Krzywa Wieża
Part of old ToruÅ defense wall system built in the 13th century. Poor foundations led the tower to substantially lean at an angle soon after its construction. It's customary to see if you can stand with your feet against the wall and your arms outstretched in front of you hint: it's pretty much impossible!
Ratusz Staromiejski (Old Town Hall)
One of the most beautiful Gothic town halls in Europe. Despite its many treasures it is however not too rewarding for foreign visitors as it is almost entirely explained in Polish. Translations are very sparse or non-existent. The Museum consists of Gallery of Gothic art, Exhibition of old ToruÅ 1233-1793, Exhibition of ToruÅ coins, Court hall, Hall of Polish kings etc. Climb the tower for a beautiful view!
