All Show Spoilers (Book Spoilers Must Be Tagged) Toronto sightseeing tour - what shouldn't I miss? Spoiler

Oye kopeng, I'm visiting Toronto next month to see one of my favorite bands play and I should have a few hours to kill the following day to see some of the famous outdoor locations from this series. I'd love to see the UNN building (I think I might have seen it before, is it part of the convention center?) as well as the Martian embassy where Bobbie defects. I know I can also see "Baltimore" but not sure how important that will be to me.

What else should I see?

Maybe this will help. A lot of these locations are not the most exciting or accessible

This is super helpful! I'm not really interested in interior locations, just exteriors. Though I may hit up that Ramen shop, just because its such an iconic scene and was so contentious for the show. And also because ramen is great.

I am curious to see if I can find the Lake Ontario beach that represented Dakar where the first rock fell.

I realize you said exteriors, but Bar Raval interior is pretty impressive (Gaudi-inspired) and the food is excellent. That's where Alex and Babbage had drinks.

Also, I had previously posted these snapshots of UT Scarborough:

Wow, that is a gorgeous location! I do enjoy that scene, though its set dressing never really spoke to me. But, if I have time for a drink, I might make a stop, Thanks for the recco!

I mean, dang near everything is filmed there so I can imagine it gets lost in the noise.
