If you’re looking for a great American city break, then Chicago
well and truly has it all. It’s got a rich and fascinating history (think Al
Capone and the Prohibition era), plus world-class museums and galleries.
Foodies love it too – it’s famous for its many farmers markets and
the quality of its restaurants (23 of them have Michelin stars!). But there are
also a few surprises too: who knew that it also has 15 beaches where you can
swim?
That last one is strictly for the summer however – in the winter
Chicago gets bitterly cold, and we’d recommend visiting in the warmer months
from May to late September.
The
foodie revolution has truly taken hold here in the UK. And some of the best
places to sample the finest in Britain’s local produce are, of course, our
farmers’ markets.
They are
heaven for those of us who like to try new food and drink, and they are often also
an opportunity to meet the producers themselves. The great news is that most of
them are also easily accessible for those of us with different mobility needs.
So, here is Quingo Scooters pick of the best accessible farmers’ markets in the
UK.
If you’re
a keen reader, then seeking out new bookshops is surely one of the great
pleasures in your life. For many of us, discovering a hidden gem in a new town
or city can be a getaway highlight.
But away
from the big chains like Waterstones (which are generally modern and
accessible, with lifts and wider entrances), what are the options? How accessible
are many of the smaller, independent stores?
Well, to
help you out, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to the five best accessible UK bookshops.
If you’re going to explore New England, then Boston will be one of
the highlights of your trip. There are few more historic cities in the US, and
it is a fascinating place to explore for a few days. There are plenty of great
galleries and museums, historic sites to visit, and also some delicious New
England seafood to sample.
Wherever you are traveling in the USA, public buildings are now required
by law to be fully accessible to those of us with different mobility needs.
San Francisco is one of
the most famous cities on the planet and an incredibly popular destination for
travellers. It is also one of our favourite cities – the perfect blend of
American, European and Asian cultures. Great shopping and plenty of cultural
highlights makes this a must-visit for any trip to the USA.
Of course, San Francisco is also famous for its hills, which can present a
challenge for those of us with different mobility needs. But there are a huge
amount of accessible activities you can enjoy on your next visit.
