What are the world’s friendliest/unfriendliest cities?

Australians and New Zealanders tend to get annoyed when their accents get mistaken for one another, but there’s one thing they do share.

Both countries can lay claim to hosting the world’s friendliest city, with Melbourne and Auckland jointly taking top honors in a new survey.

Another southern hemisphere destination — South Africa’s Johannesburg — didn’t fare quite as well, being named as the most unfriendly.

Conde Nast Traveler magazine’s annual Readers’ Choice Survey says it was “no surprise readers adore Melbourne,” calling it Australia’s “capital of cool.”

Aucklanders were praised by readers for their “humor” and a view on life that’s “something to aspire to attain.”

Australia scored a friendly city double, with Sydney also making the top 10 alongside a global scattering that includes Cambodia’s “awe-inspiring” temple gateway Siem Reap and “vibrant” Dublin.

The United States fielded two cities onto the friendly list, with Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, each winning praise.
