The Medieval Town of Toruń is a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers the town of Toruń, which was greatly expanded in the 13th century by the Teutonic Knights, a group of German religious crusaders. There's a lot of interesting stuff here: the Old Town, the New Town, a ruined castle, and the home of Nicolas Copernicus as well - did you know he was Polish?
