The Huffington Post has just published a ranking of 10 beautiful European cities that are often mistakenly overlooked. The coastal town of Piran was included in this exquisite company. The list includes the following cities: Belfast (Ireland), Ghent (Belgium), Helsinki (Finland), Leeds (England), Lyon (France), Malmö (Sweden), Mantua (Italy), Piran (Slovenia), Valencia (Spain), and Wroclaw (Poland).

The Huffington Post was founded in May 2005 by journalist Arianna Huffington and entrepreneur Kenneth Lerer. At first, it served as a blog to share your comments with other people, but over time it has developed into a very popular internet journal providing information on politics, business, entertainment and the environment.
