This tour is dedicated to the famous Polish astronomer who was the founder of modern astronomy. The tour is led by a guide specializing in the life of one of the most eminent scholars of all time. Torun has plenty of objects connected with his life, and we will help you to explore them.

First, we will visit the Nicholas Copernicus Museum, located in two beautiful Gothic houses: his family house and a neighboring patrician house. The excellent supplement is the model of 15th-century Torun, with a sound-and-light programme. The next step is St. Johns’ Cathedral, which is one of Torun’s most valuable historical monuments. You will have an opportunity to see the baptismal font where Copernicus was baptized and his epitaph, as well. The Nicholas Copernicus Monument, which stands in front of the Old Town Hall and the Copernicus University, are the next steps of the tour. We will not miss the Nicholas Copernicus University Astronomy Observatory, which is one of the most up-to-date observatories with Europe’s third-largest radio telescope. You can choose the Planetarium instead, where special exhibits ensure an unforgettable experience.

If you are interested, we can also organize a Copernicus tour of Poland for you, which will also feature Krakow, Wroclaw, Olsztyn and Frombork, the place where he finalized his Heliocentric Theory.
