Which of the New York Times’ 52 Places to Go in 2019 Are Truly Accessible?

Puerto Rico

Zadar, Croatia

Cory Lee, who blogs about wheelchair travel at Curb Free with Cory Lee, says the best parts of Zadar—the Sea Organ, the food and the islands—are surprisingly accessible, thanks to wheelchair-friendly companies like Croatia-Taxi and Easy Nautic.

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia

Jeanette Seitz, blogging at wheelchairtraveling.com, points out that Colonial Williamsburg has an excellent accessibility guide. And, while there are some second-floor exhibits, photo interpretations are available.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Vegas is truly for everyone, thanks to widespread transportation and hospitality that's compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. It's one of the 10 best cities in the word for wheelchair accessible travel, per Insider.

Danang, Vietnam

Southeast Asia doesn't always rank high on the accessibility charts. But the "Miami of Vietnam" is somewhat of an exception. Tyler Roney, writing for Travelogues From Remote Lands, finds Danang, and nearby Hoi An, to be more wheelchair-friendly than one might think.

Calgary, Canada

Calgary's stunning new library isn't as accessible as the community had hoped—self-checkout, for one, is almost impossible in a wheelchair. (The staff is working to address early concerns). And even though that's the highlight for the Times, there are plenty of other accessible activities across the city.

Huntsville, Alabama

Sylvia Longmire, of Spin the Globe, outlines the key accessible destinations in Rocket City—two of which are tied to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. "I was apprehensive about wheelchair accessibility there since it's not a very large city," she writes. "However, I was pleasantly surprised repeatedly by the city's beauty, modernity, southern charm and wheelchair friendliness."
