Ever get that itch? That quiet (or maybe not-so-quiet) voice in your head telling you to just… go? To pack a bag, book a flight, and have an adventure that is one hundred percent, completely, and thrillingly yours?
Travelling solo doesn’t mean you’ll be isolated. In fact, wandering with your own pace, making your own schedule and trusting your instincts can open doors to connection, calm and character building.
You want adventure, but you also want to feel secure. From the bustle of big-cities to the hush of hidden nature, here are 15 spots in the USA that stand out when you’re doing a solo adventure.
15 Best Places in the USA for Solo Female Travelers
The United States is a vast, beautiful, and wonderfully diverse country, which can make picking a spot feel a tad overwhelming. So, let’s narrow it down.
New York City, New York
Boston, Massachusetts
Washington, D.C.
Savannah, Georgia
Charleston, South Carolina
Asheville, North Carolina
Nashville, Tennessee
Austin, Texas
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Sedona, Arizona
Moab, Utah
Portland, Oregon
Seattle, Washington
Chicago, Illinois
San Diego, California
New York City, New York
New York City is, in my opinion, the ultimate destination for a solo trip. The “city that never sleeps” is ironically one of the best places to be an introvert, if you choose. You can be blissfully anonymous in a crowd of millions, dining at a Michelin-starred counter, sitting alone in a Broadway theater, or wandering Central Park without anyone batting an eye. It’s totally normal to be doing things by yourself here, because everyone is on their own mission. The city is a whirlwind of energy, art, culture, and food, and you get to write your very own “Sex and the City” (or “Broad City”) narrative, one subway ride at a time.
For safety, the key is neighborhood awareness. Stick to well-lit, populated areas, especially at night, and you’ll find the city is far less intimidating than its reputation suggests. The sheer number of people around actually creates a sense of public safety. The grid system makes it hard to get truly lost, and the subway (while… an experience) can get you almost anywhere. It’s one of the best solo vacations for females usa because it forces you to be resourceful, present, and bold – and rewards you for it.
Things to do:
- Walk the High Line, an elevated park on a former railway.
- Get a “rush” ticket for a Broadway show (or book in advance for your must-see).
- Spend a full afternoon getting lost in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
- Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge (go early to beat the crowds) and explore the DUMBO waterfront.
- Take the free Staten Island Ferry for stunning views of the Statue of Liberty and the skyline.
Where to stay: Look for well-reviewed hotels in Midtown (for easy access to theaters and Times Square), the West Village (for charm and great food), or the Upper West Side (for a more residential feel near Central Park).
Boston, Massachusetts
If NYC’s intensity sounds like too much, Boston is its charming, history-packed, and incredibly walkable cousin. This is one of the easiest cities to navigate on your own. I spent a long weekend here and didn’t use a single rideshare; I just walked and used the “T” (their subway). You can trace the entire story of the American Revolution on the Freedom Trail, get lost in the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill (Acorn Street is a must-see!), and eat your weight in cannolis in the North End.
Boston feels incredibly safe and manageable. It’s a city of neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. Because it’s such a huge college town, there’s a youthful, intellectual energy, and you’ll find plenty of cozy coffee shops and bookstores perfect for a solo afternoon. It’s a fantastic first-time solo trip, blending history with modern fun.
Things to do:
- Walk the entire 2.5-mile Freedom Trail, which takes you by 16 historic sites.
- Have a picnic in the Boston Public Garden (and say hi to the Swan Boats).
- Explore the stunning Boston Public Library (the Bates Hall room is breathtaking).
- Wander through Harvard University’s campus in nearby Cambridge.
- Eat at the bar at one of the legendary oyster houses in the North End or Seaport.
Where to stay: Back Bay is central, safe, and beautiful, with easy access to shopping and the Public Garden. Beacon Hill is impossibly charming if you can find a boutique hotel or rental in your budget.
Washington, D.C.
Our nation’s capital is, hands-down, one of the cheap places to travel solo in US, thanks to one magic word: free. Almost all of the major museums – the entire Smithsonian complex (Natural History, American History, Air and Space, the National Gallery of Art… I could go on) – are completely free to enter. You can spend days hopping from one world-class exhibit to another without spending a dime. And that’s not even counting the monuments and memorials, which are especially powerful to see at night.
