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.
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.
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.
Sometimes we all just need
to get away from it all to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. And
while a cheap flight and a few day’s holiday somewhere can make a big
difference, there’s nothing quite like going for it and really pampering
yourself at a luxury retreat.
The great news is there
are plenty of wonderful options here in the UK, and many of them cater to those
of us with mobility needs. Here is Quingo Scooter’s guide to some of the very
best accessible retreats in the country.
Aberdeen is a truly
unique city. Its architecture is defined by the granite that gives it its
nickname, and the culture of the place is very much wrapped up in the city’s long
maritime history. Here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to Aberdeen, the hidden jewel of
the north east of Scotland.
Enjoy the unique architecture of St Machar’s Cathedral
If there is one thing
you’ll notice when you head to Aberdeen (apart from the wind), it’s the city’s
stunning buildings. The city is largely built out of granite, and one of the
most impressive buildings is the ancient St Machar’s Cathedral.
