Hospitality and helpfulness make cities friendly, attractive, and more accessible to travelers. Warm-hearted locals can help point you in the right direction, share the city’s history, show you their favorite local delicacies and cafes, and even escort you to the nearest restroom when you are experiencing an "emergency."
Travel + Leisure, a one-stop online resource for travelers, has published a list of the 30 most congenial destinations in the world, selected by their readers. These cities are rated more by the friendliness of the locals than their famed landmarks and scenic beauty.
Read on to learn the top 10 friendliest cities in the world and what makes them so.
