A Fresh Look at Toronto

By Jamie Sarner


The Distillery District is among the most popular locations in Toronto, and not only for the various filming productions that are regular guests here. This consequential district is the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery and has one of the greatest collections of Victorian-era heritage buildings.

The distillery once belonged among hugest of such districts in the entire world. Today, this Countrywide Historical Site is a popular neighbourhood boosting cafs, trattorias, and shops that's successfully bringing art, culture, and entertainment into this colourful area in the heart of Toronto.

If you're a big fan of art, you will definitely recognize the glass and aluminium design of the entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum and the geometric forms of The Crystal by Daniel Libeskind. Opened in 2007, it really puts the ROM, Canada's hugest museum of world culture and natural history, on the shortlist of Toronto's landmarks.



Union Station is one of the most active commuter train stations, and it lies in the exact heart of the Monetary District. It's possibly one of the first locations you'll see when arriving in Toronto. With the daily numbers of more than 200,000 passengers served, the station services inter-city trains, GO Transit trains and buses, and the TTC tube and streetcar system. When you're not in a rush for work, slow down and take a closer look at the beautiful arrangement of this station, listed as a State Consequential Site.



This attractive Medieval Castle that goes called "the house on the hill" takes you back in time and allows you to meander dreamily around its corridors and along its 98 rooms. Casa Loma might be over a century old, but it will continue to draw big lots of visitors each year. If you decide to visit the castle, you can explore its secret passageways, 800-foot tunnel, breath-taking towers, grand staircase, or check out its stunning interiors. Casa Loma belongs to the top filming locations in Toronto, making an appearance in Hollywood blockbusters such as X-Men, Scott Traveller vs. The World, Chicago and many more.
