Traveling to Prague With a Dog, Prague, Czech Republic

Dog parents looking to take their furry friend on vacation around Europe are welcome in a lot of major cities which have varying degrees of dog-friendliness. Perhaps one of the most dog-friendly is Prague. Traveling to Prague with a dog can be quite a treat for both you and your dog. What can you expect? Ample green spaces all over the city and dogs allowed pretty much everywhere.

Prague is one of the most dog-friendly capitals in Europe. Dogs are allowed pretty much everywhere people can go including restaurants and many of the city’s most famous sights. They can also ride public transportation and the country-wide train network without many restrictions.

Best of all, Prague is full of amazing parks where they can run around among vineyards, monuments, and gardens. Conveniently, you don’t have to choose between sightseeing and taking your dog to the park. Many of the city’s best viewpoints, like Letna Park, Petrin Hill, and Vitkov Hill are vast green spaces where you’ll relish your surroundings. You can even stop for a beer at one of the city’s popular beer gardens.

If anything, Prague is too dog-friendly, which poses some downsides. Over 40% of households in the Czech Republic include a dog. This means all those dog-friendly public spaces are full of other dogs (and sometimes domesticated cats out on walks). So if you have a reactive dog, you may find yourself struggling to avoid other dogs in parks, restaurants, and trams. Many dogs, though relatively well-trained, roam the city parks unleashed. So do keep that in mind if you’re traveling to Prague with a dog that doesn’t play well with others. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
