Picking the right place to go is very important if you want to enjoy your solo holidays for the over-70s. So, here are five great holiday spots perfect for people over 70 travelling alone.
Firstly, Lisbon is an excellent place for older people travelling alone. It has a mix of old buildings and modern comforts. You can walk through pretty old streets, ride the famous yellow trams, and enjoy beautiful views from the hills. It's ideal because it has easy transport options and does not require too much walking.
Gran Canaria is an excellent choice if you want sunny days and a peaceful holiday. This beautiful island has soft, golden beaches, calm seas, and relaxing resorts—perfect for people of all ages. The weather is warm all year, and the walkways are flat and easy.
Moreover, Athens is full of old and famous places to see, but it's easy to get around, even for seniors. You can join relaxed group tours to the Acropolis, walk around ancient buildings, or just sit at a rooftop café and enjoy the view.
Rome isn't just for young or busy travellers. It's an excellent place for people over 70 who enjoy beautiful buildings, art, and the charm of Italy. You can take your time walking around old ruins, eat outside at cosy restaurants, and look at amazing old paintings and statues.
Lastly, if you want a peaceful and relaxing holiday, Seychelles is a great place to go. It's a group of beautiful islands with clear blue water, soft sandy beaches, and natural beauty. It's perfect for older solo travellers (70+) enjoying calm, comfortable, and light fun.
Travelling alone in your 70s isn't the same for everyone. That's why Zippy has many options for the best singles holidays for those over 70 years of age from the UK.
Moreover, our winter holidays for people over 70 allow you to leave the cold behind and enjoy the warm sun. They are great if you like gentle weather, easy activities, and plenty of time to rest.
Do you enjoy the sound of the sea and walking on warm sand? Beach holidays for people over 70 are perfect for relaxing and having fun. These packages usually take you to peaceful seaside places that are easy to walk around. You can enjoy calm boat rides, short scenic walks, or visit nearby towns.
If you enjoy historical buildings, art, stories from the past, and talking to interesting people, then cultural holidays are just right for you. These packages are slow and relaxing, so you can enjoy each place.
You might walk through historic cities, see famous museums, try local food, and join friendly group activities. So, even travelling alone, you won't feel lonely.
Laslty, city breaks are a fun and easy holiday choice if you like seeing new places, trying tasty food, and learning about different cultures. These short visits are great for people over 70 who want to enjoy travel without going too far or staying too long.
Planning the perfect holiday when you're over 70 isn't just about choosing where to go — it's about ensuring the package suits your comfort. So, here are a few simple things to consider before you go.
Firstly, when choosing where to go, think about the weather. If you dislike very hot or cold days, it's best to travel somewhere with mild, comfortable weather. Look up the weather for the time you want to go and choose months that are usually dry and pleasant.
Moreover, popular tourist places can get very crowded and tiring. That's why people over 70 should travel when it's not so busy. Fewer people mean more peace. So, you won't have to wait in long lines, hotels are quieter, and tour guides can give you more attention. It's also easier to get around.
Lastly, not every holiday has to be busy or tiring. The best deals for people over 70 let you explore without getting too tired. So, pick tours where there isn't too much walking, the pace is slow, or help is available if you need it. Also, choose holidays that have group meals or evening events where you can meet and talk to other people travelling alone.

Travelling alone in your 70s can be a fun and exciting adventure. However, smart planning can make your experience easier, safer, and more fun.
Your health is vital, especially when you're travelling alone. So, here's what you should do.
Moreover, carrying heavy bags can be a big problem, especially when travelling alone. So, here are some considerations to make things easier.
Keep all your important travel papers in one safe and easy-to-carry pouch. Also, make a copy of your important papers. Put one set in another bag and send pictures of them to your email or someone in your family — just to be safe.
Travelling by yourself doesn't mean you have to feel lonely. Tell your family or a close friend where you're going before you leave, and stay in touch while you're away.
Lastly, it's okay if you don't do everything. Take it easy, rest when you feel tired, and drink plenty of water. If you need to skip something, that's fine, too. This is your holiday—go at your own pace and enjoy it your way.
