The friendliest cities in the World have been ranked and there’s an Irish one on the list

Sure aren't we a sound bunch of people...

Sure aren’t we a sound bunch of people…

Us Irish folk are known for our warm welcome and hospitality so in other words, we’re dead on and up for the craic. Our mammies always told us that “self praise is no praise” but it’s not just us who are banging on about how sound we are, the readers of RoughGuides.com also think it.

The website ran a poll to find out what the friendliest city in the world is by getting readers to vote and Dublin came up second on the list just behind our friends over in Glasgow. We’d imagine it was a very close run thing.

Here’s a run down to the top 10:

1. Glasgow
2. Dublin
3. Montreal
4. Liverpool
5. Tokyo
6. Vancouver
7. Copenhagen
8. Dubai
9. Manchester
10. Melbourne

Considering people from every county in Ireland make up the population of Dublin, we reckon we should all take credit here. And remember, it’s nice to be nice.
