Why Walk Torun

Torun's medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site that survived the wars remarkably intact. The Old Town Square is dominated by the 14th-century Town Hall. The house where Nicolaus Copernicus was born in 1473 is now a museum. Gothic churches, leaning towers, and red-brick granaries line the cobblestone streets. Torun has been making gingerbread since the 14th century, and the Gingerbread Museum lets visitors bake their own. The Vistula riverfront and the Teutonic Knights' castle ruins round out a compact city.
