If you love taking your furry pal on adventures with you, you should know which cities around the world are the most pet-friendly. Today we’ll focus on Europe—here are its most dog-loving metropolitans.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague has taken some serious steps to become more dog-friendly in the past decade. Dogs are now welcome in most restaurants and bars and you’ll find many dog-friendly hotels too.

Berlin, Germany

Not only does Berlin has one of the most efficient public transit systems in the world, but your dogs are welcome on the city’s buses and trains too. Cafes, restaurants, and hotels that would welcome your dog with open arms are widely available too.

Barcelona, Spain

Locals in Barcelona love their dogs so naturally, visitors’ four-legged pals are welcome too. There is even a dog beach on Playa de Llevant, complete with dog urinals, drinking fountains, and doggie showers, as well as other pet-friendly stretches of sand nearby.

Paris, France

There are clear rules about where pets can and cannot go in Paris, but most Parisians simply … ignore them. French dogs accompany their owners everywhere—restaurants, exclusive boutiques, taxis, buses, and the metro.

Vienna, Austria

The sophisticated Austrian capital Vienna is one of the most dog-friendly cities in Europe. There is a catch though. Your dog is expected to be well-behaved and well-groomed in public spaces. In fact, Viennese dogs are amongst the best dressed in the world.
