Traveling Solo 5: Four Favourite Single Cities

Amsterdam

The seventeenth century mingles in quite well with the modern shops, boutiques, and restaurants of contemporary Amsterdam. Everything from Rembrandt to "red lights" abound in this Northern European city. Fortunately, the size of the city is relatively small, so you really only need to walk most places.

Montreal

At least you don't need to learn French, for there are so many English-speaking people in Quebec. Their local subways are great, and clean! You can go on a self-guided tour, and even scout out their local museums for more Rembrandts. Plus, there are lots of stores, and great French restaurants, most of which take American dollars!

Paris

Sure, France isn't known for being American-friendly, but Paris seems to do quite well in accepting American tourists, including those who are solos. Many people even speak English to help you, although don't count on the local taxi drivers to. Trains and buses are numerous, and inexpensive. And, of course, Paris has so many museums all around the city to help in your artistic appreciation endeavors.

New York City

In this thriving metropolis, you can find something for everyone of every age. Bus and subway routes might be a little confusing, but Manhattan, at least, is divided up into grid-like streets and avenues, and in a very orderly fashion. You can easily walk almost anywhere!

SO, now that your taste buds have been whetted, let's get you booked for your next wonderful vacation in one of these wonderful solo-friendly cities at www.kingarthur.myttn.com today!
