🌍 Accessible Hidden Gem of the Week! Looking for an accessible hidden gem that most travelers overlook? This week, we’re shining a light on a lesser-known but fully accessible destination: Ljubljana, Slovenia! Ideal for city explorers who enjoy uncovering off-the-beaten-path spots, Ljubljana offers rich history, stunning beauty, and fantastic accessibility for disabled travelers. 🏞️♿ According to the official Visit Ljubljana website: “Ljubljana is a wheelchair-friendly city for persons with disabilities – you can access almost every part of the city with a wheelchair. The city is covered in cycling paths, which means there is no need to hop on and off the pavements. If we ignore the hills, the city is very flat, and if you feel like visiting the suburbs – go for it!” What’s your favorite accessible hidden gem? Let’s build a list of underrated, accessible destinations together! Share your recommendations in the comments below 👇 – we might even feature your spot next! 🧳 [Image Description: The post showcases two polaroid-style photos.
