23 top destinations for solo female travelers

Traveling solo as a woman might sound a bit daunting but I promise you, it’s the best way not only to see the world, but to learn more about yourself and grow as a person by taking yourself out of your comfort zone. And, as a bonus, you will for sure make a lot of new friends along the way. I started solo traveling very early and consider myself a seasoned solo traveler. My first trip alone was at at the age of 17 to Hamburg, Germany, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Now don’t get me wrong, I still love traveling with family and friends and sharing the emotions and memories with people I love but there’s just something about doing it alone. The best things in my humble opinion are the freedom, independence and just getting to really enjoy your own company. After years of solo travel, I’ve finally put together this ultimate guide consisting of my top 23 travel destinations for solo female travellers worldwide that offer safety, culture, stunning scenery, and a guaranteed great time you’ll remember your whole life. By the end of this list, I hope you’ll be inspired to take the first step and book your next (or first) solo travel. So let’s do this! Female empowerment!

The Caribbean

Personally, I am a big fan of the Caribbean islands, so let’s start from here! The sunny islands offer amazing sunrises and sunsets, stunning ocean views, warm weather, friendly locals and turquoise waters.

Bahamas

Wh you should go: The Bahamas is one of the most quintessential Caribbean islands. The island offers crystal-clear waters, some of the most stunning white-sand beaches you’ll ever see, and super-friendly locals. The Bahamas is not as crowded as some of the other Caribbean islands (unless you happen to walk around in the Nassau city center when a cruise ship has just landed). Weather you’d like to have a relaxing day at the beach, go golfing, spend your day at the zoo or shopping at the local markets, take a boat trip to the smaller Bahamian islands or go snorkeling to explore the diverse marine life, the Bahamas has it all and is the perfect place for relaxation and adventure alike.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 4/5. The Bahamas is generally safe for solo travelers, especially in resort areas, though it’s best to avoid or stay extra aware of your surroundings in the less busy areas.
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: Snorkeling around Paradise Island (there’s lots of conch and puffer fish), exploring the colorful streets of Nassau, and swimming with the pigs in Exuma are some of the (very social media-friendly) highlights.
• Best time to go: Between December and April.
• Where to stay: If you’re traveling solo as a female, I’d recommend you making Nassau your base and taking day trips to the islands. If you can, get a hotel on the Paradise Island, as it’s separated from Nassau by a bridge that has 24/7 security and has a charge for drivers to cross it, making Paradise Island a super safe place to stay and way less crowded than Nassau. I stayed in the Warwick all-inclusive resort that offers amazing facilities, delicious food all-day long and is a 10-minute walk from the most beautiful beach on the Bahamas – Cabbage Beach.

Barbados

Why you should go: Barbados is an extremely dreamy place! Not only is it safe for solo female travellers, but also boasts the most welcoming friendly locals, vibrant culture and of course, Rihanna. Barbados also has stunning beaches lined with palm trees (very Instagram-friendly), delicious seafood, rich history and vibrant nightlife.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 4/5. Barbados is generally very safe, but avoid secluded beaches alone after dark.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Visit Bathsheba Beach, take a rum tasting and rum punch coctail-making tour at the Mount Gay distillery, watch the race horses swim in the sea at Pebble Beach, visit the Hunte’s Garden, join one of the many group tours for a food tasting in Bridgetown or explore the island’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital, Bridgetown. Also, if you’d like to splurge, don’t miss the Cliff restaurant. And lastly, as the island is so tiny, you can take a day tour that takes you through all the highlights (such as Rihanna’s childhood home, the rugged east side of the island and the Soup Bowl, and the very northern point of the island – Animal Flower Cave. 
• Best time to go: Between December and April.
• Where to stay: I’d recommend staying around/near Dover beach. This is where the Sands resort is located but there are also loads of affordable hotels around there. I stayed in the budget-friendly Time Out Hotel next to the Sands resort and a 1-minute walk from the beach.

