If you’re looking for the perfect getaway with your dog this summer, then the city of love could be exactly the right place to jet off to. Paris has been named the most pet-friendly city in Europe, topping the list due to its plethora of hotels, restaurants and parks that all cater to canine companions. New research from Ubuy UK has analysed the number of pet-friendly places across Europe and compiled them into a top ten for animal lovers, with scores out of 200 for each city.
Paris scored an impressive 188 out of 200, with a whopping 550 hotels that allow pets, 688 dog-friendly restaurants and more than a thousand pet sitters.

Rome has the highest number of pet-friendly hotels with 1,210 options to choose from - however it has fewer pet sitters than Paris with 295 registered ones.
Despite this, there are a lot of dog-friendly restaurants to choose from, so your dog likely won’t need a sitter, as they will be welcome in 904 places to eat. Madrid has the highest number of pet sitters in Europe at 2,421 and the third highest number of parks at 102. Pet owners can also find 496 dog welcoming restaurants and 150 hotels that let pets stay, too.
Coming in third on the list is London with a score of 169 out of 200 - the British capital lost poin.
