In fact, now the tourists are arriving in droves one could argue that there has never been a better time to plan a solo trip to Croatia as traveling without a large group allows you to blend into the background and better mingle with the locals rather than standing out as a potential target for tourist traps.

It’s beautiful with many portions of the city somehow maintaining the energy and aesthetic of a small village making it the perfect place for a casual solitary stroll or a place to recharge your batteries even with often massive crowds of tourists venture beyond the capital city. If you are depressed because of fake love or hectic life, it can be a great escape for you. However, you will realize just what a small slice of the Netherlands you’ve experienced so far. You’ll marvel at the landscapes including beautiful fields of flowers and historic windmills as well as charming little towns full of friendly locals.

Norway

The single biggest draw, however, is the nation’s incredible landscape. The dramatic fjords that cut through the land are truly awe-inspiring and the Lofoten archipelago is like something out of a dream plus any place where you can see the Northern Lights is worth a visit with or without company.
