Accessible Berlin
Travellers with special service needs have the right to travel without barriers and to use all tourism services along the tourism service chain. Accessibility is a necessity for people with disabilities. However, senior citizens and young families also benefit from accessibility measures. Many providers in the travel and tourism industry have recognised the need for action and are responding to the potential demand.
Why barrier-free?
Accessibility is one of the future tasks of tourism in Berlin: around ten million people with a disability live in Germany.
According to studies, accessibility is indispensable for 10 % of the population, helpful for 40 % and convenient for 100 %.
It is a segment with growth and great economic potential in Germany. The political importance of accessibility is growing.
Information on accessibility and a reliable certification system create planning security for those affected.
In the course of demographic development, the number of older people and thus visitors with limited mobility is growing.
Berlin wants to be a host for everyone.

Information on "Travelling for all"
visitBerlin is taking up the challenge of
"Tourism for All" and has therefore joined the nationwide standardised labelling system www.reisen-fuer-alle.de as a partner. For the first time, the necessary information is recorded by trained surveyors and assessed using clear quality criteria. This makes it possible for all travellers to obtain reliable information about tourism providers and to use this for their travel decisions.
"Travel for All*" as an information and rating system:
- Transparent and standardised nationwide labelling for barrier-free travel in Germany / Berlin
- Detailed and verified information
- Independent assessment of the offer by the guest, according to individual requirements
- visitBerlin is the licence holder of the project for Berlin and therefore responsible for the qualified project management
