Hi all, I need your help, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a place in Europe to go just for a long weekend, that will be wheelchair and disabled friendly. Many thanks in advance

it Depends if you want a coast or town quite a few places in Majorca are quite flat even Palma is quite accessible as are the busses Salou is quite accessible and has disabled toilets along the coast know from experience that parts of Benidorm are very hilly but flat on coastline but vey cheap to hire mobility scooters not sure about towns hope that helps x
