Is Strasbourg Dog-Friendly?, Strasbourg, France

If you’re wondering whether you can comfortably take your dog on vacation with you to Strasbourg, wonder no more. Strasbourg is a wonderfully dog-friendly city to visit in the Alsace region of France.

If you’re visiting France, you can reach Strasbourg conveniently by train with your dog from many nearby cities. Dogs are allowed on all French trains. Small dogs can be taken in an enclosed travel bag for a small fee. If they’re too big for a bag, they must be leashed and wear a muzzle. Bigger dogs are also more expensive, because they have to pay half the cost of the full fare. The exception is guide dogs who travel for free. The main train station is conveniently located in the heart of the city.

Strasbourg is a quaint town with beautiful, picturesque alleys and a lot of little canals where you can see the city’s iconic half-timbered houses. You should be aware that the streets can get really crowded, especially in Petite-France, which may be overwhelming for your dog. However, we found that one of the best things about bringing our dog along was that we were able to enjoy the city on his morning walk when the city is still empty.

Even if you’re seeing Strasbourg in the middle of the day (for example, if you’re visiting on a day trip), you can still find quiet peaceful space along the waterways or at the city’s parks where your dog can run around, and you can get away from the hordes of people. ......