DC is built for walking, with wide avenues and a clean, efficient Metro system. It’s a very professional city, so like NYC, seeing people dining or exploring alone is common. I love the feeling of intellectual curiosity that permeates the air. Beyond the Mall, neighborhoods like Georgetown (for the charm) and Dupont Circle (for the great food) are fantastic for solo exploration.
Things to do:
- Pick 3-4 Smithsonian museums that genuinely interest you- don’t try to do them all.
- Rent a bike and circle the Tidal Basin, visiting the Jefferson, FDR, and MLK Jr. memorials.
- See the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument at sunrise or after dark.
- Explore the quirky, vibrant neighborhoods of U Street or Adams Morgan for great food.
- Wander the historic, cobblestone streets of Georgetown.
Where to stay: Dupont Circle is a great central base with tons of restaurants and a safe vibe. Penn Quarter/Chinatown is also very central and walkable to the National Mall and many museums.
Savannah, Georgia
Ready to slow way, way down? Welcome to Savannah. Dripping with Spanish moss, gothic charm, and Southern hospitality, this city feels like walking through a novel. The entire Historic District is laid out in a grid of 22 scenic squares, each one a mini-park filled with fountains, benches, and oak trees. This design makes it an absolute dream for the solo wanderer. You can just pick a direction and stroll, discovering hidden gardens, stunning antebellum architecture, and quirky boutiques.
Savannah has a “to-go cup” policy, so you can grab a cocktail and wander the squares, which makes for a very relaxed evening. The city has a spooky side (hello, ghost tours) but also a serious artsy streak, thanks to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The food scene is incredible, from traditional Southern fare to high-end, inventive cuisine. It’s one of the best solo trips for females who want to relax, recharge, and be utterly charmed.
Things to do:
- Join a guided ghost tour- it’s a fun, non-awkward way to be out at night and learn history.
- Take a self-guided walking tour of the historic squares, ending in Forsyth Park.
- Visit the stunning Bonaventure Cemetery (featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil).
- Shop the boutiques and galleries along Broughton Street and in the City Market.
- Eat, eat, eat. Try The Grey for a splurge, or Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room for a classic family-style Southern meal.
Where to stay: Stay right in the Historic Landmark District. A well-located hotel or B&B means you can walk everywhere and safely return to your room at any time.
Charleston, South Carolina
Similar to Savannah but with its own distinct, slightly more polished vibe, Charleston is another Southern belle perfect for a solo trip. It’s a city that loves food, so if your idea of a good time is a culinary adventure, book your ticket. From fresh seafood and oysters to low-country staples and inventive farm-to-table restaurants, it’s a foodie paradise. And eating at the bar is a solo traveler’s best friend, often leading to great chats with bartenders and other diners.
Beyond the food, Charleston is steeped in history, with beautifully preserved architecture and a waterfront that begs to be explored. You can walk the colorful houses of Rainbow Row, stroll the Battery, and browse the high-end boutiques on King Street. The people are famously friendly, and the city itself feels compact, safe, and sophisticated.
Things to do:
- Take a “power hour” to see the iconic Rainbow Row and the Battery.
- Join a culinary tour to sample the best of the city’s food scene.
- Shop your way down King Street (it’s divided into fashion, design, and antique districts).
- Visit the historic Charleston City Market.
- Take a ferry to Fort Sumter to see where the Civil War began.
Where to stay: The French Quarter and the Historic District are prime locations. They are more expensive but worth it for the safety and convenience of being able to walk to everything.
Asheville, North Carolina
If your soul is torn between the mountains and a quirky, artistic city, Asheville is your answer. Nestled in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, this is a haven for creatives, foodies, and outdoor lovers. The downtown area is compact, funky, and filled with independent bookstores, craft breweries (it’s a huge beer city), and amazing restaurants. The vibe is laid-bac, friendly, and a little bit weird, in the best possible way.
Asheville is one of the best places for solo female travelers because it offers a perfect balance. You can spend the morning on a stunning hike in the mountains, the afternoon browsing art galleries downtown, and the evening enjoying live music at a brewery. It’s a very safe-feeling town, and the people are welcoming. It’s a great place to recharge your creative and spiritual batteries.
Things to do:
- Drive a portion of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway.
- Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate- it’s expensive, but an architectural marvel.
- Explore the River Arts District, home to hundreds of artist studios in converted warehouses.
