The Journey

1

Distillery District

Step back in time as you wander through the pedestrian-only Distillery District, North America's best-preserved collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture. Once home to the Gooderham and Worts distillery, the world's largest whiskey producer, these cobblestone lanes now house art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Arrive early to fully absorb the historic ambiance and discover unique treasures within these beautifully restored 19th-century buildings. Don't miss the iconic LOVE sign, a favorite photo spot.

2

Sugar Beach

Relax and unwind at Sugar Beach, a whimsical urban park on Toronto's waterfront. Designed for leisure and social gatherings, this unique space features Muskoka chairs, pink umbrellas, and a sandy 'beach' area, offering a playful contrast to the industrial surroundings. Enjoy stunning views of the Redpath Sugar Refinery, a working sugar refinery that adds to the area's unique character, and the Toronto Islands across the harbor. Although swimming isn't permitted, Sugar Beach is a perfect spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the lakeside atmosphere.

3

St. Lawrence Market

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of St. Lawrence Market, Toronto's oldest public market dating back to 1803. More than just a marketplace, this historic landmark has served as a post office, city hall, and even a jail. Today, it's a foodie paradise, offering everything from fresh produce and artisanal cheeses to local crafts and international delicacies. Be sure to savor a Canadian bacon sandwich from the renowned Carousel Bakery while exploring the market's rich history and cultural significance.

4

Cabbagetown

Explore the charming streets of Cabbagetown, one of Toronto's oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods. Originally settled by Irish immigrants who were so poor they grew cabbages in their front yards, hence the name. Today, Cabbagetown is an affluent area known for its beautifully preserved Victorian homes, including the Wellesley Cottages, and the tranquil Riverdale Farm, a working farm in the heart of the city. Stroll through its leafy streets and discover hidden cafes, boutiques, and a unique blend of history and modern living.

5

Evergreen Brick Works

Discover the Evergreen Brick Works, a revitalized former quarry that once produced the iconic red bricks used in many of Toronto's landmark buildings, including the Ontario Legislature. Transformed into an environmentally-focused community and cultural center, this urban park features naturalized ponds, restored industrial buildings, and a vibrant atmosphere. Visit the Saturday morning Farmers Market to enjoy fresh produce, local crafts, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pastries. It's a testament to sustainability, community, and the innovative repurposing of industrial spaces.
