General Safety When Traveling Alone
- Do your homework. Know how long it takes and how much it costs to get from the airport to your hotel.
- Arrive during the day. Areas around bus and train stations can be scary or deserted, and small towns tend to shut down early.
- Book a hotel with a 24-hour front desk if you'll be arriving late.
- Check your maps and transportation schedules before leaving your hotel/rental car.
- Register with the State Department. U.S. citizens travelling internationally can consider signing up for the free Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). It could assist you in case of an emergency.
