Well, it depends on the type of activities one would do and what type of person he or she is. Personally, I suppose it is better to visit cities in a group of friends. Let's say you want to go to an amusement park. It sounds boring to ride the Ferris Wheel or roller coaster alone. On one hand, for some people who are fond of art galleries, it would be pleasing and fulfilling for them to observe art alone.
