<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Copenhagen is very dog-friendly. Although a Nordic country, Denmark is more continental than Norway and Sweden and I found dogs were allowed in more places than at home in Sweden.</span></div>

It was very nice of this hotel to put out a bed for Fritz. Little do they know he sleeps in my bed ...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcGgoqqAN2_ZA8a85WyVlAQKXGr1RY88pCXEruPMlnvJv0mzmuldCEFxF3vv6QNhkRAWKvIBX4Ax4WkSmVVU3bOXUBDeiNfod_6BuPTtcQs6ttBy7em_BD-c_pbpvN-8vqIHVDrSUdej0/s1600/IMG_5073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcGgoqqAN2_ZA8a85WyVlAQKXGr1RY88pCXEruPMlnvJv0mzmuldCEFxF3vv6QNhkRAWKvIBX4Ax4WkSmVVU3bOXUBDeiNfod_6BuPTtcQs6ttBy7em_BD-c_pbpvN-8vqIHVDrSUdej0/s320/IMG_5073.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A couple of times there have been hotels that have asked me not to let Fritz stay alone in the room. This can present challenges. Sometimes he's allow to come to meetings with me, but sometimes he needs to stay. Also, he does not like to be alone and will bark. A lot. <br />
<br />
My solution is that Fritz is crate-trained. In addition to his Sherpa bag, I have a <a href="http://www.supercat.se/transportvaskor/harda-transportburar/transportbur.html">transport kennel</a> that we bring with us. It's kind of a pain to have one more thing to carry, but it's worth it. Fritz is quiet when he's in the kennel and most hotels just don't want to have a loose dog in the room unattended and will let you leave your dog if he's kennelled. Usually, too, the airlines will not charge extra for the kennel, as it is empty and very light when it is checked in.<br />
<br />

On the back of a Geneva trip, we went to Les Diablerets and Les Mosses. Les Mosses has a 6.5km <a href="http://www.lesmosses.ch/fr/espacenordique/skidefond_lesmosses/ski-de-fond">cross-country ski trail</a> that allows dogs. Also, the ticket lady was very friendly and apologised profusely that she had run out of dog treats.</div>

Some airports are very dog-friendly, especially Stockholm-Arlanda, our home airport. When we went up to the KLM desk to check in for a flight to Amsterdam we were welcomed with 'we've been expecting you.' Other times, we've been let up to the front of queues and, well, they're just great. Cabin staff on another flight were most understanding when Fritz escaped from his bag and started running up and down the aisle ...</div>

Unfortunately, US airports we found were not so dog-friendly. Most places have dog relief areas, but they're outside of security and can be a hassle to get in and out of. After a total of about 13 hours (getting to the airport, flight, going through customs and immigration) Fritz ended up peeing in baggage claim in Newark. And most US airport have carpet... </div>

Anyhow, I've been yelled at for letting him walk around in Newark and Atlanta which I think it quite unfair. If you have a three hour layover after an eight hour flight, it's not fair to keep a dog cooped up in his bag :-(</div>

As of 2013, P&O Ferries no longer allows footpassengers to bring dogs. This means you must hire a car and drive it across the Channel on the ferry.<br />
<br />
Supposedly the <a href="http://www.seat61.com/dogs-by-train.htm#.UQAt-nZZ2ZJ">Dutch Flyer</a> is another option, going between Amsterdam and London. We don't have any UK travel planned soon, but I am sure we will try this in the next few years.</div>

Fritz and I took a weekend and visited the Christmas markets in <a href="http://www.heidelberg-marketing.de/content/culture__events/events/christmas_market/index_eng.html">Heidelberg</a> and<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/cruises/8841399/A-Christmas-river-cruise-down-the-Rhine.html"> Ruedesheim am Rhein</a>, both about an hour from Frankfurt by train. These were still quite popular, but no where as overcrowded as Frankfurt.<br />
<br />

<br />
Heidelberg itself is well worth seeing - it's got a castle, lovely old town and a scenic bridge over the river. Another tip - we couldn't find a non-touristy, yet authentic enough restaurant with free tables, so we ate at the cafeteria in the <a href="http://www.galeria-kaufhof.de/filialen/heidelberg-hauptstrasse/">department store</a>. Good value for money and a great view of the city.<br />
<br />
One thing I love in German Christmas markets are the kitch mugs. When you buy mulled wine or hot cocoa, you put down a deposit on the mug (rather than environmentally unfriendly paper cups!) and you can also keep them as souvenirs.<br />

Dogs are widely excepted in restaurants in Germany, but some go the extra mile (or kilometre). The sign here says that dogs are heartily welcome. <br />

My first German textbook was entitled "Neue Freunde" - or "New Friends" - and Fritz and I certainly made quite a few new friends in Germany. Germany is very dog-friendly and we met other dog-walkers and dog-lovers.<br />
<br />
I was in Frankfurt for work right before Christmas. The city has has some great parks, including a lovely one right along the River Main.<br />

We also visited the <a href="http://www.frankfurt-tourismus.de/cms/tourismussuite/en/events_trade_fairs_messe_frankfurt/christmas_market_Frankfurt_xmas.html">Frankfurt Christmas Market</a>. This is one of Germany's larger ones and it was packed! If you're bringing a dog I would suggest going in the morning on a weekday. We went on a Friday night and although we had fun, it was a bit difficult navigating all the people. We had better luck in the markets in Heidelberg and Ruedesheim am Rhein.<br />

In Stockholm dogs can almost always sit at outdoor restaurants and cafes, even if they aren't allowed indoors. But some days are not good for sitting outside.<br />

