Introduction

Toronto's Distillery District (originally the Gooderham & Worts Distillery), in the east of downtown Toronto, is a roughly 13-acre pedestrianized creative precinct built on the 19th-century 'Great Distillery' industrial site, one of North America's largest groupings of Victorian industrial architecture. Its red-brick former factory buildings have been converted into boutiques, galleries, cafés, restaurants, and craft bars, and the whole area is closed to vehicle traffic, with a strong festive atmosphere (such as at the Christmas Market). As a historic district, visitors can wander through freely without a ticket.
