Things to do in Torun, Central Poland: The Best Monuments & Statues
Famous for its native son, the astronomer Copernicus, Torun was founded by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. You can still see the ruins of their castle, left pretty much unchanged from when it was destroyed by disgruntled medieval townsfolk. Torun was one of the few Polish cities to escape major damage in World War II. Its beautifully preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don’t miss the striking Old Town Hall. Torun is also famed for its gingerbread.

Really cool that even the great Kopernik is wearing a mask in the time of coronavirus. Very neat. No trash around it. Obviously there were lots of tourists but that's predictable since everyone wants a ????.

Filus is the cutest statue I’ve ever seen. He spends his time being petted by THOUSANDS of people each day. I fell in love with him. Filus was the dog of Professor Filutek, they were popular comic strip characters for 50 years. At the end the story, Professor Filutek disappeared, leaving Just his hat and his umbrella. Filus sits in the square waiting for his master to return.
