We start with the actual monthly weather data from each of our 100 destinations (EU climate normals, updated annually). Cities scoring 14-22 °C average daytime high get the highest comfort score; >26 °C drops sharply (heat-stress risk for dogs); <10 °C drops moderately.
On top of the climate score, we layer curated month-specific factors: dog-beach seasonal openings (most municipal beaches close to dogs from 1 May to 30 September), Christmas-market timing, festival crowds to avoid, and the rare cities that genuinely suit a particular month.
The final 6 picks balance climate + practical access. Each links to the full city guide with vet contacts, hotel inventory, and a live Booking.com map.
Each of our 100 European cities has a full pet-friendly guide with vets, parks, beaches and a live Booking.com map.