- Go on a self-guided brewery crawl downtown.
- Hike one of the many nearby trails (check AllTrails for popular, well-trafficked routes).
Where to stay: A downtown hotel is your best bet for walkability to restaurants and shops. For a more unique experience, look for a cozy B&B in the surrounding historic neighborhoods.
Nashville, Tennessee
Even if you’re not a country music fanatic, Nashville is a ridiculously fun time. Music City has an energy that is absolutely contagious. Yes, “Honky Tonk Row” (Lower Broadway) is wild and full of bachelorette parties, but it’s also a blast to pop into the bars, listen to insanely talented live bands (with no cover charge!), and just soak up the vibe. But there’s so much more to Nashville than Broadway. Neighborhoods like The Gulch, 12 South, and East Nashville are packed with amazing food, chic boutiques, and great coffee.
As a solo traveler, the city is surprisingly easy. You can strike up a conversation with anyone. Southern hospitality is real here. Of course, be smart on Broadway at night – it’s crowded and the drinks are strong. But during the day, it’s a fantastic city to explore, with a rich history, a booming food scene (hot chicken, anyone?), and music everywhere.
Things to do:
- Visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (it’s impressive even if you’re not a fan).
- Explore the 12 South neighborhood for shopping (Reese Witherspoon’s Draper James is here) and the “I Believe in Nashville” mural.
- Eat your way through the city: hot chicken at Hattie B’s, biscuits at Biscuit Love, and a “Meat & 3” at Arnold’s.
- Listen to live music on Broadway (Robert’s Western World is a classic).
- See a show at the Grand Ole Opry or the historic Ryman Auditorium.
Where to stay: A hotel in “The Gulch” or “Midtown” offers a good balance of being close to the action but slightly removed from the Broadway chaos. They are modern and safe.
Austin, Texas
Austin’s official-unofficial motto is “Keep Austin Weird,” and it’s a fantastic place for a solo trip, especially if you love live music, incredible food (BBQ and Tex-Mex!), and being outdoors. The city is vibrant, young, and very social. It’s the kind of place where you can easily go to a food truck park, grab some brisket, and chat with the people at the picnic table next to you.
The city is built around the Colorado River (known here as Lady Bird Lake), which provides a beautiful “green belt” for walking, jogging, and kayaking right in the middle of the city. While it’s more spread out than other cities on this list (you’ll probably need a rideshare to explore different neighborhoods), the downtown area and South Congress (SoCo) are very walkable.
Things to do:
- Eat at Franklin Barbecue (if you’re willing to wait) or just hit up a fantastic food truck.
- Walk, run, or rent a kayak/paddleboard on Lady Bird Lake.
- Go shopping in the quirky, cool boutiques along South Congress Avenue.
- Listen to live music on 6th Street (for the party) or in the Red River Cultural District (for the music).
- Watch the (literally) million-plus bats fly out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset (seasonal).
Where to stay: Downtown is great for being in the thick of it all. The South Congress (SoCo) area is hipper, with boutique hotels and tons of “Austin” vibe right out your door.
Santa Fe, New Mexico
For a completely different kind of solo trip, Santa Fe is magic. It’s one of the most unique cities in the entire country, with its distinct adobe architecture, a rich history blending Native American and Spanish cultures, and a landscape that will take your breath away. The high-desert air is crisp, the sky is a brilliant blue, and the entire city feels like a work of art. It’s a place for quiet reflection, art, and healing.
The city is centered around the historic Plaza, which is full of galleries, shops, and restaurants. It’s incredibly safe and easy to walk around. This is one of the best US travel destinations for introverts. You can spend your days wandering through the hundreds of art galleries on Canyon Road, visiting the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, or indulging in a spa day. The food is also unique and delicious (get the green chiles!).
Things to do:
- Spend an afternoon wandering the many art galleries on Canyon Road.
- Visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum- a must for any art lover.
- Explore the historic Plaza and the Palace of the Governors.
- Experience the immersive, mind-bending art installation at Meow Wolf.
- Eat New Mexican cuisine: try anything “Christmas style” (with both red and green chile).
Where to stay: A hotel near the Plaza is the most convenient and safest bet. It puts you in the heart of the city, and you can walk to most of the main attractions.
