YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Travel The 10 safest destinations for solo travel in 2019 By You Magazine - May 2, 2019 Travelling alone can be overwhelming – especially if it’s your first time. In fact, every aspect of it is a completely different experience than what it’s like when accompanied by someone else. From dining at restaurants or trying new activities, to the actual flying part – doing it solo changes everything. However, that’s not to say it won’t be amazing. Getty Images Those who embark on solo travel adventures often describe the experience as incredibly liberating and invaluable, and while it certainly can be all of those things and more, one thing you need to consider even more when travelling on your own is safety. Is your dream destination a safe place to be by yourself? To make your planning a lot easier, travel website wegoplaces.me has complied a list of the safest places in the world for solo travellers. Their list was conducted by analysing each country’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office and crime rates, as well as data showing how peaceful or hostile the country is in order to rank them fairly. According to their results, these are the top 10 safest destinations for solo travellers to visit… 1 Singapore Getty Images Singapore is not only the safest place for solo travellers but is considered one of the safest countries in the world. ‘All the best attractions are located within a single city,’ states the wegoplaces website. ‘There are various amazing places to visit, from the cosmopolitan Marina Bay to the exotic Gardens by the Bay. There is even a Universal Studios for anyone looking for a fun day out.’ 2 Norway Getty Images Norway comes in at second place thanks to its reputation of having next to no crime rates. ‘Norwegians are very progressive and forward thinking,’ the report reads. ‘The country is remarkably welcoming to tourists and the number of people speaking fluent English speaks is nothing short of incredible.’ 3 Iceland Getty Images Anyone who has visited Iceland knows that it isn’t the cheapest place to visit. However, it certainly is one of the safest according to this list. Soak up some me time at the breathtaking lagoons and black lava fields in Reykjavik, just make sure you save enough money for it. 4 Finland Getty Images ‘Finland and its people are very laid back. Visiting during the summer is a great idea as the weather is much improved. You will see people enjoying a coffee or beer in the various outdoor bars and cafes throughout major cities like Helsinki,’ reads the report. ‘They’re very tourist friendly too, with most speaking good English. Locals are happy to help any solo travellers with directions or just to have a pleasant chat.’ 5 Uzbekistan Getty Images When it comes to safety, Uzbekistan ticks all the boxes according to wegoplaces.me. ‘If you want a more unique travel destination, be sure to consider this central Asian country,’ they write. ‘Here you can find a destination with a fascinating and rich history that most are unfamiliar with.’ 6 Hong Kong Getty Images Despite it being one of the busiest cities in the world, Hong Kong is among the safest places to be. Immerse yourself into the luxury lifestyle of rooftops, five star hotels and endless skyscrapers with a visit to this bustling Chinese city. 7 Switzerland Getty Images If you love outdoor adventures then Switzerland is the place for you. Here, you can ‘explore lakes, villages and high peaks of the Alps. Not to mention, cities with medieval quarters, ski resorts and hiking trails.’ Oh, and of course the safety levels are high thanks to ‘good transport links’ and ‘violent crime being very rare.’ 8 Canada Getty Image Everyone knows that Canadians have a reputation for being the nicest people, so you can make a guess as to why Canada is among the safest places for solo travellers. In fact, chances are you might even make some new friends while you’re there. 9 Indonesia Getty Images Known for its beaches, volcanoes, Komodo dragons and jungles with tigers, elephants and orangutan, ‘Indonesia offers solo travellers an exotic adventure with a sprawling archipelago nation of islands to explore,’ reads the report. The country is one of the safest in its region and the world. 10 Denmark Getty Images It’s pretty clear by now that Scandinavia is the safest place in the world according to this list. As well as Norway and Finland, Denmark is yet another incredible destination for solo travellers to enjoy – particularly the country’s capital Copenhagen which is home to the famous Nyhavn harbour, Tivoli theme park and endless dining and nightlife experiences. ‘Denmark is very safe destination in both urban and rural areas,’ states the report. ‘The likelihood of travellers facing serious threat is unlikely.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Hotel review Wyndham Residences Costa Adeje National Trust is giving away free tickets this autumn Hotel review Una St Ives Cornwall DON' T MISS Fiona Bruce Sometimes I struggle not to cry November 14, 2021 17 beautiful 2021 diaries to help you to look forward to December 4, 2020 Why women leave men for women What’ s fuelling the rise of April 28, 2019 Hollywood veteran Laura Linney on plastic surgery friendship and her stellar July 3, 2017 You can shop the khaki jumpsuit from Holly Willoughby’ s new M& S July 17, 2019 The secrets and lies behind this happy family photo April 11, 2021 It’ s cocktail hour Olly Smith’ s cocktail recipes and Eleanor Maidment s canapé November 14, 2021 BBC One has revealed its Christmas TV schedule and there’ s lots December 2, 2020 YOU Beauty Box August Reviews August 1, 2017 Rome has been named the cheapest major city to visit in August 7, 2019 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
