About this place
Toruń is one of the few Polish cities whose medieval fabric survived the Second World War practically intact. You walk on original Gothic here, not on a reconstruction.
The fourteenth-century Old Town Hall houses a museum, and from its tower you can see the layout of both towns — Old and New. The house of Nicolaus Copernicus stands a few hundred metres away, on Kopernika street.
The ruins of the Teutonic castle lie between the old town and the Vistula. Entry is free and takes a quarter of an hour.
Good to know
- Walking the old town itself is free — you pay to enter the museums.
- The Vistula boulevard gives the best view of the city panorama.
- The gingerbread bakery by the market square runs workshops that must be booked.
