Birthplace of Copernicus, this gingerbread capital is a spectacular Gothic city.

Rich with history and Gothic architecture, Toruń has one of the best-preserved old towns in Pomerania, packed with monumental red-brick edifices, baroque facades and vaulted roofs. And while the Old Town has a sleepy country-town feel, the central square district buzzes with night life.
