Budapest voted one of ‘World’s Friendliest Cities 2019’

The word ‘friendly’ might not instantly come to mind when you think of some of the busiest cities in the world, but with all those people comes a lot of good. Big 7 Travel asked their social audience of 1.5 million people “where you would find the friendliest city in the world?”

From how easy the city is to navigate or strangers helping you find your way when that pesky roaming data doesn’t work to making new best friends in a local bar, these are the cities across the globe where you’ll be made to feel the made welcome.

Asian cities rated highly overall, with several US and Canada cities also making it into the Top 10. As for the most friendly city? You’ll just have to read on…

What is thrilling for us is that Budapest came in 31st. 

“A beautiful city full of history and charm, the people in Budapest are also what makes it stand out as one of the must-visit cities in Europe. Locals have a great sense of humour and you’ll be greeted warmly wherever you go.”
