Toronto Yonge Street drive in 4K. Yonge street is often said to be the longest street in the world, though it's not exactly so.

Yonge Street is a major arterial route in the Canadian province of Ontario connecting the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto to Lake Simcoe, a gateway to the Upper Great Lakes.

Oldest street in Toronto (since 1794), it is named after Sir George Yonge, an expert on ancient Roman roads. From its South end at Queens Quay in Toronto to its North end at the Holland River, Yonge Street is only 56 kilometres (35 mi) long.

This drive took us from Toronto's southernmost lake shore area through Downtown Toronto, Midtown, Uptown, North York then out of the city to Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, and Holland Landing where this epic street finally ends.
