There’s no denying that Europe’s most famed and visited spots became so for good reason. Venice, Paris, Barcelona and London all laud over some of the continent’s best attractions, cuisine and culture. Sadly, this can often lead us to overlook some of the more underrated cities in Europe. Instead, we return to old favourites or plump for a crowd-stamped pleaser.

With travel well and truly back in our lives, there’s no better time to book a solo trip. I spent my twenties living out of a suitcase, calling many cities and countries home for a time. Whether I was renting an apartment in the heart of Berlin during October or spending a week learning how to make macarons in Paris, I’ve certainly learned first hand which cities and countries are the best for solo travelers. So here we have the best places to travel solo in 2023 across the globe.
