Cobblestones click underfoot as a local guide leads a small group through Toruń’s compact Old Town, the river’s breath at the edge of view. The tour opens at the Regional Museum and moves through a skyline of red brick: the Old Town Hall’s façades, the tilted silhouette of the Leaning Tower, and the brown-amber glow of the Copernicus House. The Vistula dares you to look farther, and the Teutonic ruins reward that glance with long city views.
