The Most Friendly and Unfriendly Cities

If someone asked you if you want to live and work in a friendly place or an unfriendly place, what would your answer be? If you’re like most people, you’d say you’d like to live in a friendly place. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by friendly people?

Vintage World MapWe recently ran across an interesting list of the most friendly and unfriendly cities in the US and in the World. The following lists were originally compiled readers of Conde Nast Traveler.

Conde Nast Traveler is a travel focused magazine and many of the cities were considered friendly or unfriendly by travelers. This makes the list relatively subjective, but interesting at the same time – especially if you are thinking about relocating.

The cities in these lists were chosen based on factors such as location, politics, language barriers, and other factors. The cities are listed below, but please visit Conde Nast Traveler to learn more about each location. Let’s take a look at the friendliest and unfriendliest cities in the US and in the World:
