Although it can be frightening, travelling alone is often the best way to explore a new country or city.

Unrestricted by the wishes and to-do lists of companions, solo travellers get to experience a side of their destination which is completely tailored to their own interests.

Business Insider has compiled a list of the 50 best cities in the world that everyone should travel to alone in their lifetime.

The cities were chosen and ranked based on three main criteria:

Hostelworld's 2017 survey of the world's most sociable and friendly cities also provides an idea of how welcoming the locals are to solo travellers for some cities, though not all destinations were not included in the survey so this did not influence the ranking.

Scroll on to discover the 50 best cities in the world for travelling alone, ranked in ascending order.
