Reconstructed Old Towns decidedly have their charm, but there is nothing like the real thing. Torun escaped the ravages of WWII, a lucky fact its many sights support. One portion of the town is in ruins though: read up on the valiant Torunian history and the town's lesson to would-be invaders. More history can be picked up in the town's many museums and galleries.

If music or theater are more to your taste, you'll find plenty to sup on in Torun. Other more tangible edibles and drinkables are available in the town's restaurants, cafes, and of course, pubs. Always mindful of what you need to know to get around, check out the practical tips section or book yourself a hotel room.