Dominican Republic

Why should you go: If you’re looking for adventure in the Caribbean, look no further than the Dominican Republic. This Caribbean island offers culture, the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, history and adventure.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 3/5. Stick to known tourist areas like Punta Cana or Santo Domingo and avoid remote areas alone.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Go whale watching in Samaná, zipline through the jungle, visit the spider monkey sanctuary or explore the Colonial Zone in Santo Domingo for a historical experience.
• Best time to go: Between December and April.
• Where to stay: There are so many amazing resorts in the Punta Cana area. Most of the hotels are located in a gated community. I stayed in the Punta Cana Princess adults only all-inclusive resort, which offers a spa and five on-site restaurants included in the price.

Asia

Tokyo, Japan

Why should you go: Tokyo should be on the top of every solo female traveler’s bucket list! The capital of Japan is a mix of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology, with a reputation for safety, cleanliness, polite locals and a unique culture, it’s perfect for your next or first solo trip. Tokyo has so much to offer – your days are guaranteed to be packed to the brim with amazing food, culture, sightseeing, neon lights, and lots of walking.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 5/5. Tokyo is incredibly safe, even at night. There is no unwanted attention, you will feel safe everywhere and anytime. 
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: The worst thing about Tokyo is that there’s so much to do and see, and you will most likely want a return visit. Explore Asakusa’s Senso-ji Temple, Shibuya Crossing, and enjoy Tokyo’s street food scene.
• Best time to go: Between April and May when the Sakura season is in full gear.
• Where to stay: I have been to Tokyo a couple of times and stayed in different locations and hotels, but by far, my favourite experience is staying in the ladies-only Centurion Cabin and Spa hotel in Akasaka. Not only do you get to use the free on-site spa facilities, such as an onsen sauna and warm beads to relax your feet in after a long day of walking around Tokyo, but you’ll also meet loads of fellow female travellers there.

Bali, Indonesia

Why should you go: The island is located in Southeast Asia and is popular among solo travelers due to its welcoming community. While I do agree that Bali has become extremely mainstream and suffering from over-tourism, it’s still one of my favourite solo trips I have taken and thus, has earned its place on the list. Bali’s laid-back vibe, beaches, cute puppies, temples, mindfulness and yoga retreats offer both relaxation and self-discovery.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 4/5. Bali is generally safe, but avoid walking alone late at night in secluded areas and be wary of the monkeys.
• Travel budget: $
• Things to do: Visit Ubud’s Monkey Forest, see the traditional Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu temple, attend a yoga retreat, or relax at a beach resort. Get a driver (it’s very affordable) for a day and visit the mountainous north side of the island.
• Best time to go: Between September and November.
• Where to stay: I’d recommend you make Canggu your base, as it’s easy to get around everywhere from there and there’s lots to do in Canggu as well. I stayed at the Udara Bali wellness resort, which is one of my favourite places I’ve ever spent time in, for two weeks and spent the last week at the luxorious Renaissance Hotel in Uluwatu, which features an amazing infinity pool and gives you so much bang for the buck.

Shanghai, China

Why should you go: China might not be on the top of your list as a solo female traveler but let me tell you, Shanghai is an amazing place to visit! you’ll be met with lots of modern skyscrapers but also historical sites, giving you a unique urban experience. For solo travelers, it’s a safe and exciting destination.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 5/5. With a low crime rate, Shanghai is safe for solo travelers. You might be stopped for a quick photo every now and then but in the friendlies and nicest way possible.
• Travel budget: $
• Things to do: Stroll along The Bund, visit Yu Garden, and try local street food in the markets in the French Concession.
• Best time to go: Any time of the year.
• Where to stay: My top tip is to get a hotel on the Nanjing road, which is the main pedestrian street in Shanghai. It’s easy to get around and you’ll be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. I stayed at the Seventh Heaven Hotel right in the city center.

