About this experience

There are quite a few areas and venues in Budapest which are difficult to navigate for a disabled person, or people with a baby stroller or pushchair. We can adjust our general sightseeing trips to meet the needs of every member of a group. If there are wheelchair users or people with mobility difficulties, we can plan a route to avoid stairways and level differences. We know which monuments, restaurants and toilet facilities are fully accessible to disabled people, and those which are only partly or inaccessible without assistance. We can even organize an accessible minibus service for sightseeing if you book it with us in advance.
