My wife uses a power chair (cerebral palsy) and we love going to Amsterdam as it’s so easy to ride around.

Paris is also very good for disabled visitors but got a different reason: a great bus network that supports chairs (but the metro is gated by stairs)

The Seoul metro has level boarding and like a 2 inch gap, I’ve seen old folks drive their scooters right on.

Lived in Paris for 40 years: buses, sure, but sidewalks? buildings? Always thought it must be hell for chair users.

  Absolutely yes, if it wasn’t for the buses we would never go again.
  
  The first time we went, we had a normal push wheel chair. The walk from our hotel to the Louvre was about 25 minutes. But Paris is so damn hilly. I was dieing from pushing my wife around. We would turn a corner to find the path ends with a set of stairs so I groan and we turn around to find another route.
  
  Then we saw a bus turn up, lower itself down to meet the curb and a solo wheel chair user ride on. This changed everything and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the trip without killing me.
