Welcome to Japan! For foreigners traveling in Japan, Google Maps is absolutely essential. Wheelchair users can use it to check whether a destination has accessible facilities. If you see the little accessibility icon, it’s almost always fine—unless there happens to be temporary construction, which is very unlikely.

Hi all ☺️
We’re driving from the UK to Italy soon, and were wondering if anyone has any information regarding accessible parking? Specifically, if we can use our UK Blue Badge there?

I have a question about European opera houses. A catch-22 situation has happened to me three times recently. I am a (Canadian) wheelchair user. Within recent years, in order to book a wheelchair seat on-line, I must show a disability ID card certifying my disability. I cannot get such a card as I’m not an EU citizen and we don’t have these…

@Sonia do you have any suggestions for this?
Do you need to upload an image etc?
While it wouldn’t likely be officially recognized per se, you may want to get an Access2 Card. It does require a form filled out by a healthcare professional, so if asked you can show them the application requires that and it is the only…
