Your Experience

Toronto's waterfront is made ground. The lake once reached roughly to Front Street; everything south of it was filled in for railways and ships, and parts of that working shore are now public parks and promenades.

Start at Union Station's row of 22 limestone columns, a station a 1968 plan would have demolished. Walk under the tracks to the CN Tower, built because the new skyline blocked TV signals, then to the 1929 roundhouse with its turntable and the SkyDome, whose four-panel roof rolls open in about 25 minutes. Under the expressway, the harbour opens up: wooden WaveDecks shaped like Great Lakes shorelines, a city beach of yellow umbrellas, a 1926 powerhouse that is now a free art gallery, and a 1927 warehouse that grew a glass crown.

Nine stops, about 2.5 km and 85 minutes, in English and at your own pace. Entry to the CN Tower, the Toronto Railway Museum and the island ferry is not included.

Walk Toronto's old railway lands and waterfront, from Union Station's columns down to the harbour.
See the CN Tower, the John Street Roundhouse, the SkyDome, the WaveDecks and Queens Quay Terminal.
Hear why the railway built what was for three decades the world's tallest free-standing structure, and how the SkyDome's roof rolls away.
Finish at the ferry docks, looking across the harbour at the Toronto Islands.
9 stops over 2.4 km, about 85 minutes, with English audio you start whenever you like.

Good to know

Ticket code: Enter your ticket code on the Roamer redemption page from your confirmation before you set off.
Phone and browser: Bring a charged smartphone, since the GPS map and audio run in your phone browser.
Earphones: Bring earphones so you can hear the audio clearly as you walk.
Mobile data or Wi-Fi: Use mobile data, or open the tour on Wi-Fi before starting if you do not have data.
Extra layer: Bring a warm layer in spring, autumn, and winter, as the waterfront can be colder and windier than downtown.
