BBC Travel has attempted to crunch the numbers and come up with the best destinations for solo female travellers.
The former ranks countries around the world based on factors including education, employment, legal discrimination and violence targeting women, while the latter looks at ongoing domestic and international conflicts, societal safety and security, and militarisation.
Looking at both, the broadcaster landed on five countries for solo female travellers to visit in 2026 – two of which are in Europe.
1.Estonia
2.Norway
3.Costa Rica
4.Vietnam
5.Uruguay
