Destinations designed for accessible travel
Planning a trip when you have a mobility aid is not as easy as just picking a place you like the look of. There are important questions to ask, like ‘Is the public transport suitable?’ and ‘Will I be able to visit the places that interest me?’.
Here are a few ideas for cities, which have put thought into making travel open to all.
San Sebastián, Spain
A popular destination for food lovers, nestling in the Basque Country, this city also has accessibility on the menu. The flat city centre and promenade are easy to navigate, while public transport is fully adapted – with low floors and designated wheelchair spaces.
If you love the beach, this city ticks all your boxes with three to choose from. There are access ramps and paths on the sand – plus an assisted bathing system on the stunning La Concha beach. And main attractions – like the San Telmo Museoa and Aquarium – accommodate a range of mobility needs.
Munich, Germany
The historical city, pictured above, with a vibrant heart, this is a great short break option for those using a mobility aid. With wide pavements and ramps around the city, you can explore with ease – from the Marienplatz square, with its famous Town Hall and glockenspiel, to nearby cafés and shops.
Fully-accessible subway stations and low-floor buses and trams make it simple to get from A to B. And wherever you end up – in a museum, gallery or park, like the beautiful English Garden – you’ll find they’ve gone out of their way to make your experience effortless.
Vienna, Austria
Much loved for its music, art and architecture, it’s easy to see why this city is award-winning when it comes to accessibility. From the airport, stations and public transport to its flat centre with smooth pavements, it’s a capital that puts inclusive travel high on the agenda.
There are a wealth of accessible museums and galleries – including the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Upper Belvedere Palace. Even the giant ferris wheel – the Wiener Riesenrad – offers a barrier-free experience, with ramps designed to welcome wheelchair users.
Chester, UK
Home to rich heritage, breathtaking buildings and great shops, this northern gem was the first winner of the European Access City Award in 2017 – so you can book a trip with the confidence, knowing that spending time here will be relaxing and enjoyable.
The centre is easy to navigate – even the 700-year old medieval shopping ‘Rows’ and UK’s oldest, longest and most intact Roman city walls – thanks to smooth paths, ramps and level access. Chester Cathedral and Grosvenor Museum are fully accessible – as is the fabulous Chester Zoo, just 20 minutes on the bus. So there’s plenty to do, whether you’re travelling alone or with family.
So book your flights, grab your travel mobility scooter, and discover some of Europe's greatest destinations.
