According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in six people live with a disability, many of whom face frequent difficulties when travelling abroad.<\/p>\n

Consequently, data from GOV UK shows that those with a disability travel 75 percent less frequently than those without, and 25 percent of those that do report challenges when it comes to air travel.<\/p>\n

Yet flying abroad doesn\u2019t always have to cause aggravation, even for those who suffer from a disability, including the elderly.<\/p>\n

Travel agency Iglu Cruise have looked into the matter and researched the European cities that are the most inclusive and disability-friendly.<\/p>\n

By gathering data from TripAdvisor and Wheelmap, the study investigated the number of accessible hotels, restaurants, leisure activities and tourist attractions per 100,000 people of the population for each city, to determine which cities were the most accessible.<\/p>\n

There are around 374 accessible hotels in the Portuguese capital, per 100,000 of the population, as well as 206.7 restaurants, 7.3 tourist attractions and 3.9 leisure activities.<\/p>\n

Rome comes in at second, with an equally impressive number of accessible hotels (292) and restaurants (156), whilst Paris \u2013 despite overcoming its bedbug issue \u2013 ranks third on the list.<\/p>\n
