Prices item by item
The Old Town, the walls, the view from Kępa Bazarowa and Bulwar Filadelfijski are free.
The bill builds up in two places: tickets and dinner. Copernicus's House and the Museum of Toruń Gingerbread cost about the same, and since both are shut on Mondays, a day without a single ticket comes easiest on a Monday, with the view and the walls showing you the town for free. Dinner depends on the place.
