Top 10 most friendly European

Own nationality popular

British, Swiss and French on the bottom of the list
While the Austrians are the most friendly, the Swiss are less popular. Swiss are at the bottom of the list of most friendly European inhabitants. The European tourists are also not impressed by the friendliness of the inhabitants of England and France.

The Dutch are quite friendly
The Dutch are doing quite well; they end up on the 6^th place with a percentage of over 9%. Despite the sometimes wild image as a tourist and their stubbornness, the Dutch easily adjust and generally speak several languages. The Dutch think they are with 15 percent nearly as friendly as the Austrians (16%). A shared third place is reserved for the Greek and German (both 11%).
