Tennessee Spot Crowned 'Most Charming Small City' In The State

America has no shortage of major cities and tourist-heavy destinations that draw in millions of visitors every year, and while always deserving of a visit, it's worth noting how the small towns found throughout the country add character and flavor to the U.S.

Tennessee is home to some noteworthy small towns, destinations that offer a quiet beauty thanks to the natural scenery, friendly atmosphere and one-of-a-kind attractions that shine bright enough to draw visitors in to experience something they may not find in a bigger city.

LoveExploring compiled a list of the "most charming small city" in every state, ranking the destinations that "offer the culture, charm, and character" of big cities but with a more "laid-back" vibe. According to the site, the top choice for Tennessee is Gatlinburg. This spot has charm in spades — eclectic shops, mouthwatering eateries, unique attractions and breathtaking views.

Here's what LoveExploring had to say about this spot full of "small city charm":

"While many visit Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to explore the Great Smoky Mountains, the city itself is well worth discovering. For sweeping views, head to the Gatlinburg Space Needle or ride the Ober Gatlinburg Aerial Tramway. The area also boasts plenty of cozy restaurants, breweries, wineries, and distilleries."
