    Travel for Solo

    Solo travel has gone fully mainstream — roughly three in four Millennial and Gen Z travelers now plan trips on their own, and most are choosing longer stays over quick getaways. This archive covers safety-first destination picks, social hostels and group tours, and itineraries designed for travelers who set their own pace and answer to no one.

    • Taos

      Taos

      Taos has a 1,000-year-old pueblo, a ski valley that gets serious snow, and a high-desert art colony that attracted Georgia O’Keeffe for a reason.

    • St. John’s

      St. John’s

      St. John’s is North America’s oldest and easternmost city — colorful row houses on Signal Hill, icebergs in the harbor, and a friendliness that Newfoundland is famous for.

    • New Orleans

      New Orleans

      New Orleans runs on jazz, beignets, and a second-line parade energy that turns any Tuesday into an event. The French Quarter is just the opening act — the neighborhoods beyond are where the city lives.

    • Nashville

      Nashville

      Nashville outgrew country music — the honky-tonks on Broadway still blaze, but the hot chicken, craft cocktails, and Gulch neighborhood added a new dimension entirely.

    • Mykonos

      Mykonos

      Mykonos has windmills, whitewashed alleys designed to confuse pirates, and a Little Venice waterfront where the cocktails cost as much as the sunset is worth.

    • Montpellier

      Montpellier

      Montpellier is a French university city with one of the oldest medical schools in Europe, a tram-connected beach, and a Place de la Comédie that buzzes until late.

    • Mexico City

      Mexico City

      Mexico City has 21 million people, Frida Kahlo’s house, Aztec ruins under the Zócalo, and a taco scene so deep you could eat for a month without repeating a filling.

    • Manchester

      Manchester

      Manchester is where the Industrial Revolution started and the music scene (Oasis, Joy Division, The Smiths) never let up — a northern English city with more grit than London.

    • Lille

      Lille

      Lille is a French-Flemish crossroads with the Palais des Beaux-Arts, a massive flea market in September, and a food scene that borrows from both borders.

    • Kathmandu

      Kathmandu

      Kathmandu’s Durbar Square has temples stacked against each other in a valley where the Himalayas frame everything — the gateway to Everest and a city that hums with prayer wheels.

    • Johannesburg

      Johannesburg

      Johannesburg is South Africa’s economic engine with Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and a Maboneng arts district that channels the city’s reinvention energy.

    • Istanbul

      Istanbul

      Istanbul bridges two continents with the Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar’s 4,000 shops, and a kebab-and-tea culture that treats every meal like an event.

    • Hvar

      Hvar

      Hvar gets 2,700 hours of sun per year and the Croatian island knows it — lavender fields, a 13th-century fortress, and a party harbor that peaks in July.

    • Ibiza

      Ibiza

      Ibiza has the clubs, but also a UNESCO old town, hidden cove beaches, and a sunset at Café del Mar that earned its own musical genre. The island has layers.

    • Havana

      Havana

      Havana freezes 1959 in its architecture — classic American cars, crumbling colonial facades, salsa in the streets, and a mojito at La Bodeguita that tastes like history.

    • Cusco

      Cusco

      Cusco was the Inca Empire’s capital at 11,152 feet — colonial churches built on Inca stone walls, altitude that hits hard, and the gateway to Machu Picchu.

    • Chamonix

      Chamonix

      Chamonix sits at the base of Mont Blanc with the Aiguille du Midi cable car climbing 3,842 meters — a French Alps town built for people who like their mountains serious.

    • Cape Town

      Cape Town

      Cape Town puts Table Mountain, two oceans, wine country, and a penguin colony within an hour of city center — few places on Earth pack in this much variety.

    • Busan

      Busan

      Busan is Seoul’s beachy counterpart — Haeundae Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village’s painted houses, and a seafood market where the fish is measured in hours, not days.

    • Hotel Monteleone

      Hotel Monteleone

      Step into a world where history whispers from every corner and ghosts roam the halls. This grande dame of hotels boasts a rotating bar that’ll make your head spin—literally.

    • Bangkok

      Bangkok

      Bangkok runs on street food, temples, and controlled chaos — the Grand Palace and a $1 pad thai can happen in the same hour, and that’s the whole point.

    • Lima

      Lima

      Lima is Latin America’s culinary capital with three restaurants in the World’s 50 Best — the ceviche alone is worth the flight to Peru.
