A new ranking by tour-booking platform GuruWalk has identified the cities that attract the highest proportion of solo travellers, highlighting destinations where people are choosing to explore on their own.
According to the company, the ranking is based on bookings made over the last 12 months across its network of destinations. GuruWalk analysed its 150 most popular cities and determined which locations welcomed the largest share of travellers booking alone.
Solo travel has become an increasingly common way for people to experience new cultures, meet other travellers and explore destinations at their own pace. Many travellers say travelling alone gives them more flexibility, freedom and opportunities to connect with local communities.
