Curious about our ranking? Here’s the proof.

The top cities have been selected based on the largest share of solo travel searches made on KAYAK and the share of solo dining at OpenTable restaurants.

The solo travel share has been identified based on the hotel searches for one person conducted from the 1st January 2024 to 31st July 2024 for the travel period between 7th January 2024 and 30th November 2024.

To identify solo dining share, OpenTable looked at solo seated diners from phone, online and walk-in reservations from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2024 in cities with over 10 restaurants containing POS data, as of 1st January 2024.

KAYAK considered hotel clicks to determine nightly prices for a standard double room in 3 and 4-star hotels with the search period between the 1st January 2024 to 31st July 2024 and the travel period between 7th January 2024 and 30th November 2024. Prices are on average in Canadian dollars.

KAYAK considered flight clicks to determine prices for the return flights in economy class departing from the Canada for searches from the 1st January 2024 to 31st July 2024 for the travel period 7th January 2024 – 30th November 2024. Prices are on average in Canadian dollar.

The average rating of hotels in a given city given by solo travellers is collected over the period of 1st January 2020 – 30th April 2024 from the English reviews. The reviews come from KAYAK and partner websites.

OpenTable looked at seated diners from online, phone, and walk-in reservations from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2024 looking at restaurants on the platform during this period.

Values within each factor were firstly normalised using formulas: score = (x – min(X)) / (max(X) – min(X)) and score = 1 – (x – min(X)) / (max(X) – min(X)) for inverted values (e.g.average hotel price, where the lower price is better) and then the final score of the factors has been calculated for each city.
