When it comes to planning a trip as a solo female traveler, safety is almost always number one. Of course, things like activities, museums, and sight-seeing also come into play but making sure the destination will be accommodating and comfortable is vital to ensuring a positive trip experience.

It’s really no surprise that Vermont ranked the safest city for solo female travelers. It has the lowest rate of violence against women and the highest rate of women who report feeling safe in the country. It also happens to have the most museums per capita in the nation.
Pennsylvania comes in second place thanks to its excellent internet availability and speed, friendly residents, and overall safety for women. It also has an abundance of museums to explore as well as plenty of safe walking and hiking trails to explore.
Delaware offers a small-town feel with friendly neighbours at every corner. It also boasts an overall sense of security among female travelers as well as high internet speeds throughout the state.
Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country—and its small size means its also one of the most walkable states to explore. It has the highest community safety rating in the country which means instant peace of mind for solo female travelers.
The fifth safest state in the country is Maryland. Its bustling city and scenic waterways as well as the fact that it has the best internet speed in the country makes it appealing for solo travelers and remote workers alike.
The rest of the list included Minnesota, Colorado, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Kansas. Each of the cities on the list boasted friendly citizens and low rates of violence against women compared to other destinations in the country.
