Toruń is a city with an exciting history and many sights. It was founded by knights of the Teutonic Order, who built a castle on the site in the mid-13th century as a base for missions in Prussia. Later, Toruń was a member of the Hanseatic League and an important trading post between the Baltic area and Eastern Europe, and this made the city flourish.
The medieval city of Toruń is well preserved, and it is not without reason that this part of the city has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The entire urban environment is full of atmosphere with several important houses in the so-called brick Gothic style, such as the home of the mathematician and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. In the district you can also see other architectural styles such as Renaissance and Baroque.
There are several beautiful squares in Toruń where the old and the new market squares, Rynek Staromiejski and Rynek Nowomiejski, are the most famous. At the old market square, you can see two of the city’s beautiful churches and the city’s town hall, where you can visit the Toruń Regional Museum. Close to this is the city’s cathedral, which is one of the city’s many architectural monuments from the Gothic era.
You can also take a walk along the river Wisła, where you can see the beautifully preserved city walls from the fortifications of Toruń. You can see the city gate Brama Mostowa, and by the city walls you should notice the city’s famous leaning tower. Make your way past the ruins of the old castle of the Teutonic Order as well, they are located along the river Wisła’s winding course through the city.
Bydgoszcz is a city in the northern part of Poland, and it is located on the river Brda at its confluence with the somewhat larger Wisła. The island of Wyspa Młyńska is in the middle of the city, and for centuries it was the center of the industrialization of Bydgoszcz. Today, it is not industry that characterizes the cityscape, but culture and architecture. You can e.g. visit Opera Nova, the city’s philharmonic and the Polish Theatre.
Bydgoszcz is also a city rich in architecture with buildings from different eras and in many styles. A stay in the city is therefore a meeting with Gothic architecture, Neo-Baroque style, Modernism, Art Nouveau, and more. The town’s half-timbered warehouses at Wyspa Młyńska are a special landmark of Bydgoszcz as some of the best-known constructions of this type in Poland.
Poznan is one of Poland’s great and historically significant cities. This means that many sights and activities await; museums, churches, shopping and other city activities and also special places such as the many preserved parts of the fortifications that made the former Festung Posen.
Poznan’s Old Town around the market square, Stary Rynek, is a lovely and cozy place for a walk. Here are beautifully decorated houses in line with the city’s old town hall as the central and probably most famous building. Stary Rynek itself is quite a large square with several monuments and more.
Łódź is one of Poland’s largest cities, and it is a city with an exciting history. The town was known as a small village from the 14th century, and King Władysław II Jagiełło granted it city rights in 1423. However, Łódź was subject to the bishops of the area until the end of the 18th century, after which it became part of Prussia in 1793 and from 1815 a part of the Congress Poland.
However, it was the industrialization of the 19th century that really left its mark on the development and prosperity of Łódź. The industrial growth brought many new inhabitants to the city, which became one of Poland’s largest. It was textile production in particular that brought production to Łódź, and over the years factories were built, which today constitute a characteristic feature of the cityscape.
