Rome Alone
A medieval cloister can hide behind a plain door on a lane you have walked all week. Between the big sights, counter meals and long sits on piazzas make room for smaller finds like this.

Italy
Florence Alone
Florence is small enough to cover on foot, so leave the Uffizi when you've looked enough and rest in a café. Evenings belong to aperitivo: a glass of wine and a few snacks at a bar.

Italy
Venice Alone
Venice's lanes and bridges make packing light worthwhile. Drop your bags, take a vaporetto when it suits your route, then find a bacaro counter for a meal on your own.

Amsterdam Alone
On an ordinary evening along the Prinsengracht, lit front rooms glow behind open curtains across the water. Walk until you've had enough, then settle into a brown café with a notebook.

Eastern Europe
Prague Alone
Reading Kafka over a beer in a Prague beer hall is the default here, not a curiosity. Past the medieval core, Karlín and Holešovice add new businesses and contemporary art.

Dublin Alone
Merrion Square's Georgian doorways, lunch upstairs at the Winding Stair, and the DART out to Howth for the coast.

Asia

New York Alone
Dinner at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central makes a natural stop for one. Outside, look up at the Chrysler Building and the MetLife Building, then follow the city's grid.

Italy
Amalfi Coast Alone
In spring the lemon groves bloom and the air smells of them. By ferry from Naples the coast rises out of a blue haze, and a stepped alley in Atrani is worth following to its end.

France
Paris Alone
At a Paris bistro counter, dinner for one fits right in. Choose a neighborhood you'd like to return to, such as the Marais or the Latin Quarter, and rest on café terraces between walks.

Lisbon Alone
Lisbon climbs seven hills, but you can take them at your own pace. Start on the flat Baixa grid by the Tagus, explore Alfama, and use transport for climbs that don't suit you.
