Barrier-free travel plays a role in many people's everyday lives, be it through a disability, as a companion of a disabled person or at a chance encounter. Wikivoyage would like to contribute to making it easier for people with a handicap to travel by showing barriers and helping to overcome them so that the social inclusion of all people becomes a little more reality. We are not specialists on this point; in principle, these are only those affected who know best how they can be helped.
This topic article is therefore to be understood as a collection for the time being, the structure and content of which is only just emerging. We have discussions about this on the talk page of this article. People with disabilities, relatives and self-help and interest groups are invited to support us in setting up this article.
