The boat tours along the Bruges canals depart from several different locations. Some of the locations have stairs to get down to the docks (shown in the image on the left) and some have ramps (shown in the image on the right). Be sure to ask the staff if there is a ramp before you try to tackle any stairs.

Bruges has several excellent options for handicapped accessible hotels. Because of all the cobblestones found in Bruges, your trip will be much easier if you stay at a hotel within a few blocks of Markt Square. Be sure to confirm that it has all the accessibility features that you need (e.g. wheelchair ramp at entrance, roll-in shower, etc…)

Because the buildings in Bruges are centuries old, a few of the popular tourist attractions in Bruges are not wheelchair accessible (shown in the image on the left). Others have installed wheelchair ramps (shown in the image on the right). If you want to minimize the amount of time you have to spend rolling on the cobblestones, be sure that you find out which attractions meet your accessibility needs before you get there.

Identify where the restaurants are that meet your accessibility needs. In particular, look for restaurants that have outdoor seating (like the ones shown in the picture above) – you won’t need to go up a step or two at the entrance.

Disabled travelers to Bruges may benefit from renting a wheelchair to use during their stay. Alternatively, they may just want to use the loaner wheelchairs available at some of the museums (shown in the picture).

Like other medieval towns, Bruges does not follow an organized street plan. The winding streets can make it a little difficult to get your orientation. Before you get to the city, figure out which streets give you the most direct routes between tourist attractions.
