Had planned a 10 day trip in February to Venice and Florence. Now, going single, I'm thinking of either London or Amsterdam for 6 days instead and doing Northern Italy another time. Any advice on which city might be more welcoming to a single person, places to stay as a single, etc? Thanks all

Hi cm,

Mind telling us why you want to switch?

Venice and Florence are certainly not unwelcoming to single persons.

What's TC?

I've traveled to both London and AMsterdam as a single person, and don't think it makes a big difference between the two in that regard. Personally, I would much rather spend 6 days in February in London.

cmt,

I'm guessing Traveling Companion.

London, Amsterdam, OR Florence and Venice would all be just fine to travel solo. Go where ever you dream of visiting . . . .

The switch is due to a possible trip with my husband in August now to Italy. He wanted to go initially but couldn't get away in February. I was so pumped to get away then that I just don't want to stay home now!

Hmmmm.

Hubby can't go to Italy in Feb, but might be able to go in August.

I would choose Amsterdam.

Is there a reason for not going to Paris or Rome?

If you choose Amsterdam, check out Hotel Fita (www.fita.nl) I've stayed there a few times by myself. Great location.

I agree with ira. I've done this trip with a Thalys ride to Paris and for a six-day solo adventure, it keeps things moving. It's a great trip.

Ira - been to paris and rome already - hoping to revisit them in another year or so. gotta get the kids off to college and free up more time!!!

All of these cities would be "welcoming" (since you are allowing us to define the term)...I think, personally, I'd travel to the one which contained the things I wanted to see the most. Most hotels will be happy to book you into a single room, etc. so not sure what your concerns really are.
