Essentials

Accessibility

Major museums and hotels are improving, but historic sites and old towns can be challenging. Plan ahead and confirm directly.

01

Museums

Many state museums have step-free entrances, lifts and accessible toilets. Ask at the ticket desk or check the museum website.

02

Old towns

Cobblestones, narrow streets and stairs are common in Kaleiçi, Mardin, Safranbolu and Istanbul's historic peninsula. Choose ground-floor rooms and short walking routes.

03

Transport

Airports and major metro systems have accessible facilities. Not all buses and ferries are step-free; taxis and private transfers are easier.

04

Beaches & nature

Some beaches have accessible ramps and beach wheelchairs. Confirm locally; natural sites often have uneven paths.
