Ηoliday search engine, Holidu.co.uk, has put together a brand new ‘Post-Pandemic Solo Female Travel Index’, ranking the safest cities around the world based on several factors including street safety and crime levels, as well as the attitudes, culture and cost of being a solo traveller in each destination.
Women’s solo travel is one of the biggest trends to have emerged over the last decade, with more and more women taking the plunge and deciding to explore the world alone. And why would they not? Travelling alone can be amazingly liberating.
But the world is a very different place from how it was pre-pandemic and things have changed in more ways than one.
That’s why the holiday search engine, Holidu.co.uk, has put together a brand new 'Post-Pandemic Solo Female Travel Index', ranking the safest cities around the world based on several factors including street safety and crime levels, as well as the attitudes, culture and cost of being a solo traveller in each destination. The index also explores the handling of Covid-19 in the country each respective city is located, and how much the levels of crime have increased over the last three years.
The Top Ten Safest Cities For Post-Pandemic Solo Female Travel
- Montreal, Canada
- Colombo, Sri Lanka
- Ljubljana, Slovenia
- Ottawa, Canada
- Edmonton, Canada
- Vienna, Austria
- Linz, Austria
- Łódź, Poland
- Calgary, Canada
- Zagreb, Croatia
And it's a pretty eclectic mix right?! One that spans right across the world!
Some other interesting findings from the data are:
- Singapore achieved the highest percentage of women feeling safe when walking alone after dark, with a staggering 88% of women saying that they do.
- Chicago is the most 'lit-up' city at night, scoring a radiance level of over 90,000 and shining well above the average level of 23,920. Well-lit streets are a lot safer for women when walking on their own.
- Vilnius has the lowest increase of crime over the last three years, with a score of 31.41% compared to the average of 59.7%.
- Agra is home to the cheapest one-bedroom apartments and offers solo travellers prices as low as £2.34 a night, which is super handy for anyone wanting to see the Taj Mahal!
