Disabled Travel in Europe


We have a client taking a fabulous European vacation right now. You may be wondering what is so special about this trip because we send many clients to great European destinations. When you are wheelchair bound, planning these trips can be more difficult. However there are some companies that make trips that once were impossible, something awesome for our clients. Imagine taking a wheelchair accessible ramp to the bottom of the hill in Naples or a handicapped accessible gondola ride in Venice. Another perk is having luggage delivered to your hotel room or cruise ship. This lessens the burden of handling luggage at the airport. Here are some details from one of our preferred companies that offers this service and we can book for you:

The Europe disabled travel agents at Sage Traveling use their expertise in European accessible travel to create custom accessible holidays for disabled and senior travelers. Disabled visitors to Europe will encounter challenges during their travels, but nearly all can be avoided or overcome if you obtain the proper information before your trip.
They provide you with accessible hotel accommodations, accessible transportation within and between cities, detailed accessibility information on tourist attractions, and custom accessible itineraries to move you efficiently between tourist sights. Europe Wheelchair Accessible Hotels
One of the primary concerns for disabled travelers is finding a hotel that is truly accessible. Many hotels may describe themselves as “wheelchair friendly” or say “disabled guests welcome” when their hotel may actually have significant obstacles for disabled travelers.
A step at the hotel entrance, an elevator too small for a wheelchair, and poorly designed accessible hotel bathrooms are common in many European hotels. The Europe wheelchair accessible travel agents at Sage Traveling will provide you with a truly accessible hotel room that meets all of your accessibility needs.

Europe Disabled Access

Many disabled tourists spend hours and hours before their trip trying to find out if the tourist attractions they want to visit are accessible to wheelchair users. Some museum, palace, castle, and church websites will contain accessibility information.  Often this information is very basic and does not answer all the questions a disabled traveler may have. When trying to find accessibility information through a phone call, you may encounter language barriers or staff members that are unfamiliar with accessibility details.
At Sage Traveling, a Europe disabled travel agent will provide you with detailed tourist attraction accessibility information including the location of the accessible entrance, the parts of the attraction that are not accessible, and restroom accessibility.
