Travelling solo as a woman doesn’t need to be daunting – and on these Culture Trip adventures, you can share epic experiences with other like-minded travellers.

Travel for women tends to involve a few extra considerations, from the safety of a destination to easy access to facilities while on the road. While these factors are important, seeing the world solo is one of the most liberating experiences you can have – and there are always plenty of women travel groups to join. Whether you’re exploring Iceland’s frozen wilderness or relaxing on sun-drenched Croatian beaches, these small-group tours with Culture Trip are ideal for single female travellers.

Island and bar-hopping on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast

Affordable, friendly, sun-soaked and packed with ancient towns lined with mazy cobbled streets, Croatia is a great choice when it comes to solo trips for women. On Culture Trip’s eight-day adventure along the Dalmatian coast, you’ll hop from the mainland to the islands and back, starting in Split and travelling south to Dubrovnik. Along the way, you’ll sample Hvar’s pulsating nightlife, relax on dreamy beaches on a trip to Vis island, try local wine at the vineyards around Lumbarda and plenty more. Our Local Insider will accompany your group throughout, showing you a side of Croatia most solo travellers don’t get to experience.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
