Time Out: Vietnam Ranks Among World’s Safest Destinations for Solo Female Travelers

Time Out magazine has recently listed Vietnam as one of the world’s nine safest destinations for solo female travelers, based on an article published by the editor on March 19th, 2024.

“When considering the safest destinations for women backpacking in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Vietnam are still vying for the top spot – but Vietnam is a great place to start,” the magazine wrote.

Vietnam’s political stability and low crime rates make it an attractive destination for visitors. Visitors can enjoy a tour that spans from the capital city of Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, taking in the best of Vietnam’s natural beauty, including mountains, beaches, and islands. The Time Out editors strongly recommend that tourists take the time to visit the historic cities of Hoi An and Hue, which are known for their distinctive traditional cuisine.

“I realized that I had nothing to fear about traveling in Vietnam as a solo traveler or as an American. My experience there was nothing but positive, and it’s a country that I continually dream of returning to,” said Amanda Williams, a travel blogger who has visited over 50 countries, sharing her experience on Intrepid Travel.
