1. The Living Museum of Gingerbread
Overall Ratings
5 based on 998 reviews
The Living Museum of Gingerbreads in Toruń is the first so interactive museum in Europe. It has existed since 2006 and it is located at 9 Rabiańska street, in the middle of the city center. It all takes place in the Medieval Bakery under the watchful eyes of Gingerbread Master. Visitors prepare dough by themselves and bake their own gingerbreads. Another floor is a manufacturing room from the early 20th century where we teach how to decorate gingerbreads with an icing. We welcome all those who want to learn about the tradition of baking gingerbreads in Toruń and its medieval culture. All of this happens in a fantastic atmosphere with a great deal of humor. The visit in our Museum is fun and joy for everyone, no matter what age you are.

It was a fantastic experience. We had so much fun. The actors are fantastic and so charismatic. Our group was mainly Polish, but my boyfriend is English and one staff member was translating everything for him - thank you so much for this. I recommend this place to all of my friends that are travelling to Torun. If I will visit Torun again I will definitely come and bake some pierniki again :)

Another lovely Polish old town square with historic buildings, cafes and bars. Great place to have a mulled wine outside under a heater in autumn.

Natural Island in the middle of the city of Bydgoszcz. Important strategic asset during the Kingdom era

It is a nice island on the river. When we were there it was full of small shops and stands selling beer and food. There is a lot of space to chill there on the grass. Close to a few museums and the old town.

This is a great place to visit. The tour was very interesting, there were lots of humorous historical stories and it was fun making our own bar of soap. In particular, our English guide (tall with blond hair) was excellent and very informative. Definitely recommend a visit here.

I went for the tower. Narrow staircase with low headroom that opens into rooms and cubbies on the way up. You go through the bell rooms and the bells are ringing so be prepared. The view from the top is worth the work. Tallest structure in Torun so you see everything.
6. Monument of Nicolaus Copernicus

Nicolaus Copernicus is regarded as one of the most famous Poles of all times. Like Galileo, he challenged the world of the Catholic church in the Renaissance proving that the Earth orbits the Sun.
The monument was designed by the Danish artist Bertel Throvaldsen and cast in Warsaw in 1823.
Like many other bronze monuments - for example, Hanover's Martin Luther- it was removed for metal melting. Warsaw's Copernicus monument was removed right after the Warsaw Uprising in which it was badly damaged. Unlike Luther, the original monument was never found. However, the original casting mould was found in Denmark, so that right after WWII a new Copernicus monument was placed on the old spot.
Today, there are copies of this monument in other cities of the world, including Chicago.

Lovely old walls - and remarkably intact especially on the river side. You come across bits here and there elsewhere in the town, reminding you of the history of the place.
8. Teznie w Ciechocinku

Interesting distraction from a visit to Torun. I’ve never seen structures like these before but well worth a look if you are in the area. Pleasant walk around the 3 large wooden structures, can easily while away 30-40mins! The engineering must be appreciated but I don’t think they serve any useful purpose expect to draw people to an otherwise boring and depressing town. Ciechocinek must have the highest average age of any place I have ever been to, at 50 I felt like a youngster and was probably the youngest person there. Be wary of going inside, I spent 5zl and it literally took all of 30 seconds. Not a lot of money but the least value for money of any place I have been to.
9. Tightrope Walker - sculpture

This sculpture is located near Old Town over the river Brda. It is visible from the walk path down at the river or from the bridge. From far it looks like it's floating in the air. The whole area is one of the most beautiful, and popular spots in the city. The long walk along the river will take by Wyspa Mlynska, Fara - 15th century church, Old Town, Old Post Office, and beautiful 18th century granaries.
