💨 Abstract

A new study by Travelbag ranked the safest places for solo travelers in 2025, focusing on safety, affordability, and accessibility across 36 cities. Hanoi, Vietnam, topped the list due to its high daytime safety score, low costs, and friendly atmosphere. Southeast Asian cities dominated the top 10, with two Sri Lankan cities and two Indian Ocean destinations also making the cut. When considering safety alone, the UAE and Thailand led.
