Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Lisbon

We hope you’re enjoying our new series of blogposts on accessible getaways in Europe. For this post we’re heading to a city that is becoming increasingly popular for visitors from across the world, and with good reason. Although (like Rome) Lisbon is famous for its seven hills and its cobbled streets, it is still a surprisingly accessible city to get around for those of us who use mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Here is our accessible guide to the best that the Portuguese capital has to offer.

Tuck into the greatest custard tart on the planet

It’s a bold claim, we know. And you might not think that you like custard tarts. But the poor excuse for a custard tart you can buy in British bakeries really doesn’t do them justice: the Portuguese make the original and best. The ones to go for actually come from somewhere very specific: the Pastéis de Belém bakery in Belém, on the edge of Lisbon. The team there have been making custard tarts since at least 1837. The great news is that the whole of the restaurant and bakery is fully accessible to wheelchair users, so grab yourself a coffee and a plate of Pastéis de Belém, and enjoy.

Jerónimos Monastery

While you’re in Belém, we also thoroughly recommend that you pay a visit to the Jerónimos Monastery. This peaceful place offers a welcome break from the busy city and was built originally to commemorate the discoveries of the great Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama. Remarkably it took over 200 years to compete, but the craftsmanship and effort that has gone into this beautiful building is absolutely breathtaking. Despite its great age, the church and its peaceful cloisters are both accessible using a ramp.

Enjoy the sound of Portugal

If there is one thing that defines the Portuguese spirit (aside from incredible custard tarts and global exploration), it is the idea of ‘saudade’. It is one of those words that doesn’t really have an equivalent in English: it is something along the lines of ‘melancholy’, or ‘longing’, but neither of those really do it justice. It is a word born out of the Portuguese people’s love of exploring, but also of the love and longing for home that they feel when they are away. One of the best ways to get a sense of the feeling of ‘saudade’ is to listen to the traditional Portuguese folk music, fado. It is the music you will hear everywhere in Lisbon (and the country’s greatest fado singer, Amália Rodrigues, is buried in the city too).  Our tip is simply to head out in the evening and follow your ears to find the best live singers.

Make a splash at the Lisbon Oceanarium

The sea is everywhere in Lisbon, in the history of its most famous explorers and in the smell of grilled fish that fills the air. So, it is no surprise that the city is also home to one of the best aquariums in the world, the Oceanário de Lisboa. It is absolutely vast and has a huge range of creatures to see, with everything from live shows to exhibits examining how we can work to rid the oceans of plastics. It is also completely wheelchair accessible to all, and while it isn’t in the city centre you can easily reach it using the metro.

Did you know?

The city has a ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue overlooking it, just like Rio de Janeiro.

Getting to Lisbon

While there are often more affordable flights to Faro in the Algarve, flying to the Portuguese capital from the UK is still relatively cheap and easy. Fly direct, every day, from London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

Once you’re there, you will be impressed by just how accessible Lisbon airport is too. The team there offer an assistance service for travellers with special mobility requirements. It is called MyWay and you can find out more here. As always, we’d suggest getting in touch with the team there to make arrangements before you get on the plane.

It is also relatively straightforward to get from Lisbon airport into the city centre. We recommend using the Aerobus shuttle service, which runs every 10 minutes into the city centre. It is fully accessible for all, and is only €3.60 for an adult ticket.

Lisbon has both trams and an extensive metro system, although not every platform or stop is fully accessible to those of us who use wheelchairs or scooters. The official advice is to check the metro map before you head out.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Amsterdam

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.

So, with that in mind, here is our guide to great accessible things to do while you are in Amsterdam.

Visit the Van Gogh Museum

It is hard to think of any greater Dutch icon than Vincent Van Gogh (except Johann Cruyff perhaps). Of course this prodigiously talented painter has been hugely popular and incredibly influential in the years since his tragic death, but he went almost unrecognised in his lifetime. Unbelievably, this genius of the art world only sold one painting in his lifetime – and all this despite the fact that he painted well over 900 works of art. The Van Gogh Museum is doing its best to make up for lost time, and is a wonderful celebration of his life and work. It is also completely wheelchair accessible throughout. This modern building has been well designed with accessibility in mind, with ramps, lifts and accessible toilets too.

