City Breaks For Solo Travellers 2025/2026

The best city breaks for one person

From the history and museums of Budapest, to the great food, art and culture of Italy, with so many to choose from, finding a city break that is perfect when travelling alone can be tough. So here are our best city breaks for one person to help you:

Paris, France

In a city full of museums, shops and cafes, the solo traveller is very welcome. From enjoy a relaxing summer stroll in Le Jardín du Luxembourg, to sipping a coffee while people watching at Place d'Italie, there are plenty of things to do and see on a solo city break in Paris.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Rated as one of the safest cities in Europe, Copenhagen provides a little of everything, making a solo trip here ideal. In the summer, meandering through the streets and sampling its cafe culture is a wonderful experience, while in winter, the Christmas markets light up the cobbles and provide the festive cheer to get you excited about all things Christmas.

Cadiz, Spain

You might not have even heard of Cadiz, but it's a lovely little seaside city, with gorgeous sandy beaches, an beautiful Old Town, and is actually one of the oldest cities in Western Europe. The nearest direct flights from the UK are into Seville airport, about 2 hours away, and makes for a great alternative to the likes of Seville, often with far fewer tourists.

Iceland

Did you know that in 2023, Iceland was ranked the top country in the Global Peace Index, an indication of the safeest places in the world? Reykjavik and Iceland has long been a favourite for adventurous holidays, heading up to see the infamous northern lights, taking a dip in the luscious Blue Lagoon, or discovering one of the many stunning waterfalls. An organised trip can also be perfect if you want a bit of extra security, safe in the knowledge that you're being led by someone who knows the island.