Sedona, Arizona
If Santa Fe is for the art lover, Sedona is for the soul-searcher (and the hiker!). I’ve never seen anyplace quite like it. The second you drive in, you’re surrounded by massive, majestic red rock formations that seem to glow, especially at sunrise and sunset. The place just feels spiritual, which is why it’s famous for its “vortexes” – spots of concentrated energy that are said to be healing and meditative.
Even if you’re not into the woo-woo side of things, Sedona is a hiker’s paradise. There are trails for every skill level, and hiking solo on the well-marked, popular trails is very common and safe. The main town is full of crystal shops, spas, and restaurants with stunning views. It’s one of the best solo vacations for females to truly disconnect from the world and reconnect with yourself (and with nature).
Things to do:
- Go for a sunrise hike. The Airport Mesa and Cathedral Rock trails are popular for a reason.
- Visit one of the vortex sites (like Bell Rock or Boynton Canyon) and see how you feel.
- Drive the Red Rock Scenic Byway (SR 179).
- Treat yourself to a spa day at one of the many luxury resorts.
- Stroll the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, a beautiful, unique shopping center.
Where to stay: Look for a hotel in Uptown Sedona or West Sedona. Many have rooms with private balconies facing the red rocks, which is worth the splurge for a solo trip.
Moab, Utah
This one is for the true adventurer. If your idea of a perfect vacation involves hiking boots, a layer of red dust, and jaw-dropping natural wonders, Moab is your place. It’s the gateway to two of America’s most incredible national parks: Arches and Canyonlands. This is not a “city” trip; it’s a “base camp” trip. The town itself is small, friendly, and completely geared toward outdoor adventurers.
I felt incredibly safe here. The whole town operates on an early-to-bed, early-to-rise schedule for hikers. You can join group tours for rafting or 4×4 adventures, or you can easily explore the parks on your own. Driving and hiking in the parks solo is straightforward – the trails are well-marked, and there are always other people around on the main routes (like the hike to Delicate Arch).
Things to do:
- Hike to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park (go at sunset, but bring a headlamp for the walk back).
- Explore the Windows section of Arches National Park.
- Drive up to the “Island in the Sky” district of Canyonlands National Park for mind-blowing vistas.
- Visit Dead Horse Point State Park for an iconic (and less crowded) canyon view.
- Grab a well-deserved post-hike burger and beer at Moab Brewery.
Where to stay: There are many standard, safe chain hotels (Marriott, Hilton, etc.) right on the main street, which are perfect for a comfortable and secure home base.
Portland, Oregon
Portland is the smaller, quirkier, and (arguably) friendlier cousin of Seattle. Its motto is “Keep Portland Weird,” and it lives up to it with a fantastic indie spirit. This city is a paradise for book lovers (Powell’s City of Books is a non-negotiable stop), foodies (the food truck “pods” are legendary), and coffee snobs. The city is divided into quadrants, each with its own personality, and it’s a great place to explore by bike or on foot.
The best part about Portland for a solo traveler is its proximity to nature. You can spend the morning in the city and the afternoon hiking to a waterfall. The Columbia River Gorge is a short drive away and offers some of the most stunning waterfall hikes in the country (like Multnomah Falls). The city itself feels safe, green, and full of character.
Things to do:
- Get lost for hours in Powell’s City of Books, the world’s largest independent bookstore.
- Eat your way through a food truck pod (like the one at 10th & Alder).
- Visit the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park (stunning when in bloom).
- Take a day trip to the Columbia River Gorge to see Multnomah Falls.
- Try the city’s famous, weird, and delicious donuts (Voodoo or Blue Star).
Where to stay: A hotel in the downtown “Pearl District” is chic, central, and very walkable. For a more “Portland” vibe, look for a boutique hotel on the east side in neighborhoods like Buckman.
Seattle, Washington
The Emerald City is a fantastic solo destination, offering a perfect blend of urban cool and breathtaking nature. Yes, it’s the home of Starbucks, but the coffee culture here goes so much deeper. Seattle is built on hills and surrounded by water and mountains (on a clear day, seeing Mt. Rainier on the horizon is a spiritual experience). It’s a city of innovation, but also of cozy, rainy-day vibes.
Pike Place Market is the chaotic, wonderful heart of the city, and it’s a great place to wander solo, grazing on samples and watching the famous fish-throwing. From there, you can walk to the waterfront, the Seattle Art Museum, or the iconic Space Needle. The city has a great public transit system, and the people, while sometimes reserved (the “Seattle Freeze” is a real-ish thing), are polite and respectful.
