The Chopin Centre in Szafarnia located in the Dobrzynska Land is based in the beautiful palace from the end of the 19th century. It was built in the place of the manor house belonging to Dziewanowski family, where Fryderyk Chopin spent his summer holidays in 1824 and 1825, described in humorous letters to parents called Szafarnia Courier. It is open for groups and individual tourists who can visit exhibitions about Chopin's life, works and learn more about his stay in Szafarnia. The Centre also offers guided tours, as well as educational courses about Chopin with live music, which are aimed at children, youth and adults. Besides exhibitions and tours, the Centre is a place of numerous cultural events, such as:concerts on Saturday's evenings, workshops for musicians, master classes and competitions e.g.The International F.Chopin Piano Competition for Children and Youth. The Centre is created to cultivate the memory of Chopin and to popularise his music to the wide audience.

The Invisible House is one out of 5 tourist attractions in the world (of which we know) that presents the world by switching off the sense of sight. And it is one of the 5 most important places to visit in Torun. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and takes place in total darkness. Considering the fact of strong emotions experienced during the tour, we kindly invite persons at age 9+. The Invisible House directs its emotions to each of us individually. The proposed tour is of very unique, individual and personal character. Therefore, we would like to ask our visitors not to talk to friends or families of what they have seen here, or in fact, of what they have not seen in the Invisible House. Such reports and suggestions may interfere with experiences and impressions of our future visitors.

I personally loved it! I felt so welcomed by everyone there and I really enjoyed my time. I speak both Polish and English(Better at English), but out tour guide never failed to help us if we didn't understand something in Polish. It was such an amazing experience, I was scared at first cause it was pitch black,but as we continued on I felt more safe since our guide, was helpful and knew the way himself. I would honestly recommend, it was such a fun experience learning how to understand your surroundings and how the blind live the exact same day as us, just without light. I really hope to come again!

In general, medieval town squares had been taking two forms : of an open square, surrounded by public buildings and houses of gentry and rich townsfolk; so called patricians. And with town's hall or other public edifices in the middle of it. Torun's town square belong to this second type. Marked out after 1251 was an important point located on trade route to Malbork and Gdansk, and not so far from ford through a Vistula River. Back in the past it was most representative and prestigious part of town. And, to be honest, still is. After joining Hanseatic League in 1280 town had witnessed rapid growth. We can admire its effects in beautiful edifices of Old Town Square like Gothic Town Hall. Beside of public gatherings, fairs or tournaments, town square was place where court judgements were announced and public executions of criminals were taking place. In 1454 at the Torun's town square, Gabriel Bazynski voivode of Chelminska Land along with Torun's nobles, patricians and highest municipal officials swore allegiance to Polish King Casimir IV Jagiellon. Of course, the main function of town square were trade and commerce. Town square was divided into four markets where, along with the adjacent streets, selling goods was taking place. Around the old market place can be found one of the oldest tenements in Torun. Many of them constructed in 13th and 14th centuries were, later on, rebuilt in Renaissance, Baroque or Classicist styles. Many of those tenements concealing inside themselves beautiful historic interiors. From all the buildings of Old Town Square its western frontage is the youngest one. After being severely damaged during Swedish siege in 1703 in times of III Northern War ( or so called Great Northern War) it's been partly rebuilt after its end. In place of most damaged tenements Baroque Church of the Holy Spirit was erected. In 19th century some of the rebuilt tenements on the west side of the square were demolished by Prussian government (that was the time after III partition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), and Neo-Gothic edifice of Central Post Office was constructed in their place. Luckily enough, in times of WWII, when German Wehrmacht razed to the ground so many towns and cities in Poland, Russia and other countries Torun's Old Town Square was spared utter destruction, so we can admire its beauty. Definitely worth visiting.

We never thought Bydgoszcz has such a nice old town, well, we never thought Bydgszcz has an old town at all, we rather associated this city with post-industrial landscape. It turns out the old town, called sometimes as location town, has a lot to offer, in terms of heritage buidings, museums, and great landscapes along the water system, which is build around Brda river. Obviously the market square, with huge Monument to Struggle and Martyrdom in Bydgoszcz (Pomnik Walki i Meczenstwa Ziemi Bydgoskiej) is the centre of it all, but I would strongly recommend a visit to Wyspa Młyńska (Mill's Island) in first place, as it seems to be the top spot, especially for live outdoor events. Many old building were refurbished recently, so it all lookes very nice indeed.

It's quite a lovely building, interesting architecture. Located along the river bank it is probably the most visible because of sheer size.
