end your day - because, can you really say you've been to Canada until you've had poutine in Montreal?
