It can be intimidating to travel alone. Traveling by yourself can bring up a lot of concerns, whether you’re going to a city in your own country or somewhere else in the world. Some of these concerns include the awkwardness of dining by yourself to more serious safety concerns, especially for women. However, traveling alone can be one of the most liberating and rewarding experiences, allowing you to immerse yourself in the community and discover moments of cross-cultural connection naturally, despite any nervousness or uncertainty.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the world’s best solo travel destinations:

Singapore

A  great location for female solo travelers. This financial, technological, and innovation hub was once a modest British East India Company trading post 200 years ago.

Arriving at Singapore’s airport, which is at the southernmost point of Malaysia, feels like you’ve been transported fifty years into the future!

This highly developed nation takes pride in its multiracial diversity, which earned it the position of #6 among the safest countries in the World Economic Forum’s “Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report.”

Singapore offers luxuries that few other large cities can match. You could stare at its sparkling skyline for hours.

 It is also one of the safe places for women to travel alone. When you need a break, there are a lot of grand buildings and luxury shops to enjoy.

 Barcelona, Spain

As long as you have a map, you won’t have any trouble finding your way around Barcelona, which is a very walkable city. Along Las Ramblas, you can shop for souvenirs, stroll down the beach boardwalk, and explore Park Güell, which was designed by Gaudi. While you’re there, you can take in the gardens and get your own private views of the city.

Additionally, the dining options are suitable for solo travel. Take your paella outside at one of the many waterfront restaurants, where people-watching is built-in entertainment, or choose a counter seat at a tapas bar instead of sitting alone in a dining room.

 Taiwan

Taiwan is just a short flight across the South China Sea from Singapore. This is a superb objective for solo female explorers. Taiwan is one of Asia’s undiscovered beach destinations—an island surrounded by turquoise waters and a charcoal coastline. There is a capital city in Taipei that blends American, Chinese, and Japanese cultures. Additionally, it is a thriving financial, technological, and innovation hub. There is so much to see if you are a gadget enthusiast.

 Switzerland

Switzerland is an excellent destination for female solo travelers. From the moment you arrive, you will fall in love with its chic cities and stunning landscape. The World Economic Forum’s “Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report” places it fourth among the safest nations. If you like chocolate, history, and nature (sorry! ), Switzerland has a lot to offer for entertainment. Some of the world’s best ski resorts are located in regions with breathtaking Alpine scenery. However, Switzerland’s landscape, which is dotted with lakes, villages, and peaks, is a must-explore during the warmer summer months if you’re looking for an adventure closer to the ground.

 Portugal

Portugal’s sun-kissed shores and cobblestoned streets are the final destinations on our European leg.

It is the best solo trip destination to see cities with a long history and spend lazy afternoons on the Portuguese coast’s golden sands. The Douro Valley in the north, where you can truly experience wine country, is a delight for wine lovers. While the Algarve and Albufeira are great places to go for a beach, sun, and package vacation, I’ve chosen to concentrate on the country’s two largest cities: Porto, in the north, and Lisbon, the capital, in the south.
