Where Should I go: Corfu or Torun?
Corfu
Also known in modern Greek as Kerkira or Kerkyra, Corfu is the northernmost of Greece's Ionian islands, located off the nation's northwest coast in the Adriatic Sea. It has historically seen control of Venetians, French, and British powers, and today draws tourists mainly as a resort destination.
Like many beach destinations in Europe, Corfu can be expensive due to higher tourist demand and limited space on the island. But Greece is still a fairly affordable country compared to other places in Europe, so deals can be found.
Torun
Torun is a city in northern Poland, on the Vistula River. This magnificently walled Gothic town on the Vistula should be high on every traveler's list, possibly as its delights seem low on everyone else's, leaving visitors who make it here to revel unrestricted in its wealth of red-brick buildings, Unesco-listed sites and medieval city defenses, all of which WWII mercifully decided to ignore. Beyond architecture, Torun is also well known as the birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus. His name is all over town, and you can even buy gingerbread shaped in his image. This other Torun icon - its pierniki (gingerbread) - is famous across Poland.
