Hello everyone! So my pup, Snuffles, and I left Singapore on 15 June 2022 and we travelled around Europe and the UK for 13.5 months. We just flew home on Singapore Airlines on 2 August 2023 and I thought I would do up this post since I know how everyone wants to travel with their pups! Here’s everything you would potentially need to know, I think, and if you have any questions, you can DM me on Instagram @kimberleyyeo or drop me an email at kimberleyyeo@gmail.com
Sicily
is one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been to. Even though
I only had just over a week to spend here, and it was a mad rush
visiting 4 different cities, I was really glad that I added it to my
itinerary. Sicily is, no doubt, one of, if not the most dog-friendly
places in Europe. Sure, Germany. France and Switzerland are incredibly
dog-friendly but our four-legged babies aren't allowed in supermarkets.
In Sicily, the supermarkets even have trolleys with a designated area
for your pups to sit in. I was so amazed and impressed! I love that the
people here love dogs! Here are the four dog-friendly hotels or bed and
breakfast that we stayed at :
Now, after you've booked those air tickets for you and your pup out of the country, it's time to start looking at accommodation options! Here's a list of dog-friendly hotels and airbnbs that we stayed at in Europe! The highlighted ones are really good, and the rest are at least, decent! We did not include the ones that we did not fancy, and we also want to take this opportunity to thank our friends who hosted us!
I would say that all hotels, except the ones in Greece and those under the Petit Palace group, charge a pet fee that ranges from 8 euros - 35 euros (sometimes per night, sometimes per stay). Airbnbs typically do not charge an extra fee for pets, but I do recall the airbnb in Bilbao charging us an additional 5 euros per day that we had to pay in cash.
Due to its proximity to Mount Etna and Catania, Taormina is one of the most popular destinations in the whole of Sicily. It's always packed with tourists and while there are plenty of accommodation options, Médousa Bistrot & Suites should be your top choice, especially if you're bringing your precious pup with you on vacation. The location of Medousa cannot be better — it sits literally on the main street, and is literally right across key attractions, and just minutes walk from all the popular sights.
Sicily is an underrated gem that’s not on the radar of many Singaporeans, but it really deserves to be.
Filled with surprises at every turn and corner, Sicily will dazzle you with its beauty, food, and wine. If you’re planning to visit, you definitely have to visit Palermo which is probably the most beautiful city in the whole of Sicily! Expect amazing architecture, unique street food, and unparalleled Sicilian hospitality.
Our visit to Palermo saw us staying 2 nights at Ai Tre Mercati, a bed and breakfast right smack in the thick of action. Located just a short walk away from the train station, the bed and breakfast sits above one of the busiest streets, right across popular attractions, and is surrounded by plenty of food options
The location is unbeatable — it’s safe, easily accessible and within walking distance of all major landmarks.
Sicily is incredibly dog-friendly, and I have no doubt that your pup will enjoy his or her time here as well!