Things to do:
- Brave the crowds at Pike Place Market (go early!).
- Visit the Chihuly Garden and Glass museum (right next to the Space Needle).
- Take a ferry to Bainbridge Island for an amazing view of the skyline and a cute town to explore.
- Explore the quirky Fremont neighborhood (and see the troll under the bridge).
- Go to the top of the Space Needle… or, for a better view with the Space Needle in it, go to the Sky View Observatory at the Columbia Center.
Where to stay: Downtown and Belltown are the most central locations for tourists, putting you within walking distance of Pike Place and the waterfront. They are busy and generally safe.
Chicago, Illinois
Chicago is one of America’s greatest – and in my opinion, most underrated – cities. It has world-class architecture, incredible museums, a phenomenal food scene (from deep-dish pizza to Michelin stars), and a friendly, unpretentious Midwestern vibe. And in the summer, it’s unbeatable. The city comes alive along the shores of Lake Michigan, with beaches, parks, and a 26-mile lakefront trail.
For a solo traveler, Chicago is a dream. The “L” train system is easy to navigate and can get you from the airport to downtown. The downtown “Loop” area is packed with stunning architecture, and Millennium Park (home of “The Bean”) is the city’s living room. The museums, like the Art Institute of Chicago, are top-notch. It’s a big city that feels manageable, and I’ve always found people to be helpful and friendly.
Things to do:
- Take an architecture boat tour on the Chicago River (a must-do!).
- See your reflection in “The Bean” (Cloud Gate) in Millennium Park.
- Spend a day at the Art Institute of Chicago.
- Walk or bike the Lakefront Trail.
- Eat deep-dish pizza (locals have their favorites, but Lou Malnati’s is a classic).
Where to stay: Stay in the River North or Gold Coast neighborhoods. They are central, safe, and packed with restaurants and shops, and you’ll be within walking distance of the Loop and the lake.
San Diego, California
If your ideal solo trip involves sun, sand, and a super-relaxed vibe, book a ticket to San Diego. This is California living at its easiest. The weather is famously perfect almost year-round, the beaches are beautiful, and the food (especially the Mexican food) is incredible. The city is more of a collection of laid-back beach towns, each with its own feel.
It’s one of the best solo trips in U.S. because the vibe is just so… chill. You can spend your days learning to surf in La Jolla, walking the cliffs at Torrey Pines, exploring the massive Balboa Park (home to the San Diego Zoo and numerous museums), and eating the best fish tacos of your life. It’s safe, clean, and endlessly sunny.
Things to do:
- Explore the vast and beautiful Balboa Park (the Spanish-Renaissance architecture is stunning).
- Hike the trails at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve for epic coastal views.
- Visit the sea lions and seals at La Jolla Cove.
- Wander the historic Gaslamp Quarter for dinner and drinks.
- Eat all the tacos. Seriously. Go to a casual spot in a neighborhood like North Park or Old Town.
Where to stay: For a beach vibe, look for a hotel in La Jolla or Pacific Beach. For a more central, urban experience, the Gaslamp Quarter or Little Italy are great, safe options.
Safety Tips for Solo Female Travelers
Traveling solo is an amazing experience, but let’s be real: safety is always on our minds. The good news is that being “safe” is 90% preparation and 10% common sense. These tips aren’t meant to scare you; they’re meant to empower you, so you can focus on the fun part.
Share Your Itinerary
This is the #1 rule. Before you leave, send a copy of your flight details, hotel confirmations, and a general plan to a trusted friend or family member back home. Check in with them regularly.
Trust Your Gut
This is your superpower. If a street feels weird, a person seems off, or a situation just doesn’t feel right… leave. Don’t worry about being polite. Your intuition is your best guide.
Research Your Neighborhood
When booking your accommodation, don’t just look at the price. Read reviews (specifically from other women, if you can find them) and look at the location on Google Maps Street View. Is it well-lit? Is it near a busy street or a subway stop?
Don’t Overstay Your “Night” Welcome
Exploring at night is part of the fun, but be smart about it. Stick to well-lit, populated areas. Know your route home, and don’t be afraid to take a rideshare or taxi for a 10-minute walk if it’s late and the street is empty.
