Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Melbourne, Australia

Great weather, a fantastic standard of living and plenty of art and culture. It all adds up to making Melbourne one of the most desirable places to live in the world. It’s no surprise that the Australian city regularly ranks among the most ‘livable’ cities on the planet.

And while we’re not suggesting that you sell up and move there straightaway, it certainly makes for a great getaway. It is packed with plenty to keep you busy, from wonderful museums and art galleries to fantastic places to eat. And you never know, once you’re there you might never want to leave!

So, here is our guide to the most accessible sights in the wonderful city of Melbourne, Australia.

Enjoy some of the best food in the world

There are lots of cities that describe themselves as a ‘melting pot’, but Melbourne truly is the real deal. Generations of immigrants, plus Australia’s (relatively) close proximity to South East Asia make this country – and Melbourne in particular – a food-lover’s dream.

There is so much choice it is almost impossible to pick a favourite: whatever your tastes, you’re sure to find it in Melbourne. If you fancy Thai, head to Cookie. After a spicy, authentic curry? Check out Tonka. And finally, if you just want to sample some great Aussie food, we don’t think you can beat Cutler & Co..

Pick up a bargain at Camberwell Market

Melbourne does markets brilliantly. It’s home to the largest open-air market in the country (the wonderful Queen Victoria Market). But our pick is the excellent Camberwell Market. It is the perfect place to pick up antiques and curios.

Held every Sunday in a vast car part the market is easily accessible for those of us who use a mobility scooter. It’s not completely level but the stalls are wide enough apart to make it easy to get around.

The range of things you can find here is truly mind-boggling. From rare books to antique coal scuttles or vintage clothing, it’s the kind of place where you never quite know what you’re going to leave with. Happy browsing!

Get your art fix at the National Gallery

Melbourne isn’t all about food and shopping: it also has rich cultural life too. The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is a must-see. It is completely accessible and has over 75,000 works of art to enjoy.

As you’d expect there are plenty of wonderful examples of Australian art here, from the arrival of the Europeans to 1980. But there is also a fascinating collection of indigenous pieces that includes beautiful examples of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

There’s so much to see here that we recommend a guided tour if you’re pressed for time and just want the highlights. These run daily and are on the hour from 11am to 2pm.

It’s free to enter, and you can find out more about accessing the collections on your scooter here.

Explore the great outdoors

Wilson’s Promontory National Park (known as ‘the Prom’) is stunning. It’s the ideal place to experience some of the spectacular natural wonders of this part of the world. Parks Victoria have done an excellent job of making as much of this beautiful area as accessible to all as possible.

You’ll see everything from wombats to kangaroos here, but for us it is coastline itself that is the real star.

While not all of the trails here are accessible, the Loo-Errn Track has been adapted so that scooter users can access it easily. There are also TrailRider all-terrain beach wheelchairs available if you want to head out onto the sand.

Did you know?

Melbourne was very nearly called Batmania after John Batman, one of the founders of the city!

Getting to Melbourne

Qantas are the only airline to fly direct to Melbourne from the UK, and they have regular flights from London Heathrow. As always, we strongly suggest that you let the airline know of any particular mobility requirements you have when you book.

Other options include flying to Brisbane or Sydney and then taking an internal flight to Melbourne.

Once you’re in Melbourne airport itself, there are travelators and lifts to help you to get through the terminal. There is a full breakdown of all of the facilities available in their online accessibility guide. It also includes helpful maps of the airport.

The handy SkyBus shuttle is also fully accessible, and represents the quickest and easiest way to get to the city centre. It leaves every 10 minutes and costs $19.75 one-way.

For general information about getting about in and around Melbourne, head to the city’s official tourism site. It’s packed with lots of useful information, including a mobility map of the centre and help on using public transport. There are lifts at all of the metropolitan train stations and many of the trams also have low floors for access. Most of the buses are also accessible too.

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 Warsaw

Poland’s capital is often ignored by visitors to the country in favour of the historic royal city of Kraków. But we think that is a real shame: Warsaw is a wonderful city, with its very own UNESCO World Heritage Site at its historic heart.

It is a city that has seen some dramatic events over the years and has many fascinating historical sites. With incredible architecture, great museums and galleries and peaceful parks, there is more than enough to keep visitors happy.

Here is Quingo Scooter’s pick of some of the best things to do during a getaway in the Polish capital.

Roam around the Old Town

It is no surprise that the Old Town of Warsaw is also one of the most popular destinations for visitors. The area was built in the 12th century and is the historic heart of the city. If you love architecture, you will love the Old Town: from stunning townhouses to the Royal Castle itself, this is an area steeped in history.

