The full-time solo traveller is “not at all surprised” that Dublin was ranked as Tripadvisor’s number one solo travel destination for 2026. Nadya Trujillo, who has just completed a master’s in user experience design, agrees that Dublin felt safe as a solo travelling tourist. Trujillo would “100 per cent agree” with Tripadvisor’s ranking of Dublin as a top solo travel destination. “If anyone is looking for a place to solo travel, Dublin is a great place to start”. Aside from this hiccup Escobar believes “it makes complete sense” that Dublin has been recognised as a top solo travel destination.
