Try bartering in the Grand Bazaar
On a solos holiday to Istanbul a visit to the Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest, and largest, covered markets is a must. Home to more than 50 covered streets and thousands of shops, from fragrant spices and mouth-watering treats to leather goods, silks, ornaments, carpets, jewellery and so much more - a visit here is an experience. What’s more, when you find the perfect souvenir to take home, why not haggle for the price? It’s part of the fun and often encouraged.
Travel on board the Rocky Mountaineer
On a solo adventure to Canada you could take a ride on board the Rocky Mountaineer. This iconic train journey takes you through the Rockies and offers magnificent views of snow topped mountains, shimmering lakes and wonderful wildlife – keep your eyes peeled for a bear or two.
Stand at the top of Machu Picchu
There’s something magical about Machu Picchu that a camera can’t quite capture, this means there is no better way to see this iconic Inca site than on a solo tour to Peru. Spend time exploring the ruins and try to imagine what life was like in the 15th Century. The temples and terraces are magnificent, and the panoramic views are simply breath-taking.
Experience the thrill of the Rio Carnival
Rio de Janeiro is a fantastic destination for solo travellers to visit at any time of the year, but head there at ‘Carnival time’ and this already vibrant city becomes even more colourful, and the party atmosphere intensifies. Possibly the biggest carnival in the world, beautifully adorned floats and dancers in elaborate costumes parade to the samba beat - head to the Sambadrome to fully immerse yourself in this magnificent experience.
Go in search of Incredible wildlife
It’s hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a wildlife adventure, but there is something for everyone. From a game drive in South Africa, to Gorilla trekking in Uganda and everything in between. A solos trip to the Galapagos islands will reward you with sightings of Blue-footed Boobies, giant tortoises, turtles, penguins and so much more. A singles tour to Borneo will take you to an Orangutan rehabilitation centre to see these red-furred primates up close. The biggest decision will be where to go first.
