#springwander Torun is one of those cities that feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Known for its beautifully preserved medieval architecture and as the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, it offers a perfect mix of history, charm, and delicious treats. Walking through the Old Town, I was captivated by the stunning Gothic buildings, especially the Town Hall and St. John's Cathedral. The narrow cobblestone streets, lined with colorful merchant houses, made every corner feel like a discovery. One of the highlights was visiting the Leaning Tower of Torun, an intriguing structure with a noticeable tilt. No trip to Torun is complete without trying its famous gingerbread. I visited a local bakery where they still make it using traditional recipes. The mix of spices and honey created an incredible aroma, and I even had the chance to decorate my own gingerbread cookie. As the sun set, I took a peaceful walk along the Vistula River, enjoying the view of the illuminated city skyline. With fewer tourists than other Polish cities, Torun feels like a well-kept secret waiting to be explored. #Torun #HiddenGem #Poland #MedievalTown
