Torun, the city of Copernicus - Full-Day Private Tour

Meet your private driver at your hotel and drive to Torun, the best example of a medieval gothic town.

It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. “The City of Angels”, as the locals call it, is also the birthplace of great Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who made the crucial discovery that the Earth is not the center of the universe.

Explore the Old Town, admiring magnificent Gothic buildings that testify to the city’s past splendor. Stop by the Old Town hall, one of the most imposing in Northern Europe, housing the regional museum featuring valuable collections. Discover a cathedral of St John the Baptist and John the Evangelist with original interiors and a bell tower offering a splendid view over the city.
Pass several eye-catching burgher houses, with the superbly decorated House under the Star and the fine brick Gothic house where the astronomer was born. Embark on a route tracing the life of Nicolaus Copernicus with the Copernicus Chapel at St. James’ Church, where he was baptized.

At the end of the tour, participate in a souvenir hunt that could be a chance to taste gingerbread. It is baked according to old recipes and methods that date back to the 16th century.
Enjoy the most important places in Torun and learn from your guide what else you can discover on your own after this tour.

Relax in your luxurious car on the way back to your hotel.
