　　Toruń’s third great Gothic structure in the Old Town (after the Town Hall and Cathedral) is St Mary’s Church, erected by the Franciscans at the end of the 13th century. Austere and plain from the outside, the highly strung interior has tall, slender, intricate stained-glass windows, painted Gothic vaulting and a prominent golden altarpiece.

Explorers' Museum
Toruń
　　This is usually the last subdivision of the Regional Museum on visitors’ mental itineraries, which is a shame as it tells an interesting story.

House of Copernicus
Toruń

More engaging than the exhibitions of period furniture and writing is a short audiovisual presentation regarding Copernicus’ time in Toruń, with a model of the...
Old Town Hall
Toruń

Today it houses Gothic art (painting and stained glass), a display of local 17th- and 18th-century crafts and a gallery of Polish paintings...

You also get the chance to make your own gingerbread using dough prepared to...

Cathedral of SS John the Baptist & John the Evangelist
Toruń
　　Toruń’s mammoth Gothic cathedral was begun around 1260 but only completed at the end of the 15th century.
