Tarnów has been mentioned by CNN on its list the most beautiful European towns. The American broadcaster especially acknowledged Tarnów's Old Town, which it descibed as "a glorious mix of architectural styles". The list also includes small towns of Spain, Portugal, France, and other countries.
"Paris, Rome, Barcelona... Europe's cities are bucket list destinations, and rightly so. But the continent's small towns are a dream, too, with all the beautiful architecture and much of the culture you'll find in the big hitters, only with fewer crowds to share them with," CNN wrote in an introduction to the list published at its website.
"First things first -- this is a city. But wander the Old Town and you'll find it still has that small-town feel, with pretty medieval buildings that give a feel of how nearby Kraków was before mass tourism arrived," CNN said at its website.
"The Old Town square is a glorious mix of architectural styles, there's a beautiful gothic church and a lot of Jewish heritage -- though the community was more or less wiped out during the Second World War," the author lists.
Tarnów is a city with county rights, located in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, southern Poland. It has approx. 105,000 residents.
The list also inclused the following towns: Giethoorn in the Netherlands, Guimarães in Portugal, Roscoff in France, Anghiari in Italy, Nafplio in Greece, Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mazara del Vallo in Sicily, Clovelly in the United Kingdom, Dinkelsbühl in Germany, Korčula in Croatia, Kenmare in Ireland, Piran in Slovenia, Reine in Norway, and Regencos in Spain.
