Old Town Market Square
Rynek Staromiejski
The heart of Toruń's Old Town, where the Copernicus statue, the Raftsman Fountain and colorful gabled houses surround the town hall.
The Old Town Square unfolds around the town hall, lined with Gothic and Baroque gabled houses, cafés and gingerbread shops. At the southeastern corner stands a statue of Copernicus erected in 1853. On the west side are the Raftsman Fountain and a donkey statue, and legend has it that rubbing the donkey brings good luck. The square hosts open-air concerts in summer and a Christmas market in winter. It is the starting point for walking tours of the Old Town, and most of the surrounding sights are a 5 to 10 minute walk away.
