Best Cities To Visit Alone
Traveling on your own can be invigorating. While roaming solo, your senses will thrill at unfamiliar sights, sounds, and tastes; interesting strangers will upend your preconceived notions; exciting adventures will lie at every turn.
However, you need to know the places to go to truly enjoy a trip alone. Here is a list of the best places to explore solo.
Best solo activities: After grabbing a bite at Franklin Barbecue, head over to Zilker Park. Later, check out the bats under the Congress Avenue Bridge before snagging a beer and some live music along 6th Street.
Best solo activities: If you’re looking to drop some dough, head to Grafton Street for your pick of everything from shoes to books. Later, take a literary tour and stop at a pub for a Guinness and some fish and chips.
Chicago
Best solo activities: Spend your morning in the Field Museum or the Art Institute of Chicago before digging into a slice of deep dish at one of the city’s many pizzerias. Later, rent a bike and cycle up to 18 miles along Chicago’s picturesque lakefront.
New Orleans
Best solo activities: Enjoy a beignet (and the subsequent sugar rush) from Café du Monde, and take a coffee to go as you wander the French Quarter.
