With a population of 144,000, Torun is a medium-sized city in north-central Poland that has avoided major damage over the centuries. However, this historic charm comes at a cost - the bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the climate veers between continental extremes. While Torun's well-preserved Gothic architecture and status as a UNESCO World Heritage site draw over 1.5 million tourists annually, the city may not be the best fit for those seeking an easy, streamlined life abroad.
