Travel Tips & Trends:
Accessible Travel
Travel is one of life’s greatest joys — and it should be comfortable and accessible for everyone. Whether you or someone in your group has mobility challenges, dietary restrictions, chronic health concerns, or cognitive considerations, advance planning is essential to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Unlike the United States, Europe does not have a universal law equivalent to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Accessibility standards can vary greatly from country to country and even from one site to another. While many destinations, hotels, and attractions are making strides toward inclusivity, it’s common to encounter cobblestone streets, uneven terrain, and historical buildings that were not designed with modern accessibility in mind.
​
To help us plan appropriately, please advise your travel consultant in advance of any special needs or conditions, such as:
-
Mobility or physical limitations (e.g., difficulty with stairs, uneven surfaces, or walking distances)
-
Dietary restrictions or food allergies
-
Chronic illnesses or medical needs requiring access to specific services or accommodations
-
Cognitive or sensory considerations that may affect pace, crowds, or environment
By sharing this information early, we can confirm the most suitable hotels, transportation, and sightseeing experiences, and ensure that your trip itinerary aligns with your comfort and capabilities.
Our goal is to provide thoughtful recommendations, realistic expectations, and personalized support so that every traveler can experience the beauty, culture, and history of Europe with confidence and ease.
Advance communication makes all the difference — with good planning, travel can truly be accessible to all.
