There are quite a few reports about crimes committed against women who travel alone, or who have been vacationing. It can be really dangerous for a lone female traveller to explore certain places on her own. Apart from sexual assaults, activities like pickpocketing, theft in one’s hotel room, or mugging. Various aspects like walking around a place alone, safe tour guides, etc have to be considered before a vacation is planned, in order to come back with nothing but beautiful memories!

Escapehere came up with a list of 10 cities where women should be safe travelling alone. Anyone travelling to a new city should be knowledgeable about the dangers and how to get help if they need it. To choose the cities, we looked at the rights and wages of women in the particular countries, along with crimes against women statistics.

Stop by at night, when the fountain lights up with a blue glow touching on to the magic in the Norse religious history.
