If you are a girl looking for a getaway idea, read on for ten of our must-visit places for ladies—from the best places to visit solo to soul-searching vacations, learning holidays, and more.
10. London: Go for tea at the Ritz.
It’s a classy affair that has taken place for hundreds of years—and to be honest, there’s no better way to spend an afternoon than taking in tea at the Ritz. It’s great not just for its tasty crumpets and sultry tea selection, but for some good old people watching.
9. Singapore: Get a taste of Asia.
How could a girl not love a place that bans spitting on the floor and chewing gum? Not only is Singapore clean, but it’s orderly, people are friendly, it has awesome tropical weather, everyone speaks English, the shopping is fantastic—and it’s especially wonderful because they have chili and black pepper crab that will change your life.
8. New York City: Get wild in the city.
Even before Gossip Girl and Sex and the City made New York City even larger than life, this city has always been a rite of passages for every girl. Maybe it was When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle that did it, but every girl has got to stroll through Central Park, skate in Rockefeller, shop on Fifth Avenue, and visit the top of the Empire State Building.
7. Tuscany, Italy: Go for cooking classes.
Many women are taking on “learning vacations” as a fun way to travel and learn a new skill at the same time. One of the best places to do this is in the Italian countryside, where you can retreat to a quaint country home in Tuscany for a cooking vacation and to experience la dolce vita. Learn about farm-to-table cooking and discover traditional Italian recipes to impress your friends at home.
6. Marrakech, Morocco: Get hammam’d
There are spa treatments, and then there are hammam spa treatments. If you’re looking for a truly thrilling, exotic holiday, make your way to Morocco. In Marrakech, stay at a chic hotel like La Mamounia while you explore the souks for carpets, leather goods, silks, and spices. While you’re there, make your way to a local hammam for a steamy exfoliating experience that you’ll never forget.
