Solo travelling is often touted as risky especially for women looking to cherish the independence of adventuring. But it doesn’t have to be, if you pick the right destination for your getaway. Here are some of the top places women can visit by themselves, without having to constantly look over their shoulder.
Iceland
This small Nordic island is one of the safest places in the world, where adventures are plentiful and getting around isn’t a chore. Cities like Reykjavik have an easy going music scene and nightlife where the locals are welcoming and wherever you go, stunning natural beauty calls out for exploration.
Dubai
Amidst Dubai’s glam and extravagance, its streets are safe for women travelling solo, where crime rates remain low and transportation is efficient. But whether you’re staying at luxury hotels or serviced hotel apartments in Dubai, including the likes of Damac Maison Aykon City, remember to dress modestly when going out, in respect of the local culture.
Switzerland
While the bigger cities in Switzerland see occasional petty theft and pickpocketing, this land of incredible beauty is still one of the safer places to visit. It’s perfect if you’re looking to reconnect with nature – stunning mountain views, meadows filled with wildflowers and river backdrops make you feel like you’re within a fairytale.
Japan
Featuring female-only train cabins and hotel floors, cities like Tokyo will give you peace of mind despite their busy streets. So whether you’re enjoying authentic cuisine, hunting for the latest manga or simply taking in the neon lights and city sounds, you’ll feel quite safe during your adventures.
