Lisbon is one of our all time favorite places to explore, eat, relax and just be. The city is absolutely stunning with vibrant tiled streets and buildings, and rolling hills that will make you think you're in San Francisco. If you're looking for tapas, pastries, and wine, then I don't think you'll find better. We stayed in Lisbon for 3 weeks with friends and family and would love to return some day. Here are our favorites!

The best food you'll find in and around St. Louis, Missouri. I've lived in St. Louis for 30+ years and these are the restaurants that I tell everyone about.

The views here were everything I was hoping for. Beautiful blue water and scenic coast lines. I absolutely under estimated how difficult, scary, but magically scenic driving through this part of Italy would be. If you are planning on driving, I would recommend the smallest car possible, planning your trips efficiently, and preparing to pay for parking.

A beautiful time of year to explore the East Coast.

This is an absolutely beautiful place on beautiful water, not to mention an UNESCO world heritage site. If you're here with your dog, I would recommend some early morning walkies to beat the heat in the summer months as well as the traffic. The roads are very narrow and most of the time without sidewalks (depending on where you're staying). The water is beautiful turquoise blue, cool and most of the time very calm. Perfect for jumping in and cooling off, or just hanging out with your neighbors.

We visited Inverness in Scotland in January. We can verify everything you've suspected about windy and rainy Scotland, but in January it's even more fun because it's freezing too. On the plus side, we did have most of the tourist attractions to ourselves. However, we were not as keen to leave the comfort of our warm and dry Airbnb to go and venture out to see some of the natural landscapes.

Home to arguably the best food and wine on earth. We loved Florence and the beautiful Tuscan vineyards and can't wait to return one day. You'll find our favorite restaurants, activities, and a few day trips included in this guide. Here are some travel tips: 1. The trains STOP at around 7PM; so make sure you plan your dinner reservations accordingly. The app you want is called "Trenitalia" - I've included a link to the app under "Day Trips" below. 2. Take all of your normal public safety precautions; pickpocketing and side scams are common. 3. If the gelato is mounded so high it's reaching towards the heavens, it's not for you. 4. If there are waiters outside waving you in with bold English menus, say "no, grazi". 5. Always ask if the establishment accepts credit cards before you order. 6. Prepare to tip your tour guides well, especially if your tour was "Free". 7. Do not pass up on a wine window!! This city's beautiful and unique, hidden gems.

We loved our time in this beautiful little town and surrounding countryside that's just an hour south of Dublin. There's so many wonderful and unique hikes to choose from and no shortage of pubs and restaurants either! There's only one cafe that allows dogs inside in town, but depending on where your adventure takes you, there are a few more options in the surrounding county. Bring your hiking boots or least sturdy footwear, you're not going to want to miss these beautiful, scenic walks!

Prague is a beautiful city, full of rich history, beautiful architecture, and some of the best brews around. If you're heading this way around Christmas time, then we have a stocked guide for you! Prague is a very dog-friendly city. In fact it's more rare that our good boy was not allowed inside a pub or restaurant; and they are allowed on most public transit here as well! During the Christmas season, things (very predictably) get a bit crowded, so it's always a good idea to make a reservation for the more popular attractions and restaurants. In fact, I would avoid the Christmas Markets altogether on weekends as it's a bit much, especially if you're bringing your dog with you.

I've come back to Galway, Ireland on three separate trips and have loved it more each time. I studied abroad here, came back to visit with my then boyfriend, and put this guide together after visiting with my now husband and our best dog, Copper. Most of the restaurants and pubs are not dog-friendly, unless you can sit outside. But the hikes, walks, and beaches and very dog-friendly, as are most of the people here.

We spent two months in beautiful Sayulita, Mexico with our dog and have details on all of our favorite restaurants, places to stay, and fun adventures! We've done extensive research on which restaurants are great (and didn't give us food poisoning), so you don't have to! Everything is also dog-friendly except for the group activities.

A beautiful town with plenty of amazing restaurants and beautiful sunsets on the beach, and hikes with stunning views.

Sarajevo is FULL of restaurants, cafes and bars for you to enjoy. The Bosnian coffee is one of my favorite things. Take some time and enjoy the full experience instead of trying to take it to go. Make a reservation for the fancier places, especially if you want to sit outside with your dog. The attitude towards dogs here is well mixed. Some people are very friendly with your dog and insist on giving treats and water. Others will jump out of the way and across the street when they see you coming. We only saw a total of 4 stray dogs during our stay and they seemed uninterested in our dog. The other local pets were a bit more territorial, so keep a respectful distance.

Cannes is a beautiful, sea-side city with plenty to do and even more restaurants to choose from. We visited in July and it was (predictably) hot! - I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's pronounced "Can" not "Cans". I know, I've been saying it wrong for years too. All recommendations come with this standard advice. 1. Do the activities/ touristy things early in the morning to both avoid the higher afternoon temperatures, as well as standing around in the heat because of the crowds of tourists. 2. Make a reservation! The restaurants are quaint; if they do have space, they will sit you inside after a super hot day with no air conditioning and you'll sweat it out in a corner. 3. Hydrate. 'Nuff said.

Bordeaux and Saint Émilion guide to Restaurants, Coffee, and Wifi! We spent two weeks in the Saint Émilion region, which is wine heaven. The wine and food are excellent, but the wifi situation was more than tricky. Here are our recommendations.
