Gdansk: Tour to Torun

Torun is one of the most important tourist and academic centers in Poland. It is a charming city with a beautiful Old Market which was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997, together with the ruins of the Teutonic castle. It is also famous for its delicious gingerbread cookies which are baked here. Torun was birthplace of the Polish astronomer – Mikolaj Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus) who proved in the Renaissance that Earth rotates around the Sun and is not in the centre of the Solar system. Torun, unlike Warsaw, Gdansk or other historical cities, did not suffer any damage during World War II, which is why its world heritage is authentic. Let us take you there and see how interesting and beautiful it really is.
