Italy is probably one of the most dog-friendly destinations in Europe.

While the German-speaking countries have a reputation for being dog-friendly (and certainly are), in Italy there’s even more places that you can visit with a dog, including rather relaxed rules when it comes to dogs. You’ll have no trouble finding dog-friendly restaurants in Italy to dine at with your dog. While there are some places that have a sign at the door stating no dogs are allowed, usually bakeries or small bars, most restaurants and cafes will allow dogs inside. And finally finding dog-friendly accommodation in Italy is easy! Whether it is holiday homes or hotels, the Italians in general loves dogs.