Catch a show at the Concertgebouw

There is always plenty on at Amsterdam’s leading concert hall. Even if you don’t go to an event it is well worth going along to enjoy the building itself. It was built in the late 1800s and is well renowned globally for the quality of the shows it puts on. You will find it easy to get into and around too. Although there are only a couple of areas for wheelchairs in the two main halls, it is fully accessible and you can still get a good sense of this wonderful venue. There are also seven accessible parking spaces right outside the entrance. If you would like to see a full programme of events coming up at the Concertgebouw, head here.

Lose yourself in the Rijksmuseum

The great news is that this jewel in Europe’s artistic crown has been recently redesigned, making it very accessible to those of us with different mobility needs. All of the many wonderful galleries at the Rijksmuseum are fully accessible and you will also find lifts to all floors and accessible toilets. It is impossible to list the many treasures that you will find within its walls, but highlights include masterpieces by Dutch giants such as Vermeer and Rembrandt, as well as countless examples of sculpture and crafts.

Enjoy a leisurely canal cruise

What do you think of when you think of Amsterdam? Bicycles, flowers, trams… and canals. Amsterdam’s waterways are world famous and taking a cruise on one of the city’s many canals is a great way to see the sights. So much of life here revolves around the water and we really recommend you take a boat tour to get a taste of the way people live here. There are a number of boat companies that offer accessible tours, with ramped access and some boats even equipped with a lift. The Blue Boat Company in particular has had some great reviews, and you can find out more about enjoying a tour with them by contacting them via their website.

Did you know?

Amsterdam actually has twice as many bridges as Venice!

Getting to Amsterdam

Flying in to Amsterdam from the UK is very straightforward. There are regular flights from the London airports as well as from Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle into the city’s main airport at Schiphol.

The team at Schiphol airport are incredibly helpful, but they do ask that you let them know beforehand if you’ll need assistance at the airport. You can get in touch with them here. You will find it easy to get from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport into the centre too. If you’re hiring a car then you can have help to get to your car: just ask the airport team. Alternatively there are accessible buses into the city centre and you can check the service you need here. Finally there is also a fast and regular train service, which you can find out more about here. If you are traveling in by train it is a good idea to make sure you have booked a hotel near the station to make things easier once you’re in town.

As we’ve said already, once you’re in Amsterdam you will find it a relatively easy city to get around. There are cobbles and some of the older tram stops aren’t so accessible, but generally you will find fewer obstacles than in most European cities. For a great guide to getting in and around the city, also take a look at the Amsterdam tourist board’s official site, here.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Berlin

For the fourth in our series of blogposts on accessible getaways abroad, we head to Berlin. The German capital is one of the most fascinating cities in Europe: rich in history, art and culture. It also very accessible for those of us with different mobility needs. So, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to just a few of the best accessible sights in Berlin.

Charlottenburg Palace

The spectacular Charlottenburg Palace was home to the Prussian royal family for hundreds of years, and today it is one of Berlin’s most popular attractions. It is a beautiful building, built in the late 1600s and with some of the best gardens to explore in Berlin. It is a great place to head to when the hustle and bustle of the city gets too much. While there are parts of the palace that aren’t accessible to those of using mobility scooters, the gardens themselves are. A stunning place to relax and explore.

Mauer Museum

Although it is long gone, the Berlin Wall still casts a long shadow across the city. One of the best places to get a sense of how it divided the city is to head to the Mauer Museum. It is packed full of exhibits from the Wall’s early days through to its fall in 1989, as well as stories of the many thousands of ordinary Berliners whose lives it affected so dramatically. There is ramped access and a lift inside to all of the exhibits on the different floors. It is also well worth heading to the East Side Gallery, which features the longest remaining stretch of wall, and examples of the spectacular art it was decorated with.

Get away to Museum Island

One island, five museums. Berlin’s Museumsinsel is home to some of the city’s most remarkable treasures, and it a must-see for any visitor. It is also very accessible, with all five museums (The Pergamon Museum, the Bode-Museum, the New Museum, the Old National Gallery and the Old Museum) generally accessible. You will find everything from the Gates of Babylon in the Pergamon to artistic treasures from some of world’s greatest painters in the Old National Gallery. For a general guide to opening times for specific museums on Museum Island, head here.

Take a tour of Berlin’s fascinating neighbourhoods

One of the very best things about any visit to Berlin is the sheer variety in the different areas of the city. Whether you’re into art, culture or just want to see how ordinary Berliners pass their days, then an accessible tour is a great way to do it. We really liked this one, that starts in trendy Kreuzberg, takes you to Tempelhofer Feld park and ends up in Neukölln. If you’d like to work out your own route, then the tour uses a list of accessible sites featured on the handy Wheelmap.org tool, which you can find here.

