What is a vegan travel guide, and why do you need one?
A vegan travel guide tells you more than where a city has food. It tells you whether you can actually eat it, what to order, how to get there, and what to do when the plan changes.
Most travel content is written for people who never have to think about ingredients. Most vegan content is written for people cooking at home. This sits in the gap between the two.
Every city guide is built around three useful layers: a clear overview, a verified restaurant guide, and an itinerary with meals already in the day.
When the hard part is the journey itself, practical guides cover airline meal codes, road trip food, grocery runs, and language cards that say more than “I’m vegan.”
Your next good meal
is already mapped.
Each destination has the same simple structure: what to know, where to eat, and a realistic itinerary that respects distance, timing, and appetite.

Then wander.
Good vegan travel is not about squeezing food into the gaps. It is about letting the places worth eating shape the day.

If this is your first trip as a vegan, begin with the fundamentals. A little preparation before booking removes most of the friction later.
Before you go.
Short answers to the things people wonder about right before they book.
Is it hard to travel as a vegan?
It depends on where you go and how much you plan. Major cities in North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia are usually straightforward with an hour of preparation. Rural areas and dairy-centred cuisines take more work.
What are the most vegan-friendly cities?
Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Portland, and Bangkok consistently rank near the top for options, though the best experience is not always the city with the most options.
How do I order a vegan meal on a flight?
Request the VGML meal code at booking and at least 24 to 48 hours before departure. Do not request VLML, which includes dairy and eggs. Bring backup food anyway.
How do I say “I’m vegan” in another language?
List what you do not eat: no meat, no fish, no dairy, and no eggs. Our language cards cover the full sentence in ten languages.
What should I pack as a vegan traveller?
At minimum, shelf-stable protein, a reusable container, and your language cards. The full packing list breaks it down by destination and trip length.
How do you choose which restaurants to recommend?
Restaurants are visited or directly verified, listed with specific dishes, and re-checked at least every six months. Brands cannot pay for placement.
