Toruń, Sopot, and Gdańsk


After a few days of rest to get over what little jet lag our guest had, we set out to Sopot/Gdańsk via Toruń. Toruń is another Polish UNESCO World Heritage site and is said to have not changed for the past 700 years.


The old city was absolutely amazing. Cobble stone streets. Small alleyways. Large Market squares. Toruń is the archetypical medieval European city.


It is also the birth place of Nicolaus Copernicus who as you all know was the modern astronomer who postulated the heliocentric nature of our universe. This scientifically-based epiphany is credited with sparking the modern Scientific Revolution.