Did you know?

There were actually two Berlin Walls, separated by a ‘death strip’ in between them, and over the years 80 people were killed trying to cross from East to West.

Getting to Berlin

There are plenty of regular flights to both Berlin Tegel Airport and Berlin Schönefeld from the London airports, as well as Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Edinburgh. Both Tegel and Shönefeld have personal assistance services if you need them, and there are barrier-free shuttles available to the city centre.

If you’d like to find out more about getting around the city and more on the many accessible sites there are to visit, then Berlin’s official tourist organisation has a really useful site here.

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Copenhagen

This is the third in our series of blogposts on accessible getaways abroad, and this time we are headed to Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen. It is, without doubt, one of the most accessible cities in Europe.

When you consider that a third of Danes in the city use bikes on a daily basis, it is no surprise that so much of this fantastic city has been designed with wheels in mind. You’ll find it a simple and straightforward place to get around, with ramps in all the right places and accessible public transport links across the city.

Here is our pick of just some of best things to see and do while you are there.

Enjoy some world class Danish design

If there is one thing the Danes are famous for (along with their Swedish cousins of course), it is great design. The Designmuseum Denmark is a real celebration of this and is well worth a visit. It is a great place to explore the history of the Danish design tradition, and includes everything from contemporary furniture to ceramics and textiles. It also has a wonderfully peaceful garden and cafe if you need to take a break. You are able to take your wheelchair or scooter onto the ground floor of the museum, and although there is no access yet to the first floor, there is more than enough that is fully accessible to keep you busy. You can park in accessible bays outside, although you will need to get a sign to display in your vehicle from the reception.

Say hello the Little Mermaid

One of Copenhagen’s most iconic sights, the Little Mermaid is free to visit and completely accessible. Just head along Langelinje Pier and follow the crowds to find her. The story behind the statue really couldn’t be any more Danish: it was donated to the people by a brewer, Carl Jacobsen (who also founded Carlsberg), and was inspired by the famous Hans Christian Andersen story. It is a hugely popular attraction, but it is an important part of the city’s history and a must-see. To beat the crowds and the selfie-takers, we recommend paying her a visit early morning or in the evening.

Enjoy a traditional Danish lunch

While you’re down near the water (to be fair, you’re never far from it in Copenhagen), take the time to go and enjoy some traditional Danish lunch. While there are plenty of places to choose from we recommend Fyrtøjet in Nyhavn. It is easily accessible to all and the food is out of this world. We recommend the smoked herrings, but really you can’t go wrong.

Explore the halls of the Amalienborg Palace

Of course, we recommend you catch the famous changing of the guard at the Amalienborg Palace, which takes place at 12 every day. But the palace and museum themselves are also well worth exploring. The Danish royal family have links to most of the royal families of Europe, and if you are a history buff you will have plenty to keep you interested. The palace and the museum are stuffed full of treasures: one of our favourites is the imposing statue of Ogier the Dane, a figure from the ancient Danish sagas. There is level access into the museum and palace and throughout, thanks to a lift to the upper floors.

Did you know?

The Little Mermaid’s head has been stolen three times. Someone also tried to blow her up in 2004!

Getting to Copenhagen

If you are traveling from the UK, there are regular flights to Copenhagen from the London airports, as well as Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Copenhagen airport is very well equipped for those of us with different mobility needs. One of the best features of the airport is the accessible Assistance Centre, which has pretty much everything you need to rest and relax before or after your flight. It has an accessible loo, lifts, comfortable seats and a place to sleep if you need to.

It also couldn’t be easier to get from the airport to the city centre. It only takes around 20 minutes on the accessible Metro or train routes. For more information on general accessibility on public transport in Copenhagen, visit here.

A great place to start planning your trip to the Danish capital is at the official Wonderful Copenhagen tourist board site, here.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Rome

For this second blogpost in our new accessible getaways abroad series, we’re visiting one of the most famous cities in Europe: the ‘Eternal City’ of Rome.

With its ancient ruins, street cafes and fantastic food, Rome is wonderful city to spend time in. While there are few issues for disabled visitors here and there (not least, cobblestones and those famous seven hills), don’t let that put you off. Most of the city’s most famous sites are accessible to visitors with various mobility requirements. So, with that in mind, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to the very finest experiences that the Italian capital has to offer.

