One of the reasons our readers love to rate the friendliest cities in the U.S. in our Readers’ Choice Awards survey is because it's part of the fun of traveling—the connections you make, the locals who give you a glimpse into a place's culture and lifestyle. For our 32nd annual Readers’ Choice Awards survey—yes, more than three decades—a record 600,000 registered voters weighed in. The impressive number of 2019 results were especially exciting for us: we’re ever curious about where you go, what you loved, and who you went with. As you continue to travel, we continue to listen. Here are the 10 cities you voted the friendliest across the United States.
