Berlin may be Germany’s largest city but its dog friendly parks and neighborhoods make it feel like a much smaller town. Not surprisingly, it is one of Europe’s best cities to visit with a dog. According to the pet travel site Travelnuity.com, an impressive 70% of the hotels in Berlin allow dogs.

Louis and I also enjoyed seeing Berlin from the water Reederei Riedel allow dogs on all their sightseeing cruises. We took the daily Spree River & Landwehr Canal cruise. The route takes about 3 hours, and you can hop on in several different locations.
