Solo holidays

Have a look on the Travel Site.. There’s a thread about solo holidays,

You are considerably younger than most of the GNs here, I wonder if Mumsnet might offer you better opinions.

Welcome Ava25. I think it's a good idea to have "younger" grannies on here. I also don't think 51 is "considerably" younger than many others. Hope you enjoy Gransnet.

Croatia is safe and beautiful! You can get buses and ferries all over plus there are trains but not too good! Zagreb to Split by train is a great journey! Zadar is a lovely town plus you can island hop! Hvar and Brac fab! Are for lone females go for it

My "go to" place is Italy
SO much to see!

I loved Sweden.. it is a short air flight and then has brilliant transport,, especially visit the little islands near Stockholm..

How far is too far? I went on a Solos group holiday to the Silk Road. We flew to Tashkent, and visited Kiva, Bhukara and Samarkand. Not sure if you could do it unless on an organised tour, but certainly worth a visit.

I am a singleton and would love to travel solo but when I look at the options for solo travellers they seem very expensive…at least too expensive for my budget!

Malta and Gozo are lovely places.

Have you thought about cruising. Lots of opportunities for like minded solo travellers. I have used a company called passion for cruising who specialise in solos.

What about Madeira? It has a good climate, food, wine and some lovely walks.

Dalmatian Coast in Croatia, stunning scenery, great weather and in many places still completely unspoilt

Germany. Not on many peoples list but so lovely. Try a river cruise to get a feel for it. Maybe visit Bavaria, Harz Mountains, River Main etc. Colmar France for Christmas market.

I'm 72 (today!) and have travelled solo for many years. I've been all over Europe, and mostly on a pretty tight budget. I would love to go on one of the Solo travel organised holidays, but they are out of my budget. However I've been to Germany, Italy, Spain, but my favourite is a small village in the south of France. I like being able to do what I want, when I want!

Holland, Belgium, Barcelona ? I’ve been told are all very nice - Bon voyage

Early 60s here and I travel solo too. My favourite non long haul destination is Greece. So many islands to get to!

Could you consider a cruise. Two birds with one stone. Long haul and safe. 35 days from Southampton to Barbados, round the islands and back.

If you are a walker, try HF. Both uk and abroad. Not singles as such but good sociable holidays. You don’t need to be very fit as walks are different levels of ability.

Croatia is beautiful.

Lots of people rave about Portugal,I have a friend going solo next January,good luck.

Happy Birthday Shnackie2

So sorry about the spelling, just noticed!

Ambassador cruises have special prices for solos and many local departure ports in the UK.

I would suggest Malta. It is small enough for you to be able to explore all the island using buses. Full of historical interest, fiestas (in the summer), good weather even in the winter and everybody speaks English. Good traditional restaurants as well as a variety of international food outlets. Safe for solo travellers.
