We’re visiting the
capital of Sweden, Stockholm, in our latest blogpost on great European
getaways. This island city is an architectural wonder, full of bridges and
beautiful old buildings. It is the perfect accessible getaway: quiet, cultured
and packed with fascinating sites. And, as you might expect from the country
that is obsessed with sound, simple and easy to use design, much of this great
city is accessible to those of us who use a mobility scooter or a wheelchair.
So, with that in mind,
here are our picks of some of the best sights to visit in Stockholm.
For this latest in our
series of blogposts on great accessible European destinations, we head to
Reykjavik. This small but perfectly formed capital city is a fascinating place,
full of rich experiences and an endlessly fascinating history. The scale of the
city makes it an easily accessible place to explore too: nothing is ever too
far away. Of course, the one slight issue is the weather, but in common with
most northern European countries (excepting maybe the UK!) the authorities are
generally good at clearing the pavements of snow.
In the latest of our
new series of blogposts on accessible getaways in Europe, we’re heading to
Madrid. For such a beautiful city, so rich in history, art and culture, it is
surprising how often it is overlooked by visitors to Spain, who are drawn to
the beaches or to Barcelona. But Madrid is a wonderful city to explore: and the
great news is that there are plenty of different accessible sights that are
perfect for those of us using mobility scooters.
We hope you’re enjoying
our new series of blogposts on the best cities in Europe to enjoy on your
mobility scooter or wheelchair. This time, we’re heading to one of the most
accessible cities in Europe: Oslo. It is a modern city with a long and ancient
history, and it is just perfect for a few days away. It is certainly a place
that has a lot going for it for the scooter user, not least an easily
accessible public transport system and many different accessible sites to
visit.
In the latest in our
new series of blogposts on the most accessible cities in Europe, we are
visiting a place that has an obsession with all forms of wheeled transport:
Amsterdam. It’s a city that loves bicycles, so as a consequence it is no
surprise that it is also a fantastic destination for those of us who use a
mobility scooter or wheelchair to get about. Add in an extensive and accessible
public transport system and the fact that it is one of the flattest cities in
Europe and you can see why it makes for the perfect accessible getaway.
