Just because we’ve been stuck at home during the pandemic doesn’t mean we’re tired of being solo. In fact, more and more people are opting to travel alone instead of waiting for friends or family to join them. Studies show that a quarter of travelers want to hit the road, seas, or skies solo in the next six months, with Gen Z and millennials leading the way.

Traveling solo can be super satisfying because you’re in control of your own adventure. But, if you’re a solo traveler or just starting out, you might be wondering, “Where are the best places to go solo?

1. Sweden

Sweden is a great place to start your solo travel journey. Stockholm is super easy to navigate, whether you’re exploring on foot or by subway. The metro is a must-see, not just for its convenience but also for its architecture and art. Start your trip in Gamla Stan, the city center, where you’ll find charming cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and plenty of historical sights. From there, head out to the archipelago for some day trips. The archipelago is a group of islands located in the Stockholm area and offers excellent opportunities for hiking, swimming, and enjoying beautiful nature. Just a heads up, Sweden can be pretty expensive for solo travelers, so plan ahead, stay in an Airbnb, and hit up all the local bakeries for a truly unforgettable experience.
