Historic Distillery District

Visit the ROM, home to 6 million artifacts spanning many centuries and locations.

Opened in 1803, St. Lawrence Market offers a glimpse of modern life in a historic setting. Most of the action during the week takes place in the South Market building, home to a Market Gallery exhibition space and more than 120 vendors, selling everything from specialty foods to handcrafted jewellery.

In the 1800s, this waterfront district was dominated by Gooderham and Worts, Canada's largest distillery. Today, the 47 buildings that made up the distillery have been lovingly restored and repurposed, now housing shops, galleries, eateries, studios and even a brewery. The pedestrian-only cobblestone streets make for a wonderful afternoon of exploring.
