Whois & Analysis for torunonline.com

Toruń is a city in northern Poland, on the Vistula River.

Its population was 202,591 as of June 2016.

Toruń is one of the oldest cities in Poland.

In 1997 the medieval part of the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Previously it was the capital of the Toruń Voivodeship (1975–98) and the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1921–45).

Since 1999, Toruń has been a seat of the self-government of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and, as such, is one of its two capitals (together with Bydgoszcz).

The cities and neighboring counties form the Bydgoszcz-Toruń twin city metropolitan area.

The Second Polish Republic, also known as the Second Commonwealth of Poland or interwar Poland, refers to the country of Poland between the First and Second World Wars (1918–1939).

Officially known as the Republic of Poland or the Commonwealth of Poland, the Polish state was recreated in 1918, in the aftermath of World War I.

When, after several regional conflicts, the borders of the state were fixed in 1922, Poland's neighbours were Czechoslovakia, Germany, the Free City of Danzig, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and the Soviet Union.

It had access to the Baltic Sea via a short strip of coastline either side of the city of Gdynia.

Between March and August 1939, Poland also shared a border with the then-Hungarian governorate of Subcarpathia.

Despite internal and external pressures, it continued to exist until 1939, when Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union and the Slovak Republic, marking the beginning of World War II in Europe.

The Second Republic was significantly different in territory to the current Polish state.

It included substantially more territory in the east and less in the west.

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.

Tourism may be international, or within the traveller's country.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".
