New Town Market Square

Rynek Nowomiejski

The central square of medieval Toruń's New Town, surrounded by colourful merchants' houses and quieter than the Old Town Square.

In the Middle Ages Toruń consisted of two separate towns, the Old Town and the New Town, and the New Town Market Square is the heart of the New Town. Around the square stand restored Gothic and classical merchants' houses, including the 15th-century 'Golden Star' house, and St. James Church is right beside the square. There are plenty of restaurants and cafés here and fewer tourists, making it a good place to take a break. It is about a 5-minute walk east from the Old Town Square along Szeroka Street.
