The Best Places to Travel Alone
Ever Considered Traveling Alone?
The thought of flying solo on your next trip can be really frightening. Not only are you (temporarily) leaving behind everything you hold dear, but you’re heading to unfamiliar territory as well.
But "those who fly solo sometimes have the strongest wings" as the saying goes. Traveling alone is a truly unique and beautiful experience that is absolutely worth the effort. Whether you’re looking to “find yourself,” explore new lands, or accomplish a very specific goal, traveling alone can help you fulfill that process. Check out our top 5 recommendations for best places to travel alone.
1. Rome, Italy
Full of beautiful people, delicious food, and inspiring sights, Rome is a classic first time destination for solo travelers. The vibrant city culture empowers its visitors to feel adventurous, if only to walk through the magnificent neighborhoods, each worthy of its own post card photo.
At the same time, the rich history of Rome has a mysterious way of making this contemporary place feel almost sacred. There are countless historical gems you can visit, a few of the most common being:
- The Pantheon
- The Roman Coliseum
- Vatican City
- Saint Peter’s Basilica
2. Melbourne, Australia
Widely considered the cultural hub of the “land down under,” Melbourne is a dazzling city full of gorgeous gardens, galleries, museums, parks, and theaters. Moreover, it’s a great point from which explorers can check out other amazing sites throughout the country.
A huge draw of Melbourne is that it’s an extremely safe place for travelers who are going at it alone. Women can feel completely comfortable walking around by themselves at night, and the friendly attitude of native Australians means you’ll never truly be lost, unless you want to be.

There’s plenty of room for adventurous activities, including whitewater rafting, kayaking, and hiking active volcanoes. And everything is pretty darn cheap.
4. Cuba