Warsaw’s Old Town Square is packed with many fascinating shops and street sellers. One of the most popular spots for a photo in the square is the mermaid statue (syrenka), a symbol of the city which has been there since the 1800s.

Getting around on a scooter in Warsaw’s historic centre is surprisingly simple too. There are cobbles in many parts of the Old Town of course, but they are generally large and fairly level, making the going relatively smooth for scooter users.

Explore the Royal Castle

For a long time, Kraków was the residence of the Polish royal family, but they made their home in the Royal Castle in Warsaw from the 16th century. The building you see today is actually a relatively modern reconstruction. The Nazis destroyed it in the Second World War, and then it took another forty years for it to be re-built in the Communist era.

It is a beautiful building, packed full of historic art from old masters including Rembrandt. There are a number of tours available to the different areas of the castle, but we recommend that you get in touch with the team there first to discuss your own individual mobility requirements. You can either call them on 00 48 22 35 55 338 or email them here.

Soak up the atmosphere of the Royal Łazienki Park

Warsaw is blessed with one of the loveliest parks we’ve ever visited – the magnificent Royal Łazienki Park. As the name suggests, it has a number of gorgeous palaces to explore, and the park itself is simply a very special place to spend time in. It is a peaceful haven in the middle of what can sometimes feel like a big, busy city.

This is far more than just a park however. It is a creative space too. It is home to the very best of Polish culture – from regular open-air concerts of live music by the Polish composer Chopin, to the wonderful portraits in the Royal Picture gallery.

Take in the Warsaw Uprising Museum

One of the most dramatic and tragic periods in Warsaw’s recent history was the 1944 uprising by the Polish resistance against the Nazi occupation. Hundreds of thousands ultimately died during the battle for control of the city, most of them civilians.

While the subject is a dark and difficult one, it is a fundamentally important part of understanding both the city and the struggles that have shaped it. This museum is a great tribute to the bravery of the ordinary people of Warsaw and is well worth a visit.

The building can be a little tricky to find your way around, but much of the museum is accessible by lift. It is an unmissable experience for anyone who wants to understand more about the history of the country.

Did you know?

The city of Warsaw has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, giving it its nickname of ‘the Phoenix city’.

Getting to Warsaw

Getting to Warsaw is straightforward from the UK, with regular direct flights from Bristol, Liverpool and the London airports. Once you arrive at Warsaw Chopin Airport, there are excellent facilities for those of us who use a mobility scooter. The airport has recently updated its service for passengers with reduced mobility.

There is also the standard European Union special assistance service, which you will need to book at least 48 hours before your flight. Find out more here.

From the airport, you have a number of options for getting into Warsaw itself. There are taxis available outside Terminal A, as well as accessible public buses. Alternatively, there are also regular trains into the city centre. If you need help accessing the railway station, then use the special assistance service phone on the way from the terminal to call the team.

When it comes to getting around the city itself, you will find that the metro system is also remarkably easy to negotiate. The front carriage at least is usually accessible, and there are lifts to stations on both lines of the underground.

The news in terms of the buses around Warsaw is even better – they’re all accessible and the driver will always lower the ramp for you to get on or off.

There is a comprehensive guide to getting around the city on public transport 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.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Budapest

If you love history, great architecture and relaxing spas, then Budapest is the city for you. From the arrival of the founding Magyar tribes to the invasions of the Romans and the Soviets, it has seen a lot over the last few thousand years.

It all means that this is an endlessly fascinating city to explore. From medieval castles to Art Nouveau homes for elephants, there is so much to see here.

So, with that in mind, here is Quingo Scooter’s guide to some of the most interesting accessible sights in Budapest.

Explore the historic Buda Castle

This huge building has been around in one form or another since the 1200s. Today, it is home to the Hungarian National Gallery and is simply a spectacular piece of architecture.

The Gallery has a vast collection of artworks from medieval times to the present day. It is a great day out and it is largely accessible too. There are lifts to the grounds of the castle itself, as well as a lift access within the Gallery.

The place is huge however, so you’ll need a full day to explore. If your time is more limited, we thoroughly recommend that you visit the rooms dedicated to Mihaly Munkacsy. It’s a great collection from an artist who deserves to be better known outside of Hungary.

Buda Castle, Budapest

Experience the ‘Holy Right Hand’

The city’s St Stephen’s Basilica is a stunning building. Not only can it accommodate a remarkable 8,000 worshippers at a time, but it is also an atmospheric and moving place to experience.

Adding to the mysterious atmosphere of this great church is its most famous relic. In the main aisle of the Basilica is a glass case, containing the right hand of the country’s first king, St. Stephen.

It is a gruesome, but strangely compelling object. Whatever your beliefs, it is hard not to be impressed by the sight of the saint’s hand, illuminated by the light streaming in from the high windows. Unmissable.