Hong Kong

Why should you go: I am biased, as Hong Kong is one of my favourite places ever! But let me tell you, the blend of modernity and tradition, with skyscrapers, street markets, and scenic hiking trails is something you don’t get to experience often. It’s a unique city for solo female travelers who love a mix of urban life and nature.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 4/5. Hong Kong is generally safe, but as always, be vigilant in crowded areas.
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: Ride the Star Ferry, hike Victoria Peak, and explore vibrant street markets like Temple Street Night Market.
• Best time to go: Between March and April or Otober and November.
• Where to stay: I’d recommend staying at the Hong Kong island side, as it’s a bit less crowded then the Kowloon side. I stayed at the unique and centrally located Butterfly Boutique Hotel on LKF.

Europe

Milan, Italy 

Why should you go: Milan is Italy’s fashion and finance capital, blending historical landmarks with modern design and luxury shopping. Milan is perfect for solo female travelers interested in fashion, food (all the pasta and pizza!!), culture, and architecture.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 4/5. Milan is generally safe for solo female travelers, particularly in central areas. However, it’s best to stay vigilant, especially in crowded spaces like train stations. Opt for well-lit and popular neighborhoods.

• Where to stay: For convenience and safety, stay in neighborhoods like Brera, Porta Nuova, or near the Duomo. I stayed at the Windsor Hotel Milano.

Lake Como, Italy

Why should you go: The surrounding little villages of Lake Como are the epitome of high-end Italy. I fully understand why George Clooney has made this stunning place his main base. Other than George Clooney, Lake Como is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, with mountains and luxurious lakeside villas. It’s only a short train ride away from Milan.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 5/5. Lake Como is considered very safe for solo female travelers, with a calm, peaceful atmosphere. The smaller towns around the lake are friendly, and many areas have frequent ferry services that connect towns, making navigation easy.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Explore charming lakeside towns like Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio by ferry. Take scenic hiking trails around the lake, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lake. Lido di Lenno is a popular beach for relaxation.
• Best time to go: The best time to visit Lake Como is in late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September), as the weather is pleasant and the area is less crowded than in peak summer.
• Where to stay: Menaggio is a tiny village and most of the hotels are located in the centrum, so you can’t go wrong. But I’d really recommend you check out the Grand Hotel Menaggio. It’s a breath-taking hotel with scenic views of lake Como and the mountains.

Stockholm, Sweden

Why should you go: Like the other Scandinavian counties, Stockholm is just so effortlessly cool! Known for its delicious cardamom buns, minimalistic design, scenic archipelago, good-looking locals and beautiful architecture, Stockholm is safe, clean, and full of Scandinavian charm.

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 5/5. Stockholm ranks high for safety, with a low crime rate.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Visit the Fotografiska Gallery, take a boat tour of the archipelago, enjoy some fika and explore Gamla Stan, the city’s old town.
• Best time to go: The best time to visit Stockholm is during the summer (between June and September).
• Where to stay: One of the best areas to stay in Stockholm is Kungsholmen. It’s very close to the city center and Vasastan (both are approximately a 15-minute walk away) but much less crowded. I stayed at the trendy Aiden by Best Western Stockholm City hotel.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Why should you go: If you’re looking for trendy fashion and design inspiration Copenhagen is the place to be. Copenhagen’s bike-friendly streets, effortless Sacndi street style, mouth-watering cuisine, nightlife, and architecture make it the perfect Scandi solo getaway.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 5/5. Copenhagen is very safe, with a low crime rate.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Visit the famous Nyhavn, Tivoli Gardens, and make sure to pop by the ultra-trendy bakeries to get a cardamom bun and coffee.
• Best time to go: The best time to explore Copenhagen is during the summer (between June and September). It can get windy and cold during the rest of the year.
• Where to stay: The best neighborhoods to stay in Copenhagen are Vesterbro and Fredriksberg. These areas are right next to each other and have a very natural Scandi feel to them. They’re also super close to the main train station and city center (10-minute walk). I’ve been to Copenhagen many times and stayed in different hotels ranging from higher end to more budget friendly. I would recommend staying in the Villa Copenhagen if you’re looking to splurge a bit (they have a super cool rooftop pool, an opulent bar and atrium downstairs and a lavish cafe), the unique sustainability-focused Carlton 66 Guldsmeden or in the futuristic CityHub Copenhagen pods if you’re on a budget.

