Inspiration for your vacation when having disabilities.

Vacations are for everyone, also when having disabilities. We have gathered some inspiration for overnight-stays and attractions, where the companies have shown a little extra consideration for people with disabilities. The you can research from the comfort of your home, what you want to experience. We have only listed a few examples, but there are plenty more businesses and attractions which are ready to welcome you.

If you want to explore more companies, have more details and pictures, you can check out Godadgang (accessdenmark.com)

We will update the experiences and companies on this site regularly, as we gain more information about accessibility.
