Poll: Best Town Square In The World (Round One)

Krakow, Poland's Rynek Glowny is the largest Medieval Town Square in the world.

Krakow, Poland's Rynek Glowny is the largest Medieval Town Square in the world...but is it your favorite?

If you have traveled to any major city in the world, then chances are you have walked by, snapped a picture in, or spent the day at a town square. From New York’s Time Square to Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, people love to check out these public meeting locations filled with everything from chic cafes to amazing architecture. So I ask you, what is the best town square in the world? Which one epitomizes what a town square should be?

Over the next few weeks I will be asking that question on this site and every week narrow it down until we pick the most popular town square in the world (according to the people that read this site of course.) Who knows, maybe I will even visit the winning location on a future getaway.

Click here for to vote between 50 of the most famous town squares in the world. The 20 most popular will move on to round two. You have until Sunday May 17 at 11pm EST to cast your vote. Thanks and may the best town square win.

    My favorite is Jelacic Square in Zagreb, because it functions more like a real town square than a tourist attraction:
