Where Should I go: Stockholm or Torun?
Stockholm
Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden and is made up of over 14 islands that are connected by countless bridges. Water is an integral part of the city, but so are parks and gardens. The city is covered in strategically positioned green space. Together, the water and parkland cover more than half of the city's area, giving this bustling city a breath of fresh air.
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.
