Before you undertake a solo trip, you have to research well about the safest places to travel alone and know everything that is there about it. You need to choose a place where the systems are in place and one where crime rates are at an all-time low. This will take some time and effort, but you have got to trust us when we say that it’s going to be worth it, eventually.

Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵

Kyoto, in Japan, is considered to be one of the safest cities for solo travelers. This is not surprising because Japan finds a place consistently in the list that speaks about the top safest countries in the world. Kyoto, especially, is a very warm city, as the locals are always ready to help the tourists. Though they don’t speak much of English, they are quite eager to help you with the help of sign language, head-nodding and other forms of non-verbal communication.

While you are in Kyoto, don’t forget to visit the famous Buddhist temple constructed in 1408, Kinkakuji Temple. Try the authentic sushi dishes at the restaurants nearby to get a feel of authentic Japanese cuisine.

Finland 🇫🇮

Finland is one of those few countries that exude positive vibes to its residents and tourists. It is not surprising that Finland is considered one of the safest places for solo travelers. There are close to 3 million saunas in Finland, which means solo travelers will not face any hassles while arranging their accommodation in the country.

So, you will not find any problems in navigating your way through, Ireland.

Germany 🇩🇪

Gone are the days when the USA and the UK were the preferred higher studies destination for students. Today, Germany has become a hot favorite among students across the globe. This is because Germany is one of the safest places to travel alone (students, in this case).

The city of Berlin, especially, is known for its museums, galleries, and archaeological remnants of an ancient, rich civilization. At the same time, there is no dearth for clubs & cafes in Germany. While your days would be enterprising, your nights would be lively, when you come here. There are close to 20000 castles in Germany that you can explore to your heart’s content when you are a solo traveler.

Denmark 🇩🇰

If you are looking for a country that has a little bit of everything for traveling alone, Denmark is the right choice for you. Visit the cities of Copenhagen and Nyhavn to experience the amusement parks, castles, fountains, and wildlife parks that are found here in plenty. Don’t forget to visit the highly popular, Kronborg Castle, when you visit Denmark. This was the castle that inspired Shakespeare to describe the Elsinore Castle in his play, Hamlet. These places would have given you the confidence that you can complete your solo trip successfully, without any inhibition or worry. As long as you are doing the right thing and are polite with people you meet, you are absolutely safe in these places, even if you are on your own.
