Highlights
- Real-time walking tour streamed live from the unchanged medieval old town of Torun
- Fascinating, interesting and even morbid trivia to keep you riveted
Description
Toruń is a medieval old town which has not changed significantly since the 13th century, making it an exciting way to journey back in time. This live-streamed, interactive Online Experience will allow you to visit the most iconic buildings in the town and get to know the legends and interesting facts surrounding them, all from the comfort of your own home.
Take a look at how perfectly planned it was, and how Toruń takes care of its legacy by conserving and renovating its most beautiful buildings.
Do you know who the Teutonic Knights were? If not, this tour will familiarise you with their tales. Further, your guide will show you a very unusual clock that the town is known for, as well as the ruins of a castle of which only the toilet survived. How do you think people produced cement to build a wall when there was no calcium around? The answer might creep you out, but you will also be amazed by the creativity and resourcefulness of the medieval citizens of Toruń. On this tour, you will also see that Italy is not the only country to have a leaning tower.
Join this experience to find out why the city has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and why there are no frogs in Torun!

Anna Salecka
I moved to Toruń 5 years ago, and immediately fell in love with this charming and cosy city. I have travelled a lot in my life as I really enjoy learning about the history and culture of different countries and love learning languages.
I lived in London and Malaga but Toruń is a city of a perfect size - neither too big nor too small, and very beautiful. I have been a guide since 2019 and I find it a great way to share my passion for this town with others.
