Approximately 70 KM away by car.

I see a lot of the Toronto love here poor Buffalo is being left out! The skylines of both cities as seen from the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls

Ok so the Toronto skyline should not be visible from Barrie due to the distance between the two (85 km). At this distance, the curvature of the earth would hide everything from a ground view. In fact, the curvature at that distance would hide the first 500-600m and the cn tower is only 553m.

So I came across this post of a guy asking if you would be able to see it from a drone shot or something above. Comments say probably not, guy explains the only reason he even asked was because he saw a panorama shot once of above Barrie and claimed you could just make out a skyline in the distance. Well, I checked the panorama shot, and I think you can actually see both a skyline and the cn tower. The pictures are extremely blurry, but see that faint cluster of buildings? And then just to the right you can make out a taller, but much skinnier streak. That’s gotta be the cn tower right? If it is, an awesome catch from the guy who asked the question.

Toronto from above. The yellow color of the plane windows is the reason why the picture looks like this.

No matter what people say this is the Tappe Zee Bridge and the NYC skyline is 20 miles (32km) down river

It’s about 30 miles, as the crow flies, from South Whidbey Island to downtown Seattle