Take the plunge at the public baths

Budapest has plenty of public baths and spas, but some of its most famous are the gorgeous baths at Gellért. Back in the days when Budapest was a part of the fashionable ‘Grand Tour’ of Europe, the baths were a popular meeting place.

The building itself is a master class in Art Nouveau design, and just a beautiful place to relax and unwind. There are plenty of accessible facilities too for those of us with different mobility needs. Everything from dedicated changing rooms to lifts into the baths themselves, making this the perfect choice for any visitor.

Enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the gardens and zoo

Anyone who reads our posts regularly will know we’re big fans of botanical gardens, and Budapest’s are an absolute gem.

Apart from anything else, they are one of the oldest in the world, and they also combine with the city’s excellent zoo. But the gardens are also just a great place to explore on your scooter, with level, accessible paths and a wealth of rare and unusual plants.

This being Budapest, of course it is also full of gorgeous examples of period architecture too. The Palm House is stunning, as is the uniquely wonderful Art Nouveau Elephant House.

Did you know?

There is a tree outside the Kempinski Hotel dedicated to the memory of Michael Jackson. Its trunk is plastered with photographs of the star.

Getting to Budapest

Budapest is an increasingly popular destination and there are regular direct flights from the London airports as well as Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Let your airline know 48 hours before you travel if you have any mobility requirements. The team at Budapest airport also provide an assistance service on arrival. Just get in touch with them via one of the dedicated ‘call points’ or book online beforehand.

Heading into the city is straightforward too. There is an accessible shuttle bus, costing €1.50, regular train services and taxis from outside Terminal 2.

Transport within Budapest itself is becoming increasingly accessible, although it isn’t completely there yet. There are both accessible trams and metro lines – and all the newer lines and routes are accessible. There are also plenty of new buses with low-floors and easy access.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Barcelona

One of the most famous cities in the world, Barcelona is also one of the most accessible. Its historic areas are surprisingly easy to get around. It is also a very modern city that has thought carefully about every visitor’s needs.

Incredible architecture, great beaches and wonderful food and drink: Barcelona has something for everyone. So, with that in mind, here is our guide to some of the best that Barcelona has to offer.

Explore the Gothic Quarter

It is one of the oldest parts of the city – but don’t worry about cobbles and uneven steps here. In Barcelona’s stunning Gothic Quarter, you will find it is actually largely flat and generally accessible. Most areas of the quarter are paved rather than cobbled, and are often pedestrian-only, making them a joy to explore on your scooter.


Head down the broad, bustling boulevard of La Rambla and then turn left into the Gothic Quarter. Most tours of the area begin in Plaça Sant Jaume. It has been the city’s political centre for millennia, and it is flat and completely accessible for scooter users.

Visit the Cathedral

Barcelona’s main cathedral is in the hilliest part of the Gothic Quarter, but don’t let that put you off. It is still a more than manageable slope for a scooter user, and it is well worth the effort once you get there. While this building is often overshadowed by Gaudi’s remarkable Sagrada Familia cathedral, we think it’s also well worth exploring.

The cathedral was built over six centuries (they don’t rush cathedrals here – the Sagrada Familia is still being built!) and is a stunning example of Gothic architecture.

You won’t be able to use the main entrance, although there is an accessible way in via the cloister entrance on Carrer del Bisbe. There is an adapted toilet in the cloister, and most of the interior (except for the crypt and the chapels) are accessible.

Take in some sea views

With all its spectacular buildings, we sometimes forget that Barcelona is also a city with a seafront. Miles and miles of it in fact, with most of it accessible via a level promenade that’s perfect for scooters.

All the city’s beaches are barrier-free, but we recommend heading to Barceloneta, the city’s ‘fishing quarter’. It is the perfect place to do as the locals do, and eat, drink and just enjoy the sunshine. It’s a great place to get tapas, or if you’re veggie, then try out ‘The Green Spot’. It’s fully accessible, and the food is gorgeous.

As for Barceloneta beach itself, it’s completely accessible, with dedicated areas for bathers with reduced mobility. There is also an adapted toilet and changing rooms, and a wooden path out onto the beach.

Explore Gaudi’s genius

In many ways, Barcelona belongs to the great architect Antoni Gaudí, and no visit is complete without seeing some of his remarkable creations. The Sagrada Familia cathedral is his most famous creation. This is also accessible just head to the Groups Services Centre on Carrer de la Marina or the Visitors Services Centre on Carrer de Sardenya to gain entry.

But it is also possible to explore his other buildings too. Casa Batlló is a beautiful (if slightly bonkers) building, which is almost completely accessible. Meanwhile la Pedrera, with its curved balconies, is also unmissable. Both buildings have accessible lifts to take you up to their rooftop terraces, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the city.

