The 5 best destinations to travel alone this fall

It is true that taking a trip in the company of friends or family is a very fun experience and full of anecdotes. However, traveling alone can be a unique getaway, full of tranquility, autonomy and freedom to do whatever we want at all times. 

When doing it for the first time it is likely that we also have qualms but immediately this goes into the background pushed by the illusion of getting on a plane knowing that we have an adventure ahead of us, one of those that brings back unforgettable memories.

There are only a few days left until autumn begins and the best way to combat post-vacation syndrome is by planning an express trip through Europe. What are the 4 best destinations to travel alone this fall?

Porto

Chosen the best European destination in 2017 by the tourist institution European Best Destination, Porto is a nearby destination that promises to turn our getaway into something memorable. In addition, it offers an extra peace of mind by being next to Spain if it is the first time you travel alone and you feel homeless.

But how can you not enjoy a city as wonderful as Porto this fall? Time will fly by as you stroll through the streets that go down to the river. The image that we all have of Porto is that of its riverside, with the typical boats and those picturesque old houses. This is undoubtedly one of the liveliest areas of the city to taste a fabulous Port wine and some typical dishes of this Portuguese city.

Another thing that falls in love with Porto is its old town, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996 by Unesco. A walk through the center will allow us to discover the Palacio de la Bolsa, the Cathedral or the famous San Bento train station.

Oslo

It is the capital and the largest city in Norway. It is located between the Oslofjord fjord and a multitude of wooded hills, making it a perfect place to spend a few days of rest. However, it also offers a diverse nightlife so we can say that Oslo is a very interesting option for those travelers who want a mix of relaxation and fun.

During your stay you can discover the most alternative part of the Grünerlokka area, take a boat and tour the Oslofjord, go up to Frogner Park to admire its sculptures and even learn at the Fram Museum about polar expeditions.

To move from one place to another in the city center you can use a city bike or walk. However, the Oslo Pass will give you free access to public transport and admission to various museums, among other things. 

So many activities whet your appetite, right? In Oslo you will find many charming restaurants and bars where you can savor a wide variety of flavors from all over the world.

The capital of the Czech Republic is a sweet treat for all travelers. It has practically everything: it is beautiful, it is clean and it is cheap. In fact, it is so beautiful that you will think you are dreaming a fairy tale.

From classics like crossing the famous Charles Bridge to getting lost in amazing surprising cafes and unique gardens. Also visit the monumental complex of Hradcany Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, the other great symbol of Prague.

In short, Prague is a true open-air museum on the evolution of architecture for almost a thousand years: Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, 'art nouveau' and cubism ... Art lovers will enjoy themselves like dwarfs.
