Traveling with dietary restrictions can be hard. Whether it’s by choice or it’s simply needed for your health it can put a real bummer on the vacation planning. Many big cities are known to be vegan-friendly like London or Berlin, but did you know that these ten European cities are very vegan-friendly as well?

We picked these cities based on the ratio of vegan-friendly restaurants per inhabitant (source: Happycow & the vegan word). And of course, we’ll recommend you some of the cool vegan spots that our locals have spotted!