Master the Local Transit
Familiarize yourself with the public transportation system (bus/subway) during the day. Avoid using public transit late at night if you are unsure of the stops; use a ride-share service instead.
Look Like You Know Where You’re Going
Even if you’re lost, walk with confidence and purpose. Check your maps in a cafe or duck into a shop rather than staring at your phone on a street corner.
Secure Your Valuables
Don’t carry all your cash and cards in one place. Use the hotel safe. A cross-body bag worn in front of you is generally more secure than a backpack or a shoulder purse in crowded areas.
A Little White Lie is OK
You don’t have to tell every friendly stranger that you’re traveling alone. “I’m meeting my friend/husband” is a perfectly acceptable (and often useful) fib.
Best US Travel Destinations for Introverts
If the idea of forced socialization makes you cringe, don’t worry – solo travel is actually ideal for introverts. It allows for deep, focused exploration of your interests. The best US travel destinations for introverts are those with abundant museums, quiet nature access, and low-key social scenes:
Santa Fe, NM: The focus on art and healing means introspection is encouraged.
Moab, UT: Endless trails and vast landscapes offer ultimate solitude.
Washington, D.C. & Chicago, IL: Their immense, quiet museums and historical sites are perfect for focused, hours-long visits without needing to talk to anyone.
Portland, OR & Seattle, WA: The ingrained coffee shop and bookstore culture encourages a comfortable, thoughtful solitude.
Cheap Places to Travel for Solo Female
A solo trip doesn’t have to break the bank. You can find incredible, safe, and fulfilling cheap solo vacation by targeting a few key elements:
Focus on National Parks/Nature: Destinations like Moab, UT, or the mountain areas near Asheville, NC, are extremely affordable once you arrive. Your main cost is gas/lodging; the activities (hiking, driving) are free.
Cities with Free Attractions: Washington, D.C. (Smithsonian museums) and New York City (parks, walking, free galleries) offer a massive amount of free entertainment.
Cities with Great Public Transit: Boston, NYC, and D.C. let you save on ride-shares and taxis.
Embrace Hostels: Modern, well-rated hostels (like those in Boston, Moab, or NYC) are clean, safe, and often offer female-only dorms, drastically reducing accommodation costs and providing community if you want it.
Food Cart Culture: Cities like Portland, OR, and Austin, TX, allow you to eat gourmet, local meals for a fraction of the price of a full-service restaurant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to travel alone in the USA?
Yes, absolutely. Like any country, the USA has places you should be cautious, but as a tourist visiting the destinations on this list, you will be fine. It just requires the same “city smarts” you’d use anywhere: be aware of your surroundings, trust your gut, and do a little research beforehand. Don’t let fear-mongering stop you from having an incredible adventure.
What is the safest state for solo female traveler?
This is a nuanced question! “Safety” can be measured in a lot of ways. Statistically, states in New England like Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine consistently rank as having the lowest crime rates in the country. This aligns with the “safe” vibe that places like Boston (Massachusetts) have.
What is the best vacation for a single woman?
It 100% depends on what you’re looking for.
- For the city explorer:New York City or Boston are unmatched.
- For the nature/wellness seeker:Sedona, AZ (not listed above but highly recommended for luxury/spiritual) or Moab, UT.
- For the history/charm lover:Savannah, GA or Charleston, SC. The best solo vacations for females usa are ultimately those that allow you to follow your passions without compromise, whether that’s quiet hiking or museum hopping.
How can I find affordable and safe accommodation for a cheap solo vacation?
Look for established, nationally branded hotels located in major downtown or university areas, as these are typically well-trafficked and secure. For budget options, check reputable hostels that offer female-only dorm rooms. Always check recent reviews from other female travelers specifically regarding the location’s safety at night. Staying near a major transit hub (like an ‘L’ station in Chicago or a T-stop in Boston) will also save money and time.
Is it awkward to eat alone during solo trips for women in us?
Absolutely not! The perception of “awkwardness” is far greater in your mind than it is in reality. In fact, many restaurants in major US cities cater to solo diners. Always opt to sit at the bar or a chef’s counter, this is the single best trick for solo dining. You often get better service, a front-row seat to the kitchen action, and it’s the most natural place to strike up a conversation (if you want to!). In cities like Portland or Chicago, solo diners are everywhere.
