About 15 minutes walk east from Yonge/Front Street, this historic distillery district is worth taking the time to visit. Lots of nice little shops, places to eat and have a wee drink. Believe the hop on hop off bus stops at the entrance. Not a bad relaxing couple of hours.

Visited around 4:30PM to take advantage of free entry on Dec 13, Tue. Tickets ($11 + tax) to Distillery Winter Village are required Fri-Sun after 4PM but free all other times (not free on Dec 27-29 after 4PM). Intentionally avoided visiting on a Mon since I read that outdoor vendor cabins are closed on that day. No plans to shop or spend money, we were just after the ambience. We entered via Parliament St and stood in line for a quick photo op at the Big Heart installation. It was basically photo ops galore all the way to Trinity Square. The Distillery District was transformed into a stunning Christmas village complete with brightly lit LED stars, snowmen, lavishly decorated Christmas tree, countdown to Christmas sign, outdoor vendor cabins and more. Even Santa Claus and his elves were available for group photos near the giant tree, one only had to stand in line. There were a lot of people and it was a challenge to take photos without unwanted strangers in them. We only stayed until dusk, just dark enough to appreciate all the festive lights around us. We then made our way to Nathan Phillips Square to see more Christmas lights and decor.

.. even in the cold and damp, it was hard to visualise this area being that much better. Okay, in January, some units were closed for holidays but even the beers we had seemed pedestrian. We won't be going back anytime soon.

The buildings and the shops are great. An area where you should spend some time and easy to get to by tram from downtown. Had some great chocolate and selection of spirits. The area has been carefully restored and I just wish we had a bit more time to explore the area.

Went to the distillery district to have lunch after a busy morning exploring Toronto's downtown. The buildings and surroundings had been beautifully restored. There are many eateries and shops so just keep walking if you want to see them all. The place is also like an open art gallery. They have multiple sculptures, murals, and picture-worthy spots. We had a great time exploring around.

Highly recommend the walking guided tour! Nicole, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun! She brought us indoors a few times so we could warm up! At the end, we were given a delicious sample of Soma chocolate ❤️

I visited here on a lovely sunny cold day, there are multiple places for drinks, food, coffee and sweet treats. Really cool place to walk around and visit. A few small shops to visit too. Would deffinitly reccomend a visit

Loads of shops, stalls and places to eat. A wonderful way to do Christmas shopping but get their early as parking can be limited. They charge a small entry fee on weekends as the holiday season ramps up.

Ome of my favourite places of The city. A bit far away from downtown but easy access anyway. It's a great place to walk around, see the little shops and maybe have a drink or dine al fresco. There's so many choices. Find the love sign and the peace sign.

We went there to have dinner at El Catrin and stopped for ice cream afterward at "Scooped". I wish we would have been there earlier in the day to see the historic displays! The ambiance is fantastic and there are many places to sit and enjoy. It was within walking distance of our hotel and easy to get to, very safe. I'll go back there when I return to Toronto.