Helsinki, Finland

Why should you go: Helsinki has a very laid-back vibe, maybe a little too laid back at times. If you’re after a social solo trip, maybe skip this one, as mingling with locals can be challenging. But if you’re looking for a peaceful solo getaway, the capital of Finland will stun you with it’s design, architecture, and beautiful natural landscapes.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 5/5. Helsinki has a low crime rate and is very solo-friendly.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Get on a ferry to explore Suomenlinna Fortress, shop in the Design District, get lost in the Temppeliaukio church, and visit the famous Helsinki Cathedral.
• Best time to go: It’s best to visit Helsinki during the summer months (June-September), or in December for the cozy Christmas market, but be prepared for the cold temperatures.
• Where to stay: One of my favorite hotels to stay in Helsinki are the swanky Hotel F6 and Hotel U14 by the Autograph Collection. They’re both on the higher end but extremely trendy, instagrammable and located in the city center.

Tallinn, Estonia

Why should you go: The rarely talked about hidden gem of Europe, Tallinn, is just a 2-hour ferry ride from Helsinki. It’s medieval charm and innovative tech scene create a unique atmosphere. Visiting Tallinn will take you back in time and into the future at the same time. As a bonus, it’s a budget-friendly destination for solo travelers.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 5/5. Tallinn is very safe, especially in the Old Town area.
• Travel budget: $
• Things to do: Walk around the UNESCO-listed Old Town, have lunch and drinks at the food market in the Telliskivi area, and take a stroll on the Pirita promenade by the sea.
• Best time to go: The best time to visit Tallinn is during the summer months (June-August) when the weather is warm and sunny, or in December to explore their world-renowned Christmas Market.
• Where to stay: The best area to stay in Tallinn is the Old Town. You will get to stay in the nicest hotels for a fraction of the price it would cost in other major cities in Europe. I stayed in Telegraaf Hotel (they have a breathtaking spa and a Michelin-star restaurant) and Hestia Hotel Barons. These two hotels are both in Old Town, just a 2-minute walk away from each other, so I’d recommend splitting your stay between them to maximise the experience.

Paris, France

Why should you go: I strongly believe you don’t even need a good reason to go to Paris because “Paris is always a good idea”, it is indeed the city of fashion, food, wine, art, architecture, and history. Wondering the streets of Paris, listening to podcasts is therapy in itself. And the best thing about it is that there’s so many free things to see and do that you’ll easily have an adventure of a lifetime on a low budget.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 3/5. Paris is relatively safe, if you stay in the city center, but I’d still advise not to go for an evening walk in the dark alone. Also, watch out for pickpockets in the metro and tourist areas.
• Travel budget: $$ to $$$
• Things to do: Of course, visit the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre. Paris is very walkable, so make sure to go for a long walk down the Seine and up to the Luxembourg Gardens (Jardin du Luxembourg).
• Best time to go: All year round.
• Where to stay: If you’re visiting Paris for the first time, the best areas to stay in Paris are 1st Arrondissement or 7th Arrondissement. My favorite hotel to stay in Paris the Hotel Villa Saxe Eiffel. Pro tip: ask for a room with the Eiffel Tower view when you book.

Lisbon, Portugal

Why should you go: Lisbon is the hot spot for digital nomads for its affordable cost, good weather, and delicious food. As a digital nomad capital of Europe, you’ll effortlessly meet new people from around the world there. Looking at the tiled colourful houses while walking around Lisbon will add an extra spring to your step.

