For Condé Nast Traveler’s 35th Annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey, the publication asked readers to rank the friendliest cities in the United States.
“Did an outgoing local go out of their way to give you directions? Was the city easy to navigate? Did you simply get good vibes from the people around you?” Condé Nast asked their readers – and the number one spot featured a city oozing with Southern hospitality!
According to the Annual Readers’ Choice Awards, Condé Nast readers chose Savannah, Georgia, as the friendliest city in America.
“Savannah made quite an impression on travelers this past year,” Condé Nast reveals of the top pick. “It’s hard to say what exactly makes the locals here so happy. It may be the city’s robust, unapologetically Southern food scene. It could also be the slew of independent bookstores and treasure-riddled antique shops. Or perhaps the gorgeous public parks are what keep the pep in people’s step. Whatever the reason, one thing’s for sure: This historic city in Georgia should definitely be on your list of places to visit in 2023 (and beyond).”
According to Condé Nast Traveler, these are the Top Ten US Friendliest Cities:
1. Savannah, Georgia
2. Charleston, South Carolina
3. Alexandria, Virginia
4. Honolulu, Hawaii
5. Santa Fe, New Mexico
6. Tucson, Arizona
7. Key West, Florida
8. Nashville, Tennessee
9. Chicago, Illinois
10. Cincinnati, Ohio
