Leash rules, off-leash hours and whether dogs are allowed inside are set locally and change without notice. Each listing here says what the venue or the responsible authority publishes, and the listing page links to the page we checked, so you can confirm the current rule before you set out. Outside a signed off-leash area, keep the dog on a lead.
No venue can pay to be listed or to rank higher, and no listing carries an invented rating or a stock photograph standing in for the real place. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will re-check it.
Heath and common land where off-lead walking is written into the rules, plus pubs with a dog wash in the garden.
Beer gardens older than most countries, a forest where the lake is legally open to dogs, and the most dog-tolerant cafe culture in Europe.
Brown cafes with a dog under the table, a designated dog beach on the Gaasperplas, and a canal-house hotel that takes one small dog.
Terraces where a leashed dog is welcome by law, the city's one official dog beach, and a brewery hall with room to spare.
Third-wave coffee with a water bowl, the first dog park in the old city, and a rooftop with a view over the Tagus.
An extinct volcano inside the city, a meadow where the whole town walks its dogs, and a rooftop brewery on the Grassmarket.
Send it in and we will check it against the venue's own information before it goes live. Venue owners can also send a photograph of their place — free, with the credit kept.
