Safety is a big issue while traveling, especially for a single woman. A netizen recently asked, “What are good, safe solo-traveler places for single women?”.
The Original Poster (OP) adds, “I’m planning a trip to Copenhagen, but have also been to Montreal and Singapore since they were said to be super safe. Any other places you can suggest?”.
Below are the top responses:
TAIWAN
“Taiwan ranks up there among the safest countries for solo travel for women.”
SPAIN
“I’m going to Amsterdam next year on my own, and I’m a 34-year-old female! Having also been to Spain, France, and Italy this year, I’d say Spain was the safest I felt out of the 3.”
ICELAND
“I took my first solo trip in October. Iceland was phenomenal, and I never once had the heebie jeebie feeling as a solo female traveler.”
JAPAN
“Japan is my favorite country for safety. It’s not 100% safe but about as good as it gets. I hear South Korea is also up there. I lived in Japan with my wife for 18 months when we were young. She never once felt unsafe.”
REYKJAVIK
“I spent our days in Reykjavik alone, and it was truly the most lovely vacation I have ever had. Go in the summer when it’s warm (still cool) and the days last for a long time.”
SWITZERLAND
“Switzerland for sure,” said one.
“Seconded! I’m surprised it is so low in these comments, but maybe it’s because of how much it costs?” another added.
LONDON AND EDINBURGH
“London, Edinburgh, and anywhere in Ireland or Wales are safe destinations for women, especially if you speak English. The social cues are similar, and people are generally polite and friendly.”
PORTUGAL
“We just returned from Portugal, and I felt safe there. I would have no issues with my daughter (26) traveling there by herself.”
MUNICH
“I felt safe in Munich, Germany. It gets sketchy near the train station (and that’s where my cheap hotel was), but I was just fine.”
BELIZE
“Belize. Tons of solo women traveling here.”
CHINA
“I found China to be extremely safe. People were super friendly and nice, too.”
TOKYO, HONG KONG, AND SEOUL
“Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul for me; I always feel safer in big bustling cities where there are many people around at all hours.”
RIGA
“Riga in Latvia is lovely, and the people are so friendly.”
COPENHAGEN
“Copenhagen is awesome and super safe. I think you would enjoy it, and if you go during summer, their harbor pools are fantastic!”
BALI
“I felt super safe in Bali!”
