Barcelona Disabled Access Review

While it still has its challenges, Barcelona disabled access is better than most cities in Europe. Consequently, I gave it a 5 Star Sage Accessibility Rating which is my highest rating. A relatively flat city center, wheelchair accessible public buses, and the presence of a few accessible beaches are a few of the most enticing aspects for Barcelona accessible travel. Stairs and long lines at some tourist attractions are a few of the accessibility challenges.  Learn more about the Pros and Cons of Barcelona Disabled Access.

Sagrada Familia Wheelchair Access Review

One of the largest and most unique churches in the world, the Sagrada Familia basilica is the must-see tourist attraction in Barcelona.  Unfortunately because everyone knows this, lines can be long but nevertheless well worth it. Wheelchair ramps at Sagrada Familia, some of which are steep, allow disabled visitors to see most of the church.  Stairs leading to the elevator will prevent some disabled visitors from reaching the towers.

Getting Around Barcelona in a Wheelchair

Wheelchair users like John Sage have specific accessibility needs that slow walkers and mobility scooters may not have.  While rolling around Barcelona, wheelchair users may encounter hills, cobblestones, curbs, long distances, and other obstacles.  Learn more about getting around Barcelona in a wheelchair.
