Discover History and Culture on Every Trail
For travellers who crave culture and history, walking holidays provide an intimate look at the past and the present. Meandering through medieval towns, ancient ruins, or UNESCO-listed heritage sites at your own pace allows for deeper connection and understanding than a rushed tour ever could. Routes like Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland or the Hadrian’s Wall Path in England are perfect for solo globetrotters looking to blend a journey with a story. Along the way, you’ll uncover charming villages, centuries-old churches, and museums that add fascinating depth to your travels.
Top tip: Chat with locals — their stories often reveal the real history you won’t find in guidebooks.

Embrace the Freedom of Coastal Walks

Coastal walking holidays give solo travellers the ultimate sense of liberation — with the ocean breeze in your hair and endless horizons ahead. From the rugged cliffs of Somerset to the serene beaches of the Algarve, every step offers a new view to fall in love with. Plus, coastal routes are often well-marked and popular – making it ideal for those seeking a more leisurely stroll.
Top tip: Pack a lightweight windbreaker and a camera – coastal sunsets are not to be missed.

Venture Off the Beaten Path: Discover Unique Trails
While famous routes have their charm, some of the most rewarding walking holidays happen away from the crowds. For solo travellers seeking something truly special, exploring unique & lesser-known trails offers a deeper connection to nature, culture, and adventure. Picture winding through remote villages in Granada, Spain or embarking on a thrilling Dunajec river rafting cruise in Poland. These hidden gems often reveal untouched landscapes, authentic local experiences, and a sense of solitude that’s increasingly rare.
Choosing an off-the-beaten-path trail doesn’t mean sacrificing safety or support — with Solos the itineraries are well-organised and led by excellent local guides.

Reconnect with Nature (and Yourself)
Solo walking holidays are a perfect antidote to the fast pace of everyday life. They offer rare time for reflection, mindfulness, and connection to the natural world. Whether you’re hiking across Icelandic highlands, wandering through lavender fields in Provence, or traversing the iconic Moroccan Atlas Mountains you’ll experience landscapes that inspire awe — and often, transformation.
Top tip: Bring a travel journal. You’ll want to capture the quiet moments and epiphanies that walking in nature so often inspires.
