| Travelling overseas is always an enriching experience, one that broadens and refreshes your perspective of the world. However it can present many challenges, from lost luggage to flight delays to bad hotels. For individuals with disabilities, it can present even more challenges.
There are a few cities that are ahead of the rest. They offer hospitality services, infrastructure, and transport systems that make travelling with a wheelchair or limited mobility easier.
In this article, we’ve narrowed down the best disability-friendly cities around the world. Accessible public transportation, ease of access to hotels and public attractions are some of the main criteria we used to determine a disability-friendly city.
If you are planning to travel abroad and are unsure of places that would be more accessible then here is a list of 9 cities that are capable of giving you a stress-free vacation. |
| At Lonely Planet we believe that travel should be for all – no matter your age or ability – and that accessible travel information is vital to making that possible. |
| Check out why Summer solstice is the best time to visit Stonehenge. Disabled access. |
| If I've learned one thing in the nine years since I broke my neck, it's that the world is not particularly well designed for disabled people. Sometimes the things that stop you doing stuff and getting places (or, indeed, the things that enable you to do them) are very small. Sometimes they are massive. |
| With the sunny weather and summer well and truly on its way, it’s time to start planning your holiday. So to help you prepare, we’ve asked Susie, who runs wheelchair travel reviews and resources website wheelchairworld.org, to give us a run down the top five accessible cities to visit if you use a wheelchair. |
| Most cities are utterly unfriendly to people with disabilities – but with almost one billion estimated to be urban-dwellers by 2050, a few cities are undergoing a remarkable shift. |

| Welcome to my travel blog, 'Curb Free' (2017 best travel blog award). Here on the site, I hope to share my experiences as a disabled traveler with you and many tips as well. Have you ever wondered:
How can I fly as a wheelchair user?
Which hotels are the most accessible?
What beaches have powered beach wheelchairs?
How do I charge my wheelchair in a foreign country?
What cities are the most wheelchair friendly around the world?
Check out the Facebook page as well!
If any of these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, you’re in the right place. On Curb Free with Cory Lee, my goal is to show you how to travel, where to travel, and most importantly, why travel as a person with a disability.

| One of my goals in life is to travel to as many places as physically (financially) possible and consider myself very lucky to have already racked up a few places on the map. Obviously travelling with a disability makes things quite a bit harder, but it’s not impossible. It is only thanks to friends and family who put up with pushing me around, lugging my wheelchair about and putting up with my toddler strops when I get hungry/tired/hot/cold/bored/in pain/drugged up/broken that I manage to go anywhere. |

| Some countries are easier to navigate than others, be it through ease of access around the city or the attitudes of the people living there. So this website is dedicated to my past, present and future travels and what it feels like for me, to “travel while crip”. The invariably awkward situations I find myself in and the rather peculiar questions I get asked. However, regardless of where you live, travelling while crip will always require more forethought, preparation and usually more money! |

| Hi I`m Cate. I`ve always been passionate about travel and prior to 2006 was able bodied and had done plenty of backpacking across Europe and South America. in 2006 however I had a spinal cord injury and thought my travel days are over as I`m now paralyzed from neck down and use a powered wheelchair. How wrong was I?! I`m using this blog to share my experiences (good and bad) of travelling in a powered wheelchair and hopefully helping others realise what is possible. |
| After I had my paraplegic spinal injury at age 18 I thought my travelling dreams were over and so focused on my career. After years of study I finally became a veterinarian. While being a vet is a huge passion of mine, I felt slightly jealous of my friends who were solo backpacking around Europe for months on end! I thought I would never be able to achieve this dream because of my disability. However one day I woke up thought ‘dammit’, quit my job and bought my ticket and thus the goal to backpack solo in a wheelchair was born.
I started writing this blog so that I could share things I found useful travelling in a wheelchair, places that I found accessible, places that were not and anything else I learned along the way.I hope that if you are a person with a disability wanting to travel (solo or with friends, backpacking or in hotels) that my story can help and motivate you to do so and prove that travelling is not just limited to the able bodied – anything is possible.
Happy travelling.