A great place to go for general accessibility information about many of Barcelona’s key attractions is the city’s official site, here.

Did you know?

We’ve been raving about how wonderful the beaches in Barcelona are – but there’s one thing you should know: they aren’t real. We don’t mean they don’t exist (they do, and they’re lovely), just that before the 1992 Olympics, there were no beaches. Now that’s what we call a legacy.

Getting to Barcelona

Barcelona is one of Europe’s premier city break destinations. So, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of options when it comes to flying to the city. From the UK, you can choose from regular, direct flights out of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Humberside, Belfast, Nottingham, Bristol, Newcastle, Cardiff and Liverpool.

At Barcelona airport there is a special assistance service – just give them a call on (+34) 902 404 704 or  (+34) 91 321 10 00 to book. As is the case in most European airports, you’ll need to give them 48 hours’ notice to arrange the service.

Getting into Barcelona itself is also straightforward. There is an accessible metro (L9 Sud) that takes you directly into the city. There are also regular trains and excellent buses with ramped access.

For more general information about getting around Barcelona on public transport (much of which is accessible), head to the city’s official transport 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.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible St Petersburg

Russia’s old imperial capital is an incredible place to get a sense of the grand history of this remarkable country. From vast palaces and museums to parks, gardens and memories of its revolutionary past, this is city that has something for every visitor. The great news is that much of it is accessible to those of us who use mobility scooters.

So, here are just a few of the highlights of Quingo Scooter’s accessible getaway in St Petersburg, Russia.

Get lost in one of the largest art museums in the world

The statistics that swirl around the Hermitage art museum are mind-blowing. Over three million exhibits. More paintings in one place than anywhere else on the planet. And the fact that even if you took just a minute for each piece, you’d still need 11 years to see everything!

But don’t let the scale put you off. The Hermitage is breathtaking, with highlights such as the Leonardo da Vinci room and the ancient Scythian and Greek jewellery in the Gold Rooms. The museum is largely accessible with ramped access to the main entrance and lifts inside. The museum’s website also suggests an excellent accessible tour of the key exhibits too.

Accessible St Petersburg

Take a cruise around the ‘Venice of the North’

There are a few European cities that have tried to adopt the title of ‘the Venice of the North’, but in our view St Petersburg has the strongest claim. It has beautiful buildings and a complex network of canals that weave through the city. Many of them pass by some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

As you’d expect, there are plenty of operators offering different cruise options, and it is a great way to get a sense of this beautiful city. However for mobility scooter users we were really impressed by this one – just give them a call to discuss your particular requirements.

The State Russian Museum

If the Hermitage is a little overwhelming then the State Russian Museum makes for a smaller scale alternative. This is still a huge collection (it covers pretty much the entire history of Russian art), but you can get around it a single day at most.

It is generally accessible, although they are currently repairing the lifts in the Mikhailovsky Palace and in the Benois Wing sections. The team there recommend that you give them a call before you go to arrange any particular support you might need on your visit. Their number is +7 (812) 314-64-24.

Roam through the gardens of Peterhof Grand Palace

The Peterhof Grand Palace is a must-see for any visitor to St Petersburg. It was originally planned out by Peter the Great as a palace to match Versailles in Paris. And in our view it more than stands up to comparison with its French counterpart.

The gardens in particular are perfect for those of us who use a mobility scooter. They are level and easily accessible, and are an incredible example of large-scale landscape gardening. The Lower Park in particular is great for visitors with different mobility requirements.

Accessible St Petersburg

Did you know?

Don’t be alarmed, but there is absolutely nothing holding up the 600-ton Alexander Column in Palace Square except its own weight. Apparently people were so worried about this that the man who made it, Auguste de Montferrand, walked under it everyday to prove it was safe.

Getting to St Petersburg

While you can fly from Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, the only direct flights to St Petersburg go from London Heathrow with British Airways or Aeroflot.

There is a great team at Pulkovo Airport Saint Petersburg and they offer a special assistance service for you on arrival. Just let them know in advance about any particular mobility requirements you may have, by giving them a call on  +7 921 981 83-44 or +7 921 858 56-71.

Unfortunately, public transport in St Petersburg is still far from accessible. There are taxis into the city centre available outside the airport (book at the Taxi Pulkovo counters inside the terminal).

There are other operators available, however we always recommend that you pre-book to make sure that the taxi is accessible (and legally registered). You can do that here, or by calling  +7 812 380 2478.

Although getting around this historic city can be difficult on public transport, there are plenty of companies offering accessible tours. One of our top picks is this one.

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.
