Lately
there has been a lot of talk about of accessibility in America, more
specifically Orlando Wheelchair VanRentals. But what if you eventually want to visit the old continent and are
traveling with an accessible loved one, what then?
Europe is
home to over 50 countries most of which have their own language and exceptional
things to see and do with an accessible loved one. Being that it has a
population that is aging, public awareness has influenced greatly in that
Europe has accessible tourism for people with both physical and mental
disabilities. Wheelers presents Europe’s most accessible cities.
Germany, Europe’s most accessible country
Just like
in the US there are cities in Europe that set the bar high when it comes to
accessibility and activities for everyone. Berlin is one of those cities that
everyone has been talking about. The German government has had to rebuild their
infrastructure from the ground up since 1990 and have been working with the
public since 2000 to create a more accessible society. They have managed to
build a fully accessible public transport system, broad sidewalks and tactile
guidance systems at road crossings, they are also making great efforts to
become 100% accessible and plan to have this completed by 2020.
Stockholm, Sweden a close second
For Berlin,
being Europe’s most accessible city was no easy feat. They had to go against
some major contenders such as Stockholm, Sweden which was for years Europe’s
most accessible destination. The city has managed to implement pedestrian
crossings with access ramps and contrast markings as well as accessible
playgrounds. They also created numerous navigational apps for people with
impaired vision to allow there to be an activity for all. All elevators, subway
stations, busses and hotels are fully accessible and cater to the needs of
anyone with any type of disability.
Accessibility in Rome
Although
the city’s floor is cobbled on every corner, the city has made major efforts to
create a more accessible environment by building ramps on the pavements and
full on most hotels, restaurants as well as churches, galleries and museums. It
may not have a Disney theme park so you won’t be able to solicit Wheelers Orlando Handicap Accessible Van Rentals but
Rome is a great city that combines both traditional and modern architecture.
Accessible Paris
For all you
Paris lovers you’ll be happy to know that although the city is not known for
its cleanliness, the two major attractions (which also happen to be a couple of
the most visited places in the world) the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are fully
accessible. The streets may be steep and cobbled but there are scooters and
lightweight wheelchairs available for rent and public transportation is also
accessible. So when you feel you’ve taken advantage of Orlando Accessible Van Rentals and wish to live a different
experience, visit Paris.
Accessibility in London
Streets in
central London feature wheelchair ramps and all hotels have 5% of their rooms
set up for mobility impaired guests. Public transportation can be a mess during
peak hours but all public transportation is fully accessible. If you find that
you’ve visited Orlando many times using Wheelers Orlando Handicap Van Rentals London would be a great destination to
visit.
WheelersVan Rentals may not have extended their coverage to European cities but they
still offer their services in most major American cities and their Orlando Mobility Van Rentals service is
being offered with free airport pick up and curbside delivery to ensure your
safety and comfort.