Top tips:

• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Explore Alfama’s winding streets, visit the Sao Jorge Castle for the ancient ruins and scenic views over the city, and ride the famous Tram 28. And the most important thing: take one of the many pastel de nata cooking classes. And if you have time, take a day trip to Sintra.
• Best time to go: The best months to visit Lisbon are May to September.
• Where to stay: The best areas to stay in Lisbon are Avenida da Liberdade and Baixa. I stayed at the Lisboa Carmo Hotel.

London, UK

Why should you go: The home to iconic landmarks like the Big Ben, Westminster Palace, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park. Like Paris, London is always a great option for a solo travel destination. Each neighbourhood in London feels like a new city with a completely different and unique vibe.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 3/5. A few years ago, the rating would have been higher as London is a relatively safe place, especially in central areas. However, it’s seen a surge in phone snapping straight from people’s hands on the street over the past few years. So, stay alert at all times.
• Travel budget: $$ to $$$
• Things to do: Visit the British Museum and Tate Modern, tour the Tower of London, and explore vibrant food markets like Camden, Spitalfields, and Borough.
• Best time to go: All year round, but London is an especially magical place during winter months for its elaborate Christmas decorations.
• Where to stay: The best areas to stay in London are Soho, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Holborn, Covent Garden and Nottinghill. I am absolutely in love with the Hoxton Hotels and there’s an awesome one in Holborn.

Zürich, Switzerland

Why should you go: Zürich is a sophisticated city with beautiful lake views, cute colourful houses in the Old Town and Niederdorf, and an extremely efficient public transport system. PS, the tap water in Switzerland is worth an honourable mention – you won’t get water this tasty from a tap anywhere else in the world!

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 5/5. With an incredibly low crime rate, Zürich is one of the best places in Europe for female travelers seeking peace of mind.
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: Walk along the Bahnhofstrasse to the Old Town, take a boat ride on Lake Zürich, go for a fondue dinner, and visit the famous Confiserie Sprüngli. Take a day trip on the Bernina Express – I guarantee it will be one of your most life-changing experiences. The Bernina Express offers one of the most scenic train journeys in the world, from Chur to Tirano, Italy. The route through the Swiss Alps offers unparalleled views of mountains, glaciers, and lakes.
• Best time to go: Take advantage of the Swiss Travel Pass for discounted travel and museum access.
• Where to stay: The best areas for solo female travelers in Zürich are the Old Town and Niederdorf. I really enjoyed the Townhouse Boutique Hotel close to the main train station. They have a cozy cafe downstairs where you can work from.

Lugano, Switzerland

Why should you go: In the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, Lugano combines Swiss beauty with a Mediterranean flair. With palm trees, lakes, and mountains, it’s ideal for scenic and laid-back relaxation. It’s very close to the Italian boarder and you can hop on a bus or a train for a quick walk around Lake Como and be back by dinner.

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 5/5. Lugano has a very low crime rate, and as a solo traveler, you’ll feel safe exploring both day and night.
• Travel budget: $$
• Things to do: Enjoy lakeside strolls, and explore nearby mountain trails.
• Best time to go: The best time to visit Lugano is during the fall months when the weather is nice and mild.
• Where to stay: For the best views of the morning sun rising behind the mountains you’ll want to stay close to the city center but higher up on the mountain. The upscale option, with amazing views over the city and mountains, would be Villa Sassa Hotel and the more budget-friendly option, with equally awesome scenic panorama is the Hotel Pestalozzi Lugano.

North America

New York City, USA

Why should you go: New York, New York! The unofficial capital of the world, offers an endless array of cultural and historic sites, mind-blowing food experiences, iconic landmarks, and diverse neighborhoods for solo exploration. You’ll definitely need at least a week to get a good sense of this city!

