Accessible Cities

ENAT Accessible Cities logoIntroduction

European Cities have a major role to play in delivering good access both to their own citizens with disabilities and to tourists of all ages and abilities.

Many European Cities are working to build their reputations as accessible, liveable cities - vibrant destinations that offer a warm welcome to all visitors.

Here, at the Accessible Cities Home Page, ENAT publishes the profiles of those cities that wish to showcase their achievements and good practices. These are cities that are setting new benchmarks in their continual efforts to improve accessibility.
