The United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

When asked about the best destinations for solo travelers, the United Kingdom inevitably comes to mind.

It is the country I've visited most often and yet never tire of.

It is also the perfect destination for a solo traveler going overseas for the first time. It is different enough to be exciting yet similar enough to be manageable.

So yes, whether you're a veteran solo traveler or a newbie, I think the UK should be on your list.
