If you’re a vegan looking for the best tourist destinations in Europe, the Danish capital of Copenhagen might be right up your alley.

According to the German-based search engine for vacation rentals, Holidu, Copenhagen is the sixth best city in Europe when it comes to having the greatest number of vegan-friendly eateries in relation to population size.

Amsterdam took top spot, followed by Paris, Lisbon, Stockholm and Berlin, while the top ten was completed by Prague, Vienna, Oslo and London.
