Chełmno
A small medieval town with its city walls well preserved, known for its Renaissance town hall and the relics of St. Valentine, earning it the nickname 'City of Lovers'.
Chełmno is a small hilltop town above the Vistula, with about 2.3 km of medieval walls preserved and several Gothic churches. The Renaissance town hall on the central square is one of Poland's most beautiful, and its wall displays the 'Chełmno rod', a medieval unit of length. The Church of the Assumption holds relics of St. Valentine, which is why the town is called the 'City of Lovers', and it hosts events around Valentine's Day. It is about 45 km from Toruń, roughly an hour by bus.
