Activity itinerary

Monument of Nicolaus Copernicus

  • 15m
Meet one of Toruń’s most famous residents at this monument dedicated to Nicolaus Copernicus, the astronomer who challenged the traditional view of the universe. The statue is a perfect place to discover Copernicus’s connection to Toruń and the beginning of our tour

Old Town Hall

  • 10m
Admire one of the most impressive Gothic town halls in Northern Europe, a symbol of Toruń’s wealth and importance as a medieval trading centre. Today, the building houses the District Museum, but its history stretches back to the days when merchants, city officials and political representatives gathered here to shape the city’s future.

Kamienica pod Gwiazda

  • 5m
Star Tenement - a baroque facade of one of the most famous houses in Toruń. This richly decorated façade of this beautiful Baroque townhouse was named after the golden star crowning its roof. Once home to wealthy townspeople, the building now houses an exhibition dedicated to Asian art and culture.

The Arthur's Court

  • 10m
The local government institution, perfect example of a Dutch Neo-Renaissance style. An elegant building that reflects Toruń’s former status as a wealthy merchant city. Today, the building remains a cultural landmark on the Old Town Square, connecting the city’s commercial past with its modern cultural life.

Krzywa Wieza

  • 15m
Leaning Tower - one of Toruń’s most distinctive medieval landmarks: a defensive tower that leans noticeably away from the vertical. Built as part of the city’s fortifications, it has inspired legends about a Teutonic Knight’s punishment for breaking his vows.

House of Nicolas Copernicus Museum

  • 10m
The house of Nicolaus Copernicus at this historic Gothic street traditionally associated with his birthplace. The building now forms part of a museum dedicated to his life and achievements, exploring the world in which he grew up and the scientific ideas that changed our understanding of the universe.

St. Johns' Cathedral

  • 10m
The UNESCO-listed, magnificent Gothic cathedral, one of the city’s most important historic buildings. Dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist, it is closely connected to Copernicus, who was baptised here. Inside, visitors can admire historic religious artworks and discover the cathedral’s centuries-old role in the life of the city.

Teutonic Castle Ruins

  • 10m
the remains of the Teutonic Knights’ castle, one of the earliest strongholds established by the Order in the Chełmno region. The ruins offer a glimpse into the medieval power struggles that shaped Toruń and the surrounding lands.
