Looking to bring your furry friend along for a meal, coffee break, or hotel stay in Uppsala? This city has blossomed into a fantastic dog-friendly destination, with expansive green spaces and a bustling dining scene where dogs are now warmly welcomed. In this comprehensive guide, we map out 100 popular restaurants, cafés, and pet-friendly accommodations for your next outing.
Dog-Friendly Uppsala: From lively patios to hotel dog rooms
Uppsala is a delightful city to explore with your dog. Along the Fyris River, in the City Garden, and through the historic quarters, you’ll find plenty of lively restaurants and charming cafés where dogs are not only allowed on the patio but are also welcomed indoors in designated areas.
Planning a weekend trip or a spontaneous dinner in town with your dog does require some preparation to ensure you know the specific rules. Many hotels offer specially adapted rooms for dogs, complete with food bowls and dog beds, but these rooms are often limited and should be booked in advance.
If you’re keen on enjoying a relaxed pub dinner with your dog at your feet, you can easily reserve a table at BrewDog Uppsala. For a fantastic hotel stay where your dog is treated like a VIP, we recommend booking a dog room at Clarion Hotel Gillet.
For an exclusive coffee break at a historic royal patisserie where dogs are welcome in the lower section, it’s an excellent choice to visit Güntherska Hovkonditori. If you’re after a classic burger night in a relaxed setting, you can grab dinner at Bastard Burgers. Finally, if you’re looking for an affordable overnight stay with a convenient location, we recommend booking a room at Scandic Uplandia.
