A friendly greeting goes a long way in making any travel experience unforgettable, so for the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, we asked our readers to pick out European cities with populations they consider to be the cream of the friendly crop. This group of winners was one of the most competitive in our awards’ history, as all cities in the top ten were awarded a score of 90.00 or above. These are the friendliest cities in Europe, according to the 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards.
