1 ~~~ This Iconic Destination Was Just Named the Most Accessible City in Europe
Paris is the most accessible city in Europe for travelers with disabilities.
Traveling is a right held by everyone.
Seeing the world, experiencing new things, trying new foods, and making friends all over the globe is something everyone should be able to do, including those living with a disability.
If we're honest, not everywhere is easy to navigate in a wheelchair, with a cane, or if you need to move slower than the rest of the traffic.
However, there are a few destinations that rise above the rest for their ultra accessibility.
In October, Good to Go, a specialist travel insurance provider, released its findings analyzing which of the most popular travel destinations are the best for older or disabled travelers.
To find out which places are the most accessible, the team first created a seed list of the top 20 European cities based on the number of annual visitors to each.
It then measured each destination across multiple points, including forms of public transport, healthcare, and accessible restaurants/tourist attractions.
(Some data points were calculated per 100,000 people to avoid larger cities ranking higher unfairly.)
