Wheelchair-accessible holiday
Inspiration for your vacation when having disabilities.
Vacations are for everyone, also when having disabilities. We have gathered some inspiration for overnight-stays and attractions, where the companies have shown a little extra consideration for people with disabilities. The you can research from the comfort of your home, what you want to experience. We have only listed a few examples, but there are plenty more businesses and attractions which are ready to welcome you.
