A Fresh Look at Toronto

By Jamie Sarner


The Distillery District is one of the most well liked locations in Toronto, and not only for the various filming productions that are regular guests here. This significant district is the previous Gooderham and Worts Distillery and has one of the finest collections of Victorian-era heritage buildings.

The distillery once belonged among largest of such districts in the whole world. Today, this National Consequential Site is a favored area boosting cafs, restaurants, and shops that is successfully bringing art, culture, and entertainment into this colourful area in Downtown Toronto.

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



Union Station is among the most active commuter train stations, and it lies in the exact heart of the Monetary District. It's maybe 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 subway and streetcar system. When you're not in a rush for work, slow down and take a closer look at the beautiful design of this station, listed as a State Historic Site.



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