There's a certain magic to solo travel. Exploring a new country or favourite city when you're free to do exactly what you want when you want is one of the best ways to see the world – whether you're fresh out of school or travelling in your retirement. But it can be a daunting prospect, especially if it's your first time going it alone.

To give you a helping hand planning your solo trip, we've pulled together various guides and round-ups that will help you pick a destination that feels safe, as well as easy to navigate. If you're still unsure about branching out alone, there are plenty of tours you can join where you'll journey with other like-minded travellers. Getaways can be anything from a coach tour around South Africa to a walking holiday in Northern Spain or even climbing glaciers in Iceland. Read on for more inspiration. |
