Welcome to Toruń!

For such a beautiful city...Toruń's main train station is a far from welcoming site. This underground passage is what visitors and tourists are first greeted with upon arriving in the city. This for sure will need a makeover if the city ever gets its 2016 European Capital of Culture status.

Compare it to our similar post last year:

What's he doing here?!

Toruń...is well-known for it's attractive buildings and gothic charm. Walking around the quaint, cobbled streets you really feel as if you are back in medieval times. Most of the buildings must at least be listed...meaning you couldn't really add any monstrous effigy to a facade. But wait?!! What's this? A monstrous effigy of a dragon on the facade of a pancake restaurant?!!! One will never learn!! ;-)
