Dublin has been named the eighth friendliest city in the world according to the Condé Nast Traveler.
The annual survey asks readers to vote in the Readers' Choice Awards with hundreds of thousands taking part this year.
Irish cities made the top ten list three times making us the most friendly country in the world!
Here's what readers had to say about Dublin:
Notably friendly residents give Midwesterners a run for their money, and you never get shoved aside on a busy street; it's par for the course to slow down to a stroll through St. Stephen's Green, or linger over a meal at one of the city's buzzy new restaurants.
Nearly every street has (at least) one pub filled with both locals and tourists, coming together to celebrate life—and that welcoming vibe lasts even after a couple pints. In short: "Great people, lots of activities, terrific nightlife. What's not to love?"
Cork ranked the highest of all Irish cities in third place:
As with most cities on the Emerald Isle, Cork is bursting with cozy pubs and beer gardens, where you can "enjoy the outdoors while sharing a table with friendly locals."
Galway came fifth:
The town itself is so charming, you might find yourself sticking close to the cobblestoned streets and ancient architecture for at least a day or two. Readers were particularly struck by the locals, who "instantly make you feel welcomed."
