Traveling while vegan has become increasingly easier over the last few years. Not too long ago, vegans would struggle to find food options on menus, resorting to ordering sides instead of a meal.

HappyCow is one of the top online resources for vegans to find restaurants in various cities and countries while traveling. According to the vegan-friendly site, 10 years ago they had 625 fully vegan restaurants listed and today there are over 8,100 vegan restaurant listings. This alone shows that the world is becoming more open and interested in veganism.

Fortunately, HappyCow has put together a list of the 10 most vegan-friendly cities in the world. They determined the cities on the list by “the number of vegan restaurants in a five-mile radius in the most vegan restaurant-dense area in each city, the number of vegan/vegetarian/veg-option restaurants in the same five-mile radius, vegan restaurant count to population density, and the availability of festivals, meetups & community [in each city].”

Here are the 10 most vegan-friendly cities in the world, according to HappyCow.

1. London

In 2017, London became the first city on HappyCow to have 100 completely vegan restaurants listed. Today, London Town has 125 vegan restaurants in a five-mile radius within the city as well as 152 fully vegan restaurants across the city.

You can find fully vegan bakeries, cafes, juice and smoothie bars, and even a vegan cheese shop!

According to HappyCow, the largest vegan restaurant in the UK opened this year. Erpingham House, a Norwich-based, three-story restaurant serves hot beverages, juices, and food with the eatery turning into a cocktail bar at night.
