SOLO TRAVEL IN EUROPE | 40+ Tips and Must-Knows for 1st Time Solo Travelers!

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this video all about solo travel in Europe. Feel free to share your solo travel stories in the comments to inspire your fellow travelers :)

Hi Christina I’m thirteen but I actually flew to London by myself to see relatives. Your video helped me a lot. Tysm for these great videos!

Just came back from a 10 day solo trip to Italy, France & Spain. Part land part MSC cruise. Pro tip::: Pack light!! I can’t express that enough. So much walking, so many stairs and uneven cobble stone terrain. It’s ok to be fashionably stylish but do dress comfortable and plan to rewear your clothes. It’s ok to wash a few outfits and wear them again. Also.. if in Italy specifically Genova. Never enter a bus without a ticket. You cannot pay on the bus. The police comes on the bus and asks for your ticket. If you don’t produce a ticket you will be forced to pay €67 later or€47 on the spot by credit card. They will not budge with tears or pleading about being an English speaking tourist. Happened to me and had I let it get to me it certainly would have ruined my trip 2 days in. For the trains make sure that if you buy your ticket at the station that you validate it at one of the many machines before boarding. If you bought it online make sure that the pass is downloaded to your wallet or you have a screenshot of it. For taxi drivers always navigate the route with them on your speakerphone or they will take you the longest route possible to Jack up the fare.

Spot on info, as always, thank you! Just returned from first time overseas (I live in Australia, I’m nearly 60 and can’t believe it took me this long but anyway…) , went solo, 7weeks, fantastic. Gotta be happy in your own company for long trips like this. I actually found Airbnb places to be the best most affordable places to stay, did so for 90% of my accommodation. Hotels and even hostels were heaps more expensive and stuck in one room, loved the amenities and larger spaces at all my Airbnb stays and really helpful local hosts if needed. Glad I didn’t have bad experiences like a few others. I thought as a solo woman I’d be stuck in my accommodation at night time feeling not safe to go out but travelling in summer/autumn when it’s still warm in the evening there were SO many people around that I never once felt unsafe. It’s probably different in the winter but it was a welcome surprise to feel I had the ‘choice’ to head out whenever I wanted. 😊

Awesome thorough information! Thank you so much!

Very good solo tips! Thx ❤

I've gotta tell you that I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel!

I've recently discovered your channel and am finding your videos so helpful and inspiring as I plan my first solo trip in October.

Super helpful video thank you!

As always, very well put together and perfectly observed. Just love your YT-content!

This is excellent. Even though I often times leads groups to Europe, I always plan some "alone" time to travel on my own and your suggestions are spot on! Planning your train trip in first class - YES!! less crowded, more comfortable seating and a greater possibility of having luggage storing areas in the cars. One suggestion I'd add is take pictures of your passport, IDs, credit cards, and prescriptions and keep them in your phone memory. You never know when you'll need them here in the US or abroad. I still carry a copy of my vaccination card on my phone - just in case.

Very informative 👍

Nicely presented video. Greetings from Switzerland.

Great tips taking a solo trip to Portugal in March did lots of research Portugal came up as a good solo trip option😊

I leave next week for my first trip out of the country and I’m doing it solo! #16 really hits home in the video. Thx for all the content you put out!

Lol my Montreal trip landing is during the day. However, it's right after the time change in November so by the time I get to my hotel, it'll be dark😂

What I wish I had known.
