4. Distillery Historic District

DOWNTOWN.   At the center of this district is the former Gooderham & Worts Distillery, a massive facility that, in its heyday, produced 2.1 million gallons of spirits annually. The business shut down in 1990, and the site was used as a movie location for about a decade. In 2003, the area reopened as Toronto's first pedestrian district, with a focus on the arts. The brick-lined streets are home to numerous art galleries and performance venues, cafes and retail boutiques. In record time, the National Historic Site has become one of the city's most visited shopping and entertainment districts. Tours are available (walking or via Segway) – call 866-405-8687 to reserve a space.   (© 10Best)