The '<a href="http://www.hundvanliga-stockholm.se/">Dog-friendly Stockholm</a>' site is invaluable (in Swedish). Within the city there are dog-specific cafes, regular cafes and a limited number of restaurants that allow dogs. Usually department stores and shopping malls also have restaurants and cafes where dogs are allowed. We like going to <a href="http://www.nk.se/en/nk-stockholm/">Nordiska Kompaniet</a> in the city centre, which you can see in the background behind the Christmas market in Kungsträgården.<br />
<br />
That said, a lot of places still do have year-round outdoor seating, with blankets and heaters. I saw people sitting at a cafe on the day this was taken. So, if you really want to...<br />

At the end of September 2012, Fritz and I went up to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalarna">Dalarna</a>, in the middle of Sweden. It's a beautiful bit of countryside, known for its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalecarlian_horse">horses</a>, history, skiing, forests and lakes - like Siljan below:</div>

<br />
I was only in Helsinki for about 25 hours for two meetings but it was a learning experience for several reasons......<br />
<br />
Firstly, do your homework on 'dog friendly' places. Like Stockholm, Finland has some great outdoorsy places, but slightly draconian laws about dogs near food. We got kicked out of an outdoor cafe. And out of the restaurant in the airport (although the staff very kindly served us outside in the outer-bar area). I have never been kicked out of an outdoor cafe or an airport restaurant!!!! I talked to our hotel concierge about this and he explained that the regulations are very strict on this, although there are moves to have it changed. If I had done my homework and read these sites on 'pet-friendly Finland' beforehand, it might have been a smoother trip:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">https://de.foursquare.com/user/1212139/list/dog-friendly-cafes-and-restaurants</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">http://www.petguidefinland.com/111</span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
Secondly, taking the ferry to Finland was an option I explored (<a href="http://www.vikingline.fi/index.asp?lang=en">Viking Line</a> takes dogs), but I didn't have a place to put him whilst I was at my meeting. And in any case I ended up requesting a late check out....<br />
<br />
...so, thirdly, consider researching pet baby-sitters.<br />
<br />
Finally, do you homework with entry requirements! There is freedom of movement (of people) within the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area">Schengen Zone</a>, but customs officials should still check dogs and cats. Fortunately (in this case) this does not always happen and there wasn't even a customs official on the desk when we landed in Helsinki. I had sort of assumed that entry requirements within Schengen were the same and that all I needed was his passport with proof of rabies vaccination. Actually, dogs need to be <a href="http://www.evira.fi/portal/en/animals/import_and_export/eu_member_countries__norway_and_switzerland/dogs__cats_and_ferrets/freguently_asked_questions_about_echinococcus_or_tapeworm_treatment/">treated for tapeworm</a> same as for entry into the UK. I found this out after I got home and was researching....also, Norway has also introduced tapeworm treatment for <a href="http://www.mattilsynet.no/english/news_archive/mandatory_treatment_for_echinococcosis_for_cats_and_dogs_imported_from_sweden_88041">movement between Norway and Sweden.</a> However - unlike entry into Finland or the UK which requires a veterinarian's stamp, you can administer the treatment yourself and sign a form 'on the honour system.'<br />
<br />
The point is - check at least a week before you travel on the 'official' site. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs site still states there are no restrictions between Norway and Sweden but the Food Safety Authority has the updated information. Similarly, About.com is incorrectly states that no tapeworm treatment is needed between Sweden and Finland, but the their Food Safety Authority (sort of) clearly states that this is required.<br />
<br />

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_archipelago">Stockholm Archipelago</a> (skärgård in Swedish), is comprised of over 30,000 islands and extends from central Stockholm out into the Baltic. We went out to the island of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnhamn">Finhamn</a> for some exploring.</div>

The <a href="http://www.waxholmsbolaget.se/visitor/archipelago-traffic/plan-trip/">boat ride</a> takes about 3 hours, but worth it for the views as it navigates through the island channels. Dogs have to stay on the bottom deck but that isn't a problem and all the boats have a snack bar and comfy seats.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once we got to Finnhamn we did some hiking. I have a pack from ToughTraveler that I have <a href="http://travelswithfritz.blogspot.se/2012/06/hiking-in-switzerland-may-2012.html">mentioned before</a>, but at this point Fritz has so much energy he is good to go for a day hike.</div>

General rules in the archipelago are that dogs are allowed off leash from end of August until around end of May but must be on-leash in the summer and in nature reserves. All of Finnhamn is a nature reserve so I was being a bit naughty here. <a href="http://www.finnhamn.se/index.php?id=20">Finnhamn</a> is also home to a great restaurant and an organic farm.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Swedes love taking dogs on adventures. Just remember a <a href="http://www.hurttacollection.com/en/lifeguard-en/products/life-jackets/life-jacket/">life vest</a>!</div>

Fritz likes to ride on trains.<br />

Each country's rail service is a bit different when it comes to trains. In Sweden, dogs must be pre-booked as there is one carriage designated for dogs. In the UK dogs can ride anywhere (although if the dog is taking up a seat or you have multiple dogs you may be charged extra). In Switzerland, tiny dogs are free, whilst small and large dogs need a 1/2 price ticket. Apparently dogs in Belgium cost up €2,20 but I have never been charged. Similarly, pets on French rail cost €6 if in a bag and the cost of a 1/2 price ticket if on your lap/nearby you but I have never been charged either.<br />
<br />
Generally assume dogs are allowed - except for the Eurostar which is absurdly dog-unfriendly in contrast to all the other rail services. Still a good idea to check the websites before you travel for more updated information. <br />
