Sydney was ranked top the previous year but still managed to win the approval of 128,000 travellers polled in a survey.
- Sydney was deemed a hard city to beat with good-natured Aussies impressing visitors to the city.
- “Every time we stopped to stare at our map to get our bearings an Aussie would stop and offer to help us,” one reader commented.
- Another said: “Such friendly people, so much so that after we met an Australian woman on our flight there, she offered to pick us up at our hotel and spent a whole day showing us her favourite parts of the city.”
- Another offered the ultimate compliment: “I would live there if possible.”
- Sydney is world’s second friendliest city
- Sydney ranked ahead of Queenstown, New Zealand, that came in at number four on the list, a place highly valued for its natural beauty and ability to make visitors feel at home.
- The annual survey asks travellers to rank a city’s friendliness in terms of where they felt most welcome, if a city was easy to navigate, or if an outgoing local showed you the way.
