Discover the city where medieval history meets riverside charm, legendary gingerbread and the storey of Nicolaus Copernicus.
Toruń is one of Poland’s most distinctive historic cities - and exploring it on foot is the best way to experience its many different sides. Wander through a beautifully preserved medieval Old Town, hear stories of Teutonic Knights and Hanseatic merchants, discover the birthplace of Copernicus, and take in views stretching towards the Vistula River.
Your local guide will lead you through the historic heart of the city, bringing its monuments and streets to life with stories, legends and fascinating details. See the impressive Old Town Hall, one of the largest medieval brick town halls in Europe, and stop at the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument to learn more about the astronomer who changed our understanding of the universe.
Along the way, discover Toruń’s Gothic heritage, including its historic churches, the remains of the Teutonic Castle, and the famous Leaning Tower.

And then there is gingerbread. Toruń’s most famous local speciality has been part of the city’s identity for centuries. Your guide will tell you how this sweet, spicy treat became one of Poland’s best-known culinary traditions - and point out places where you can experience it for yourself after the tour.
