Not only that, but Glasgow was voted miles ahead of Edinburgh, who only managed to come 40th in the list.
The survey was compiled from the travel firm's 1.5million social media audience, which discovered what cities across the world are most welcoming for tourists and expats alike.

Big 7 Travel's website says: "The word 'friendly' might not instantly come to mind when you think of some of the busiest cities in Europe, but with all those people comes a lot of good.
"We asked our social audience of 1.5 million people 'where you would find the friendliest cities in Europe?'
"From how easy the city is to navigate or strangers helping you find your way when that pesky roaming data doesn’t work to making new best friends in a local bar, these are the cities across the continent where you’ll be made to feel the most welcome."
Here's a look at the top 10 cities:
10th. Oslo, Norway
9th. Seville, Spain
8th. Athens, Greece
7th. Bratislava, Slovakia
6th. Gothenburg, Sweden
5th. Glasgow, Scotland
4th. Dublin, Ireland
3rd. Hamburg, Germany
