Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Moscow

Moscow feels like a city built for giants. The scale of the place is incredible. The roads are wide. The buildings are monumental and the parks are vast. And then, there is also the great weight of history in this ancient city.

Surely there are few other places (Berlin perhaps?) where so many momentous events have taken place. You can feel it in every brick and stone, red star and golden dome.

But then this can also be a surprisingly accessible city too.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Montpellier

Montpellier might not be one of the best-known cities in Europe. But we think that it certainly deserves to be. This beautiful French city is an historic gem, with a fascinating medieval centre. But it is also a vibrant, modern cultural hotspot that makes for the perfect getaway.

But while the comparison is a fair one, we think that Ljubljana deserves a lot more attention than it gets. So, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to some of the best accessible things to do in Ljubljana.

Accessible getaways abroad: Accessible Brussels

There is a lot more to Brussels than waffles and politicians, as we discovered recently. Because of its political importance, Brussels has become a true melting pot of different European cultures. And it isn’t a big city either, which means it is easy to get around. The great news is that many of Brussels’ best sights are also fully accessible to those of us who use a mobility scooter.

Great food, beautiful architecture and friendly people make Brussels the perfect choice for anyone looking for an accessible getaway.
