Where is the best place to travel to on a solo trip?

The beauty of travelling solo is that you can holiday exactly how you want. So any destination could be a great one for a solo trip, if it’s one you’re interested in. Even famously romantic getaway spots like Venice or Paris have so many hidden spots that you can explore at your own pace, and away from the couples’ crowds.

However, if you’re looking for ideas for where to go as a solo traveller, we’d suggest a smaller city break. Copenhagen is filled with culture, exceptional cuisine (from its high end restaurants to its bakeries and casual eating spots) and beautiful sights, including fascinating historical sites that are perfect for solo exploration. And as it’s a fairly small capital, it’s a breeze to get around by yourself. Lisbon is another European capital that makes a great choice for solo travel, as it’s easy to navigate and has both plenty going on and a welcoming atmosphere. Exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures of Europe on a solo holiday allows you to experience everything from vibrant cities to stunning natural scenery, making each trip unique.

For something completely different, how about a revitalising spa break in Bali? It’s a completely transformative experience, whether you decide to be adventurous and go out exploring, or choose to stay amid the comfort of your resort.
