"Viaggiatrice Solitaria - Il Meglio Di Alice" is a compilation album of recordings by Italian singer-songwriter Alice, released by EMI Music in 1995.

Unlike EMI Italiana's 1994 "best of" package "Il Vento Caldo Dell'Estate", which mainly included tracks from the artist's early career plus a disco remix of the 1982 duet "Chanson Egocentrique" with Franco Battiato which surprisingly omitted all vocals by the composer himself, this compilation was produced with both the participation and approval of Alice. "Viaggiatrice Solitaria" focuses on material from the albums "Mezzogiorno Sulle Alpi" (1992), "Il Sole Nella Pioggia" (1989) and "Park Hotel" (1986) - and it includes the original unremixed duet version of "Chanson Egocentrique".

"Viaggiatrice Solitaria - Il Meglio Di Alice" whose title translates as "Solitary Traveller - The Best of Alice" became the final collaboration between the artist and the EMI Music label. Her first studio album for WEA/Warner Music, "Charade", was released later the same year.
