Although less than an hour from the U.S.-Canada border, Montreal's European legacy is immediately evident. Fashion, nightlife and cuisine attest to this overseas influence; and there is the Underground City, 29 Km of tunnels with climate-controlled restaurants, shops, banks, cinemas, theaters and hotels literally under the ground. On the other hand, Toronto has the world's tallest freestanding structure, the 553-meter high CN Tower, and the world's biggest retractable roof, the Sky Dome.
