The world has changed in a big way. Cities that used to be near-impossible for plant-based travelers now have thriving vegan scenes. Cuisines that were always naturally plant-forward are finally getting the recognition they deserve
Planning a trip to Italy can feel stressful when you follow a plant based diet, especially since the country is famous for cheese and cured meats.
The days of surviving on plain rice, sad side salads, and an emergency stash of Larabars in your carry-on is over.
Whether you’re planning a trip to the UK, making your way through Spain, or doing a deep dive into the Bavarian forest, there’s a sanctuary worth building your itinerary around.
Amsterdam is absolutely, unequivocally one of the best cities in the world to travel as a vegan. Like, it’s not even close.
Between the jaw-dropping canal views, world-class museums, quirky neighborhoods, and an honestly ridiculous number of fully vegan restaurants, this city is basically built for us. Whether you’re into fine dining or grabbing something cheap and delicious from a street food spot, Amsterdam delivers every single time.
There’s something that just hits different when you come face-to-face with a rescued pig who’s happily rooting around in the mud, completely free from fear. Or when a cow who was once headed to a slaughterhouse walks right up to you and nuzzles your hand. These aren’t scenes from a feel-good movie — they’re what happens when you visit a vegan animal sanctuary.
There’s eating well while you travel, and then there’s really understanding the food. Taking a vegan cooking class abroad is one of those experiences that hits different — you come away with actual skills, a deeper appreciation for the local culture, and recipes you’ll be recreating in your own kitchen for years. Plus, you’ll usually eat an incredible meal at the end. Win-win.

Let me be real with you — when I first started researching a vegan trip to Bali, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d heard it was paradise, but would it actually work for someone who doesn’t eat animal products? Spoiler alert: Bali is genuinely one of the most vegan-friendly destination on the planet right now.
So you’re heading to Paris and you’re vegan. First of all — amazing choice on both counts. Second of all, don’t let anyone tell you Paris is hard to navigate as a plant-based eater, because honestly? The city has quietly become one of the most vegan-friendly destinations in Europe, and it just keeps getting better.
When I first went vegan, I had already scheduled my trip to Peru. So one of the first things that crossed my mind is: okay, but how am I going to travel?
It’s a totally valid worry. Traveling as a vegan adds a layer of planning that non-vegans don’t have to think about. But here’s what I’ve learned: vegan travel is not only doable — it’s genuinely one of the most rewarding ways to explore the world.
