10 Most Welcoming Cities in the World

By Balogun Kamilu Lekan

While travelling, it’s not always guaranteed that you’ll feel at home. Some tourist-heavy cities don’t want travellers swarming across their borders. Other cities, however, are more hostile to outsiders due to cultural differences. Booking.com, a reputable online travelling service, created a useful list of the world’s friendliest cities to visit in 2023 for tourists to get a source to consult before their vacation.

Below are the ten most welcoming cities in the world

Polignano a Mare, Italy

This is a town in the Metropolitan City of Bari (BA) in the Italian province of Apulia. Polignano, also referred to as “the Pearl of the Adriatic,” is the perfect location for diving into clean seas and exploring a charming medieval district by the water.

Hualien City, Taiwan

Hualien is ideal for middle-aged tourists like us because it offers a relaxed mountain town vibe. You’ll appreciate your time in Hualien if you’re attracted to nature in a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

San Sebastián, Spain

San Sebastian is most well-known for its Basque cuisine. Seeing emblematic buildings like the basilica of Saint Mary of Coro and the church of San Vicente is also worthwhile in San Sebastian.
