9 Best Places to Travel Alone: Where Safety & Adventure Abound
Norway
It’s not a budget destination, but Norway ticks all the boxes when it comes to where to travel solo. Safe, peaceful and crammed with colorful fishing villages and some of the most beautiful views in the world, there is a lot to satiate the solo traveler’s appetite.
It’s probably not the first place you think of when someone mentions cruises either, but Norway’s jagged, fierce coastline sets the scene for a trip on a boat from north to south. If you’re happier on land, trek high into the fjords and look down at the sea from there.
The Netherlands
A laid-back bike culture and plenty of liberal and progressive social policies make the Netherlands one of the best places to travel solo. The Dutch are not only the tallest people in the world, but some of the friendliest and most accepting.
It’s easy to feel at home in the Netherlands; it must be something to do with the adorable canals and picture-book windmills. They feel vaguely familiar, but new and exciting at the same time.
Amsterdam is every bit as pretty as you imagine it to be, and you could while away days getting lost in the tiny streets.
From beautiful national parks to tours of your favorite TV show locations, there are so many exciting things to do in New Mexico.
Iceland
Iceland seems like it was custom-made for solo travelers. With a population of just over 300,000, there is a neighborly, small town feel everywhere you go.
Crime is practically non-existent and it seems like everyone speaks English. Tourism is a big industry, so there are plenty of tours you can join to go see all the natural wonders, or you can easily rent a car and bob around by yourself.
The Golden Circle is a well-laid-out route, making it easy to check off some of the major highlights. All considered, for such an exciting and invigorating place, Iceland is incredibly calm, peaceful and easy to travel alone.
