Torun

TORUŃ     Close encounters with Copernicus, gingerbread and Gothic style

A city of three hundred monuments with prevailing Gothic style, located on the Vistula River and often associated with Nicolaus Copernicus and gingerbread. Perfect for a romantic weekend as well as for a family trip.

Toruń is one of Poland’s most interesting cities, with on-going restoration work. Numerous buildings that largely survived the Nazis intact provide variations on a historic theme: Renaissance, Gothic as well as some Baroque and occasional Secessionist flourish.

Toruń is now an educational and cultural centre, with the Mikołaj Kopernik University one of the Poland’s finest institutions.
