Toruń is one of the most beautiful cities of Poland and the Old Town is situated on the right bank of the river Vistula. In the Middle Ages, the city was part of the Hanse. Impressive city gates and massive city walls with emporiums of up to 4-stories were built along the banks of Vistula, which had the function of a natural harbour.

Today the old town of Toruń is a wonderfully preserved monument of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and as a city that was able to withstand all of these changes.
