Best Places for Single Women in Their 50s to Travel

Considerations
Today, American women especially do not want to be held back at any time, for any reason, and travel is an open option for them just as the world is vast. Still, women do have concerns about sexism, harassment and how they will be treated in other countries. There will be unique problems in different nations and they will not be welcome in some. Check the descriptions of individual countries (in the Middle East regions specifically), especially for a woman traveling alone. And there will always be wars, and corrupt or authoritarian regimes to be avoided.

Because of this the United States Department of State (link below) has set up travel warnings for international trips and one would be wise to consult them before planning or paying for a trip or tour.

Choosing Destinations
Seek out a destination where there are plenty of public amusements, a variety of accommodations, and friendly natives who also know English.

Domestic Travel
If you have not been to San Francisco, you’re missing out. Welcoming to women, San Francisco is a walking city with accessible public transportation, and the sightseeing is fantastic. From people-watching at Fisherman’s Wharf to Union Square for shopping, then on to the Japanese Garden for green and museums, there is a lot to do. The food is well known for being great and the nightlife is active.

Driving along Route 1 on the coast of Maine is a thrill while you’re looking for a small town to park your bags. The Norman Rockwell-esq rocky coastline boasts quaint New England towns and lighthouses. Make sure to visit Ogunquit, stay at a B & B, walk the powdery beach and visit art shops and galleries.

Foreign Sights
Genoa in Italy is located north of Tuscany, within shouting distance of the French border. One of Italy’s oldest seaports and birthplace of Columbus, there is a lively boardwalk, shops and restaurants along the waterfront and the architecture is lovely. Try the hiking trails and share pesto with the locals.

Amsterdam is wonderful to and for women. English is widely spoken everywhere, and it is easy to ride a bike to navigate the beautiful city and enjoy its architecture and water features. The Dutch are a friendly people and the shopping is quite modern.

Ireland is a family-friendly, welcoming destination where there are verdant countryside camera shots and pubs overflowing with domestic beer. Staying at a B & B will introduce you to both locals and other travelers who can fill you in on the “off-the-beaten track” musical festivals and places to party.

Cautions
Avoid wandering off alone in certain parts of the city and be especially cautious when approached by men or accepting help from strangers.

Tips and Warnings
Your gut instinct is not always reliable in uneasy situations, as you may not know the customs or what is considered offensive. A good travel guide will help you to navigate these chasms. For example, a single woman alone in Morocco may be thought of as “worthless” or even a prostitute.

America’s Western reputation and myth proceeds you. In Third World resorts, for example, Jamaica, Kenya or Eastern Turkey, a woman with money and presence is assumed to be looking for a “holiday giglio.”
