This article will provide a practical travel guide for wheelchair users to help you plan a pleasant and barrier-free trip.


1. Planning and preparation

Destination selection: Give priority to cities and attractions with good barrier-free facilities, such as London and Berlin in Europe, Toronto and Los Angeles in North America, and Singapore in Asia.

Accommodation reservation: Choose a hotel that provides barrier-free rooms and confirm the facilities in the room, such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and spacious passages.

Transportation arrangements: Learn about the barrier-free services of the destination airport, train station and bus system in advance, such as wheelchair lifts, dedicated parking spaces, etc. When flying long distances, request wheelchair assistance services from the airline.

Packing list: In addition to regular luggage, bring necessities such as spare parts for the wheelchair, chargers (if it is an electric wheelchair), wheelchair locks and sunscreen.


2. Activities at the destination

Attractions: Research the barrier-free information of attractions in advance, such as the accessibility of entrances, restrooms and exhibition areas. Some attractions also offer wheelchair rentals.

Dining options: Choose restaurants with accessible entrances and call ahead to confirm. Many restaurants now offer online menus and reservation services for easy planning.

Emergency contacts: Save local emergency contacts, including phone numbers for hospitals, police stations, and tourist information centers.


3. Mindset and preparation

Stay optimistic: It is inevitable to encounter small setbacks during travel. Stay positive, adjust your plans flexibly, and enjoy the journey itself.

Seek help: Don't be afraid to ask others for help. Most people, whether locals or other tourists, are happy to help.

Share experiences: After returning from a trip, share your experiences and suggestions to help other wheelchair users plan their trips.


Traveling for wheelchair users may require more planning and preparation, but this should not be a reason to stop you from exploring the world. As society attaches importance to accessible tourism, the threshold for travel is gradually lowering. Take that step bravely and discover the beauty of this world!
