Many travelers say that the best way to see the world is definitely to travel alone. What are the beneficiaries of that? There are multiple of them like you will have your own route and experience will not affect the view one another, you can focus on getting acquainted with the country and at the same time, nobody will reproach you. And what is the most charming reason? It’s that you are in charge on your time- you can get up late and slowly discover the city or just visa versa. Where to go if you’re going to spend your vacation in splendid isolation?
Switzerland
According to many seasoned travelers, there is no country in the world which is more positive, safe and independent for travel than Switzerland. And, without leaving it, you will get the impression as if you visited several countries: the Business style of Zurich and Lucerne will remind you of old Germany, the bustling capital city of Geneva and Lausanne of the Olympic Games -France, picturesque Locarno – about Italy. Specially designed tours will allow you to travel to Switzerland on foot, on bicycles, on the trains and much more.
Austria
Travelling to Austria is simply a pleasure: it’s convenient, comfortable and safe. No one would have to discuss whether to go today to listen to the music of Mozart, to walk through the parks, to see the palaces, to take a cruise on the Danube, or to taste local wines in any of the wineries. Large cities and tiny villages are united by various types of railway network, so you can easily reach every corner of this country. Isn’t this fantastic?
Sweden
A quiet peaceful life of Swedish province will help you to have a measured vacation for the lovers of solitude and loneliness. Vacation for a week while traveling on trains and buses, cycling or skiing, breathing pure oxygen (Sweden is not leaving the upper lines rankings of countries with the good air), living in tiny cottages on the shores of clear lakes, enjoying the northern nature. Bored in the village? Spend a few days in the magically beautiful Stockholm: ride a boat, go to a list of top museums, get shopping: in the Swedish capital there are many curious designer boutiques over there.
Germany
If you are thinking to spend time in Germany, before you will appear almost an impossible task – to choose where to go. In this largest European country there are so many opportunities for rest that you get all confused what to choose: whether to go into a conservative burgher Bavaria or to a modern multinational metropolis of Berlin, Cologne to see a Gothic or meet directly with several medieval castles in the Rhine valley. Using the local perfectly punctual urban and intercity transport is so simple that with this case that it is available even to the person who does not know foreign languages and has never been abroad.
Netherlands
To come to Amsterdam alone and to get lost among its narrow streets and canals – is this not the dream of any traveler? But necessarily highlight a few days outing in the country, hire a bike and ride the dunes along the ocean coast – a journey tiring and safe. Caught in the Netherlands in the spring season, do not forget to plan a visit to huge spring Flower Park called Keukenhof.
Tunisia
Certainly, European countries are safer, but that is not reason to rest only within the EU. On the other continents there are many countries where foreigners can feel confident. Due to its unique location in North Africa on the Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia became a popular holiday destination for the tourists from Britain, Italy, France and Russia. Keeping the local color in the mosque, noisy bazaars, cafes, where the smoke slowly takes huge rings,it became one of the most progressive countries of the Muslim world. In this former French colony Art Nouveau style in the building, the language of the colonialists and even the tradition of winemaking. This means that you will be able to have a French-African-Arabic experience and all of this in a single trip.
Egypt
Egyptians believed to be very friendly people and almost the most hospitable in the Middle East. Moreover, this state is characterized by respect for one’s own culture and history and political stability, so Egypt is a beautiful country for single travelers. Of course, not everyone likes the chaos of Cairo, but you can always choose to stop at the pyramids of Luxor, a cruise on the Nile or on holiday on the coast of Dahab, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh.
Vietnam
It seems that recently the country has been tormented by a terrible war, but today it is as friendly and hospitable hostess which will be happy to welcome visitors from all over the world. Borrow a bike and it will make a tour of villages and dense forests along the coast, or spend a week on the beaches of Phu Quoc Island, visit the temples and pagodas of the spiritual center of the country – Hue and not forget to drop to the beautiful capital – Hanoi.
Laos
Laos – now a cult destination for single travelers. Like Vietnam, this war-torn country has now become a peaceful haven for the weary tourism civilization. However, in contrast to Vietnam, they were lucky enough to be able to save their original culture, and pristine nature. It is one of the cleanest places in the South-East Asia. We recommend you take a trip to the Mekong River, relax in an interesting place – the capital of Vientiane and visit the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang – the most important Buddhist center of the country, and even better – to live in a real village and feel like a local resident. All of this is possible and safe.
Costa Rica
Those who visited Costa Rica once, necessarily come back, because during a single trip you can not go rafting on the river Reventazon, go to horseback riding, see the volcanoes and geysers of the national park near the Rincon de la Vieja volcano, or just lie on the list of Pacific Ocean beaches. And doing all of this alone is absolutely secure. Incidentally, this is one of the few peaceful states, where there are no armed forces.
Take Egypt off.
It’s a horrible place to visit. Only thing is the pyramids, but Alexandria and Caïro are pretty much smogged up open sewers. Besides that, do not visit if there is no man with you.
I went with a friend(2 females) and no man can keep his hands at home, police will laugh and grab some boob or butt too, they don’t help. Properly dressed makes no difference.
Only way you can go there alone is if you are a male.
Tunis is safer, but a woman better not go there alone.
I am an Egyptian living abroad and feel really sorry to read the above. Not that it’s untrue, but most probably for the bad publicity & perception that a bunch of lunatics can promote. I can understand the disadvantages, but there are always the tips that would help you manage around.
