Traveling to Dresden with Your Dog, Dresden, Germany

As the heart of Saxony, Dresden is an amazing place to take your pup along. Not only is Dresden surrounded by natural beauty, the city itself is extremely dog-friendly. Read on to find out everything you need to know about traveling to Dresden with a dog.

Like most major cities in Germany, Dresden considers dogs an extension of the family. As such, it feels as though dogs are visible and accepted everywhere. In fact, when researching what restaurants we could take our pup to, I even found negative reviews for restaurants that didn’t offer their dog a bowl of water. You’re more likely than not to be allowed to dine out with your dog, though I’ve included a list of dog-friendly restaurants below to eliminate the guesswork.

The city also has beautiful sights that are perfect for both dogs and their owners like the Grand Garden of Dresden and the garden at the Zwinger. That being said, pups are not allowed to walk through the Zwinger’s collection of priceless exhibits housed inside. Dogs are also reasonably not allowed at the Royal Palace or the city’s churches.

In addition to having some stunning palatial gardens in the city, Dresden is also a perfect home base to visit Saxon Switzerland National Park and the famed Bastei Bridge, which are just 30 minutes away by car and about an hour away by train. ......
