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

Amsterdam

The Netherlands is an excellent destination for first-time solo female travelers, offering a combination of easy transportation, safety, and diverse activities. Nailah Hayward, founder of TheresSoMuchToSee.com, highlights that the country excels in these areas. "After visiting multiple times, both big cities and small towns, I always felt extremely safe," she says. Amsterdam, in particular, served as a great base for Hayward, thanks to its easy communication (as most people speak both English and Dutch), safe public transport, and a wide range of activities catering to all interests.

With an extensive train network, local trams, and bike lanes, getting around the Netherlands is straightforward and convenient. Hayward points out that the country offers something for everyone, whether you're into the arts, outdoor adventures, luxury experiences, cultural exploration, or culinary delights. "The Netherlands has a huge variety of activities to explore, making it a place I highly recommend for solo female travelers," she says. As a travel tip, Hayward advises avoiding carrying cash, as most transactions can be easily done electronically, saving you the hassle of frequent trips to the ATM.
