Summer may be over – but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of holiday season. In fact, autumn can be a great time to travel, thanks mainly to there being fewer tourists in popular spots and cheaper deals available on flights and accommodation. Oh, and let’s not forget the beauty of all the Autumn colours in nature at this time of year. Wrap up warm and make the most of the outdoors before winter sets in.

Some places are more accessible than others, though – and if you or a member of your family are a wheelchair user, you’ll no doubt know this already. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to the best European cities to visit as a wheelchair user. Read on to find out more…
Paris, France
Ah, Paris. Its beauty is renowned throughout the world, which is why so many of us long to visit it. Aside from its visual, culinary and cultural charms, it’s also highly accessible for wheelchair users, as its numerous museums, galleries and other public spaces demonstrate. Both the Louvre and the Eiffel tower, for example, offer easy access for wheelchair users.
Munich, Germany
Munich has long been a tourist favourite – and it’s easy to see why. Its gothic buildings and iconic Romantic road are the key forces behind its aesthetic appeal, while its reputation for premium beer places it firmly on the culinary map. Better still, the Bavarian capital boasts a wide range of wheelchair accessible sites and attractions.
Rome, Italy
True, Rome was built on seven hills – but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users! The city boasts wheelchair accessible museums, galleries and other tourist sites, making it an excellent destination for all vacationers. Its accessible bus tours are worth mentioning, too.
Chester, England
