The World's Friendliest Destination Still Resides in Mexico

Following the latest honor, the city in eastern Guanajuato has now topped the list of the world's friendliest destinations for three consecutive years. It's a place where visitors feel at home as they walk through its picturesque cobbled streets and colonial architecture.

The city also offers restaurants with an excellent gastronomic offer prepared, in many cases, with organic products grown in the area and accompanied by the region's beloved wines, cheeses and olive oil. In addition, the town houses excellent art galleries, museums, craft shops, and boutique hotels with high-quality amenities and services for visitors.

This year's list highlights a dozen destinations in all, including cities in Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America. Elsewhere in Mexico, Mexico City also made the list, coming in at number five.

This year's Readers' Choice Awards also recognized San Miguel de Allende as the Best Small City in the World.
