Do you not want to wait for friends and family members with your travels? Ready to do it alone? I get it!
I am a big fan of solo trips.
And as a female traveler who often travels solo, I choose destinations with interesting attractions, rich culture and great food when planning my journeys.
But safety is also always in mind. The reality of the world in which we live is that it must be!
Women are statistically more sensitive to intimidation, theft and abuse while traveling than male travelers.
Fortunately a new report from IVISA has unveiled the five safest destinations for solo -feminine travelers. And the great news is that they are all great places to visit!
Here is the Top 5 list:
5. Iceland
Iceland scores very much for solo -feminine travelers because women report that they feel safe and respected in public areas.
It has a high safety assessment thanks to the high rank on the gender gap index and the Global Peace index and the overall accessibility.
Besides how safe you feel, there is so much to see and do in Iceland.
This is a good time to visit if you want to see the Northern Lights, and swimming in the blue lagoon is a bucket list activity that is worth visiting.
The Blue Lagune is a geothermal spa in a lavasteld of 5 km from 5 km from Grindavík, in the southwest of Iceland. The smoothing warm water is rich in minerals, silica and algae that are great for your skin.
4. Finland
Finland has a long -term reputation and both being safe and hospitable for solo female travelers.
It is regularly at the top of the graph because it is the world’s happiest country, and it is also high on the gender gap index.
If you visit Finland, go to the north where you can visit the Lapland region (which is amazingly beautiful and has so much more to offer than just the chance to see Santa Claus), Spot the Northern Lights and relax in traditional saunas while snow The ground lies.
Finland has more than 180,000 lakes that are just as beautiful in the summer months as in winter, and now it is the perfect time to visit in the woods and mountains.
Go to Helsinki to experience the urban culture of Finland. This is a beautiful port city that has an incredibly high concentration of the museums and cultural hubs of the country.
3. Canada
The only North American country that makes this top 5 list is Canada. And the good news is because Canada is so close to the US that it is a great place to start when you are new at Solo Female Travel.
Although it is a cosmopolitan place with many large cities to explore. Canada has relatively low crime. It is also a friendly and accessible city with a high score for steps taken to protect women in the country.
You can choose Canada for a city break and to explore the mountainous landscape and beautiful animals in the wild. So there is something for every solo -feminine traveler here.
But even if you plant a city break, try some time to get closer to nature here: Canada is considered one of the world’s most picturesque countries, so you will regret that you don’t have some of its breathtaking landscapes seen.
Go to Banff National Park, the oldest national park in Canada. Here you see huge icy blue lakes, alpine meadows and mountains covered with snow.
If you are worried about just the wilderness, you can book a tour that is suitable for solo -feminine travelers. Tourradar Has some great options.
2. Ireland
Ireland has a well -deserved reputation as a warm and hospitable destination.
Just like Canada, most people in Ireland are speaking English, making it an incredibly easy place to navigate as a first female traveler. Ireland is high for the steps it takes to protect women, as well as for its accessibility.
But it is worthwhile to point out that pickpocket is increasingly common, especially in the busier cities. So keep an eye on your assets and be aware of your environment.
Ireland has a well -developed public transport system, making it relatively simple and a lively pub culture relatively easy. There is nowhere better to relax than with a fireplace with a pint or two.
Make sure you explore the countryside to enjoy the landscapes and seascapes that Ireland are best known for.
The Connemara National Park is particularly beautiful and offers a unique landscape that you simply cannot find anywhere else.
1. Switzerland
Officially the safest country to visit as a solo -feminine traveler is Switzerland.
Switzerland has one of the lowest crime percentages in the world.
A breathtakingly beautiful country, Switzerland also has the remarkably reassuring statistics that only 2% of women reported to experience violence of men.
If safety is your primary care, then there is really nowhere better to be.
I love Switzerland because of the excellent trains, which offer an incredible view and in itself a tourist attraction, as well as for chocolate and cheese.
If you want to try the very best fondue that Switzerland has to offer, visit FRAU GROLDS GARTEN In Zurich, where the cheese fondue and the selection of dipping sandwiches are exceptional.
