Travel Solo, Have a Blast! 15 Must-Visit Destinations for Women Exploring on Their Own

Dublin

Ireland is a fantastic destination for a solo getaway, offering everything from rolling green hills to fairytale castles and, of course, Irish coffee. Kelie Fiala, an experienced traveler and founder of Vacations Planned, ranks Ireland as one of her top solo travel spots. "The country is full of peaceful locations where you can take in stunning views, but it also offers plenty of chances to meet friendly locals in cafes and other attractions," she says, highlighting the welcoming atmosphere for solo travelers.

Dublin, in particular, stands out for its vibrant pub and restaurant scene. Fiala loves that the city's pubs are especially welcoming for women traveling alone, with live music and lively conversations often starting up effortlessly. She advises solo travelers, especially women, to be mindful of their alcohol consumption and trust their instincts if they ever feel uncomfortable. However, she also encourages women to engage with locals, as you might hear fascinating stories or even make a new friend along the way.
