Solo Travel 2026: Peru and Switzerland Join the Dream List!

Ready to ditch the group chat and fly solo? 2026 is officially the year of independent adventures! Peru and Switzerland have just climbed into the top rankings for solo explorers, joining heavyweights like Japan and Australia. Whether you’re looking for a soul-searching trek to Machu Picchu or a peaceful escape among the Swiss Alps, these newcomers offer the perfect mix of safety, accessibility, and jaw-dropping scenery.

According to the latest travel reports, Japan remains the undisputed king of solo trips, thanks to its amazing food and current affordability. Right behind it is Australia, securing the silver medal for being one of the safest and most diverse places on Earth. Solo travelers are loving the “Land Down Under” for its balance: you can get lost in a rainforest in the morning and join a vibrant social wine tour by the afternoon, making it easy to meet fellow wanderers.

The rest of the 2026 Top 10 list is a traveler’s fever dream: New Zealand, Argentina, South Korea, Italy, Greece, Thailand, and Iceland. From the neon-lit streets of Seoul to the dramatic fjords of Iceland, the world is more solo-friendly than ever. The best part? You set the pace, make the spontaneous calls, and grow as a person with every mile. The globe is waiting—why wait for anyone else?
