Greenville Named #1 Friendliest City by Condé Nast Traveler

Ashley Cousins • February 10, 2022

Greenville, SC was named #1 Friendliest City (for the second year in a row) by Condé Nast Traveler in an article published on February 9th, 2022.


Condé Nast Traveler readers were asked to rate a city’s “friendliness” during their travels based on a variety of factors include ease of navigation, attitude of locals, and just general good vibes. It comes as no surprise to us that Greenville is literally #1 on travelers’ minds.


Though they aren’t sure what about Greenville makes it so friendly and happy, Condé Nast Traveler guessed it had something to do with our vibrant farm-to-table restaurant scene, our lively art scene, or our love for incorporating nature into our city with Falls Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail. There’s a million reasons to love Greenville, and the world knows it!

Read the full story and discover the other 9 cities earning the “Friendliest City” accolade, including our close neighbor Charleston, SC at Condé Nast Traveler.
