About

Quick facts: Over 40 handcrafted buildings made of red brick stand on a 13-hectare area that once housed the Gooderham & Worts distillery. More than 3 million people visit the district annually to experience art, culture, and culinary offerings.

Highlights: The cobblestones crunch underfoot while hundreds of festively lit lanterns highlight the centuries-old industrial charm. The air often smells of freshly baked bread and specialty beers from small breweries that are brewed in historic copper kettles.

Insider tips

  • Bequeme Schuhe sind wegen der Kopfsteinpflaster unerlässlich.
  • Fotospots gibt es besonders vor der großen Uhr und den alten Kupferkesseln.
  • Meiden Sie Wochenenden, um Menschenmengen zu vermeiden, besuchen Sie lieber an einem Wochentag.
  • Probieren Sie saisonale Spezialitäten in den kleinen Cafés und Brauereien, statt in den größeren Restaurants zu essen.