Relive the savage spectacle of the Colosseum

In a way it is incredible that the Colosseum is such a popular visitor attraction: it is after all the spot where many thousands of people (and animals) died horribly gruesome deaths. But then again that might be exactly why it still remains such a draw today. It is, of course, one of the most famous buildings in the world (Rome has more than its fair share of those) and you get a real sense of just how awe-inspiring a place it must have been in its heyday. Accessibility is generally good, although you won’t be able to take a wheelchair or mobility scooter into the cramped lower levels. There is ramped access to the ground level and a lift to the second floor.

Gaze in awe at the Pantheon

Apparently even Michelangelo himself was blown away by the beautiful Pantheon (and he must have been used to seeing some pretty remarkable buildings). The Pantheon is a truly breathtaking building: around 2,000 years old, it was first dedicated to Romulus, one of the founders of Rome. It has been added to and changed over the intervening years, but it is still the best preserved piece of ancient Roman architecture on the planet. The great news is that it is also very easily accessible for those of us using mobility scooters and wheelchairs, with a flat surface and a level entrance from the neighbouring piazza.

Did you know?

Many people think that concrete is a relatively modern invention, but in fact it has a much longer history. Both the Colosseum and the Pantheon make use of this versatile material, and the mix used by the Romans is actually stronger than many modern concretes. Incredibly, the Pantheon is also still the world’s largest free standing concrete dome: testament to the Romans’ remarkable understanding of this revolutionary building material.

Fall in love with the Galleria Borghese

Even in a city stuffed with treasures, Galleria Borghese is exceptional. This beautiful building was once the Villa Borghese Pinciana, home of the influential Borghese family for centuries. This is a remarkable art collection, and include priceless works by Titian, Raphael and Rubens. The accessible entrance is in Piazzale Scipione Borghese, and there is a lift to the upper floors. The team at Galleria Borghese recommend that you give them a call on 0039 068413979 to talk through any specific access needs you have. Entrance is free for wheelchair users and for one person who accompanies you.

The former gardens of the villa are also well worth a visit: they’re not far from the  Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo and were first created in the 1600s (although the public has only been able to enjoy them since the 1900s).

Explore the treasures of The Vatican

Bag two countries in one visit by popping over the border to the mini-state of Vatican City: the smallest in the world. The Vatican is, of course, a hugely popular attraction, not just among the world’s Catholics but also those who want to explore its artistic and architectural treasures. It is also a remarkably accessible place to visit for those of us who use mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Like many of Rome’s most famous attractions, it is completely free for wheelchair and mobility scooter users, but you will need to present your Blue Badge as proof of any disability in order to take advantage of this. There is a great visual guide to accessing the Vatican Museums here.

Have a coffee in a street cafe

When in Rome…. If all those crowds and the sightseeing gets a bit much, then do what the Romans do and take a regular coffee break. There are countless bars and cafes in Rome to choose from, many of them with seats on the street so you can sip your drink and watch the world go by.

A quick tip on coffee drinking in Rome though: keep it simple. Don’t bother asking for a fancy venti frappuccino or a grande skinny latte, as the Romans tend to drink simply ‘caffe’: a single shot of espresso. If you want to make it last a bit longer, then top it up with hot water (an americano) or have a macchiato if you like a bit of milk. Our recommendation is the Caffe Trombetta just off Piazza Del Popolo. It is on the edge of one of the larger more accessible piazzas and is a lovely place to rest and refuel for a while.

Getting to Rome

While it might not be quite true that all roads lead to Rome, if you are heading there from the UK it couldn’t be easier. Of course, carriers change their routes from time to time, but you can currently fly to Rome from Heathrow, Gatwick, Dublin, Leeds Bradford and Manchester. There are two Roman airports, the main one at Fiumicino (also known as Aeroporto Leonardo da Vinci) and Ciampino. There are also regular accessible shuttle trains (the ‘Leonardo Express’) from Fiumicino into Rome’s central Termini station which takes around half an hour. A taxi will cost around €50.

General accessibility advice

Thanks to those cobbles and the hills, getting around Rome can be a challenge, and the public transport can also be tricky to get on and off. There are a few other options however: you could take an accessible tour around the city, which either use accessible buses or even golf carts to get you to the best sights in town! The Rome City Council are also taking measures to improve accessibility around the city: find out more here.

Travelling with scooters

The great news for those of you travelling abroad is that Quingo Scooters are all approved for air travel by IATA so you won’t have any problems taking them on the plane. That said, it is always well worth getting in touch directly with any train, bus and airlines you want to use just to double check their rules on scooters before you go.
