Milan, Italy

Barcelona, Spain
Home of the Sagrada Di Familia, Las Ramblas and Parc Guell Barcelona is a vibrant and exciting city to visit. All buses are guaranteed wheelchair access as well as 80% of the metro stations making it easy to get to the great sites. Beaches also cater for wheelchair access, with special mobility chairs to help you navigate the sandy terrain.
