There are many practical considerations when travelling: budget, distance and the length of time you have to play with. We spend days, weeks even, planning trips – from relaxing weekend getaways to those once-in-a-lifetime, perspective-shifting long-haul holidays - going through lists, double-checking details and ensuring everyone joining is catered for. So when we arrive at our destination, we deserve a warm welcome – and there are a plethora of cities across the globe that are ready to lavish it on you in abundance. We called on all of you to rank the friendliest cities in the world as part of our 2022 Readers' Choice Awards. Here are the top 10 in the world, as voted for by you.
