THE OLD TOWN OF TORUN

P eople say: "Beautiful Toruń..."

... and are perhaps right. Because here they can witness the layout of streets of Toruń Old Town, which has not been changed for centuries, the most beautiful Polish panorama - of the illuminated medieval part of the city seen from the Vistula River side, Nicolaus Copernicus birth house - the famous son of Toruń, silent arches of St. Johns Cathedral - where the great astronomer was baptised, the tomb of princess Anna Wazówna in Saint Mary church , TheTown Hall of unique beauty, whose courtyard remembers the "Toruń Mutiny" drowned in blood in 1724...

T oruń - as all cities with rich history - has its own magical places.
Tourists and citizens of Toruń point at a lane near The Leaning Tower , arches between apartment houses in Ciasna street, spacious Philadelphia Boulevard, whole area of the Old Town Market, constantly crowded Szeroka street and the Dream Valley hugging the Old Town. Parts of Toruń’s climate are also traditional meetings near the Rafter's Monument , playing his fiddles for the frogs and Nicolaus Copernicus - who "stopped the Sun and moved the Earth". When sightseeing in the home city of the great astronomer, hundreds of thousands of spectators find it a natural thing to attend a spectacle in Planetarium.

T hus we would like to invite you all to the city about which people say: "Beautiful Toruń..."
