Během nich navštívila řadu blízkých i vzdálených míst: Palestinu, Egypt, Island, Skandinávii, Chile, Brazílii, Indii, Čínu, Tahiti aj. Své cestovní zážitky a poznatky zveřejnila v několika cestopisech, které si získaly značnou čtenářskou odezvu, Pfeifferová, zvláště od vydání Ženy na cestě kolem světa (Eine Frauenfahrt um die Welt, 1850), patřila k nejpopulárnějším cestopiscům své doby. Cestopis vyšel česky už v roce 1846 zásluhou J. E. Š. Křečka. Komentovaná edice Veroniky Faktorové si klade za cíl přiblížit dílo a osobnost jedné z prvních modeních cestovatelek i zohlednit místo, které obrozenecký překlad tohoto textu zaujímá v kontextu české literatury.
