1. Glasgow. Score: 97.00
Glasgow successfully defends its 2024 title to once again be crowned the UK’s friendliest city, with a convincing win, beating second-placed Manchester by almost four points. As Scotland’s most populated city, this city represents the crème de la crème of the nation’s heartfelt hospitality, so expect to encounter generous people wherever you go. Aside from being sociable, Glaswegians also have a reputation for knowing how to party. Think of cool cocktail bars, historic boozers, and, the cherry on top, legendary music venues, which have given rise to Glasgow's UNESCO City of Music status. Art lovers are also spoilt for choice by the thousands of masterpieces housed across extravagant galleries, or for something more spontaneous, follow the colourful trail of street murals littered across the centre. With so much to offer, we challenge you to resist the irresistible Glaswegian charm.