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 4/5. NYC is generally safe, especially in Manhattan, though always stay aware in crowded areas.
• Travel budget: $$ to $$$
• Things to do: Walk through Central Park, visit the MET, and don’t miss the Gossip Girl moment on the stairs, and take a ferry to Staten Island for a close view of the Statue of Liberty. Make sure to explore neighborhoods like Chelsea, Greenwich Village and SoHo.
• Best time to go: All year round but I’d specifically recommend you visit NYC during winter months at least once to see the city lit up in Christmas decorations.
• Where to stay: The safest area in NYC to stay in as a solo female traveler is Manhattan – SoHo, Chelsea, West Village, Upper East Side and Upper West Side are some of the best parts of Manhattan. There’s so many options for different budgets but for inspiration, I’ve stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton in Times Square, which is so amazingly centrally located that you can basically walk everywhere, and the Sheraton Hotel in Tribeca, which is close to Brooklyn Bridge and SoHo.

Los Angeles, USA

Why should you go: If you’re looking to unleash the green-juice-drinking pilates girlie in yourself, it’s best to do it in LA. The vibes are immaculate! You will definitely feel like the main character in a movie during your time in LA, visiting the famous beaches, iconic neighbourhoods, attractions like Hollywood and Santa Monica Pier and brushing shoulders with celebrities. 

Top tips:

• Female travel safety: 3/5. LA is safe, but it’s best to stick to well-known areas and avoid walking alone late at night. And I’d recommend you avoid the Downtown LA area.
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: Explore the Getty Center, hike to the Hollywood sign, walk around Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, get a (expensive) smoothie from Erewhon, go celebrity spotting in West Holliwood and visit Venice Beach.
• Best time to go: The best time to visit LA is between June and September when it’s nice and toasty.
• Where to stay: LA is huge and getting around takes time, as the traffic is pretty bad and it’s the least walkable city. So, I’d recommend you break your stay between hotels in different areas. I stayed in the infamous and iconic (if you’ve ever played GTA, you will recognize it) Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. PS, the hotel is said to be haunted by Marilyn Monroe. And in the Venice on the Beach Hotel that is right on the strip and directly by the sea.

San Francisco, USA

• Why should you go: San Francisco is such a vibrant city and there’s always so much to do as a solo traveler. It’s known for its tech scene, the Alcatraz prison island, the windy Lombard Street and scenic spots like the Golden Gate Bridge and Twin Peaks. 

Top tips:

• Where to stay: Union Square, North Beach, and Fisherman’s Wharf are great areas to stay in San Francisco. A great place to stay is the Riu Plaza in Fisherman’s Wharf. It’s located in a safe area near the bay and from a walkable distance from the main attractions.

Africa

Zanzibar, Tanzania

Why should you go: Zanzibar – the spice island – is famous for its pristine sandy beaches, clear blue waters, warm weather all year round, friendly locals, and spice markets. The culture in Zanzibar has a unique blend of strong Arabic, Indian, African and European influences. You’ll get to experience the hustle and bustle of the bazaars in Stonetown and relax on the stunning calm beaches.

• Things to do: Explore Stone Town, go on a spice tour, or relax on the sandy beaches.
• Best time to go: The best months to visit Zanzibar are November and December. 
• Where to stay: Zanzibar has accommodations for all budgets, from luxury resorts to more affordable guesthouses. But some of the coolest hotels I stayed in Zanzibar were the Dhow Palace Hotel right by the sea in Stonetown, mainly for the aesthetics as the rooms and whole building is extremely photogenic, and TOA all-inclusive hotel in Pongwe, which, again, is a stunning hotel with a private beach and gorgeous pools.

Middle East

Dubai, UAE

Why should you go: Dubai is a modern city where tradition meets luxury, offering everything from bustling souks to record-breaking skyscrapers. Dubai is known for its high safety standards, so it’s a top destination for solo female travelers. The only downside is that it can be on the more expensive end of the spectrum. And for perfume lovers, like myself, it’s a dream come true!

Top tips:

• Solo female travel safety: 5/5. Dubai has a very low crime rate, and its public areas are well-secured, making it safe for solo women travelers
• Travel budget: $$$
• Things to do: Visit the Burj Khalifa, shop at the Dubai Mall, and explore the desert on a safari tour.
