Not boring or dangerous: the 5 safest and easiest countries to explore if you travel alone

Meteored Portugal12 September 2026 at 11:04

Albania, Germany, Vietnam, New Zealand, and Uruguay were identified as the five safest and easiest countries to explore for solo travelers. These destinations combine good transport systems, nature, beaches, and diverse options that allow you to explore at your own pace.

Albania allows you to alternate between beaches, historical heritage, and thermal waters, while Germany stands out for the combination of big cities and an efficient public transport network that makes getting around easy. Vietnam, in turn, brings together gastronomy, history, and natural landscapes as main attractions.

New Zealand offers routes, fjords, and outdoor activities for those seeking adventure, while Uruguay proposes a more tranquil experience, with much of its appeal linked to the Atlantic coast. Punta del Este, José Ignacio, Rocha, and the capital Montevideo offer alternatives to combine rest and cultural visits.

"Guardians of the Lord of Patience"

The Feast of the Lord of Patience takes place this Sunday, September 13, at the Monastery of Santo António, in Lombo dos Aguiares, Madeira, with the solemn Eucharist at 5:00 PM presided by D. Nuno Brás, bishop of Funchal, followed by a procession. The Poor Clares have kept this devotion alive for more than half a century, linked to the memory of the Servant of God Mother Virginia Brites da Paixão, defining themselves as "guardians of the Lord of Patience." This year marks the debut of a new hymn dedicated to the Lord of Patience, with lyrics by Sister Maria da Cruz and music by Fr. Ignácio Rodrigues, an initiative of Fr. André Pinheiro that involved the parishes of Visitação and Graça in organizing the celebrations.
