    If you are looking to visit one of the friendliest countries in Europe, look no further than these ten destinations.

    Travelling around Europe can give you a broader perspective on the variety of nations and cultural habits that fit nicely into this corner of the world.

    You can drive for a couple of hours from one country to the next and instantly be met with a new language, new cuisines and even a new currency. However, have you ever thought about which countries offer the friendliest atmosphere?

    So, if you are curious about which ten friendliest countries in Europe are ready to welcome you with open arms, then read on.

    10. Finland – a kind and friendly nation

    Santa’s Village is located in Lapland, Finland, so this is a huge sign that this is a happy place to visit.

    Finnish people are known to be shy, quiet people, but they have hearts of gold. They also love nothing more than having a good time.

    9. Italy – a country with a lot to offer

    Italy welcomes millions of visitors every year, and while some areas may be excessively crowded during the high season, you will always be greeted with a smile and a chat.

    Italians are lucky enough to have some of the best food, wine and nature in Europe, so we can understand why they want to share that with everyone.

    8. Spain – a top country to visit

    Spain is one of the friendliest countries in Europe for a host of reasons. They are open and sociable people, they live in a country with a great climate, and they have delicious cuisine, which keeps them smiling.

    This is a very welcoming country for both people and their pets and is a top spot to visit all year round.

    7. The Netherlands – the laid-back vibes

    Dutch people are one of the most laid-back nations in Europe and will go the extra mile to welcome you as a visitor, which makes them one of the friendliest countries in Europe.

    We are not sure if we have the special coffee shops to thank for this. Either way, it’s a great place to be welcomed.

    6. Sweden – a charming nation

    Swedes are known to be polite, friendly and down to earth, and once you get to know them, you’ve got a friend for life.

    Given that they are surrounded by lakes, forests and a long coastline, as well as getting to experience both the midnight sun and aurora borealis (northern lights), it is no wonder that the Swedes are such a proud and charming nation.

    5. Denmark – not just eco-friendly

    Not only is Denmark the most climate-friendly country in the world, but the people are just as friendly, and you will notice this as soon as you arrive.

    The capital, Copenhagen, is consistently rated as one of the most livable cities in Europe. It is full of fantastic eateries and bikes galore.

    4. Turkey – incredibly hospitable

    Turkey is a transcontinental country, partly in Europe and partly in Asia, which is why we added this to our list.

    Turkey is well known for its incredible hospitality, the genuine nature of the people and its delicious cheap food.

    A visit to Turkey can be a trip of a lifetime, especially if you meet locals and are invited into their homes – an experience to remember.

    3. Greece – loud and proud

    Greeks are a very proud nation in all the best ways possible. They have open hearts and are ultra-welcoming, with a lot to offer anyone who visits their country, especially local foods and delicacies, which they happily share with you.

    As well as being a friendly country, the locals are always upbeat, happy and very sociable. This makes it a great place to make new friends.

    2. Portugal – a welcoming bunch

    Portugal is a small nation with a big heart. The coastline there is one of the most beautiful in Europe.

    Portuguese people are friendly, welcoming and willing to go out of their way to help visitors. This combination makes it one of the friendliest countries in Europe.
