3 Great Cities Where You Can Find a New Bestfriend

Dublin, Ireland. 

Dublin is known for its friendly residents who balance the recent surge in multinational companies and expats who have settled within its borders. Lively pubs and bustling restaurants line the streets, and with a massive influx of tourists every year, Dublin is welcoming by nature. Many public spaces are geared towards interaction, such as the ever-pleasant St. Stephen’s Green.

Galway, Ireland. 

Among the many treasures of Galway are its location, public spaces and residents. Located on the country’s west coast, Galway is idyllically positioned close to the Aran Islands and the Connemara region. Its cobbled streets lead to wonderful, antique architecture, such as the Spanish Arch, and that of the Claddagh. Enjoy the sights, sounds and friendly crowds. 

Queenstown, New Zealand. 

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Queenstown made our list, given it is the world’s adventure tourism capital. New Zealanders are known to be inherently friendly, and that is nowhere on better display than Queenstown. There’s just an ease and warmth to conversations, a distinct cheer to the restaurants and lakefront bars. Couple this with the thrills of surfing and paragliding, and you have a city that is definitely worth the visit.
