"Solo travel can be intimidating, but it also gives you total freedom. You can eat where you want, linger where you want and change plans on a whim. TripAdvisor just released its 2026 Travelers Choice Awards, including Best of the Best Destinations, and, for the first time, the list includes awards for the best destinations for solo travel. The Best of the Best Awards are based on millions of reviews and ratings from October 2024 to September 2025."
"New York City is TripAdvisor's number six best destination for solo travelers in 2026 all across the globe. Few destinations are better suited to solo exploration, after all. New York's diversity means you can get a taste of the world in a compact area. Jump from Chinatown to Queens to Harlem in a single day, sampling cultures and cuisines along the way. The city's iconic attractions are all easy to explore alone: the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park the Met."
TripAdvisor's 2026 Travelers Choice Awards introduced a solo travel category for the first time, using millions of reviews and ratings from October 2024 to September 2025. New York City placed sixth worldwide, noted for compact cultural diversity, easy access to iconic attractions like the Statue of Liberty and the Met, and welcoming off‑the‑beaten-path options such as The Cloisters and neighborhood libraries. The city’s transit hubs and streets are easier to navigate alone, and solo travelers can dine, linger, and change plans freely. Dublin earned the top solo-travel spot, followed by Berlin at number two.
