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

Svalbard, Norway

Norway offers incredible natural beauty, from its stunning fjords and wildlife to scenic railways and outdoor adventures, not to mention the chance to witness the northern lights. One destination you shouldn't miss, according to travel blogger Jurga Rubinovaite, is Svalbard, a remote archipelago just a few hundred miles from the North Pole. "It's one of the most unique nature destinations in the world," she says, noting that despite its Arctic location, Svalbard is easy to visit and a safe spot for solo female travelers.

The main town of Longyearbyen serves as the hub for various activities, from summer hikes and boat tours to winter excursions like ice cave exploration and snowmobiling. Rubinovaite emphasizes the importance of booking guided tours due to the presence of polar bears, ensuring safety during your adventures. Longyearbyen itself is a lively and secure town, with accommodations, restaurants, shops, and museums all within walking distance. For solo female travelers, Rubinovaite suggests doing thorough research, opting for hotels over private accommodations, and seeking guided tours or a travel companion when heading to more remote areas.
