Hospitality and accommodation services

In order to assess the wheelchair accessibility of hospitality and accommodation facilities and public buildings, a methodology prepared by the Prague Organisation of Wheelchair Users and other organisations was used. Based on the methodology, the buildings were divided into three groups:

• green – accessible,
• yellow – partially accessible (assistance usually needed),
• red – inaccessible (the main problems include the width of door frames, such as toilet partitions in restrooms, assistance typically needed).

Sites and tourist destinations

In order to assess the wheelchair accessibility of tourist attractions (such as chateaux, museums and castles), the “Methodology for Assessing the Wheelchair Accessibility of Buildings” was partially applied; however, the methodology itself does not address the accessibility of tourist attractions. Therefore, three-level assessment system for buildings was applied and adjusted based on individual criteria and on-site findings:

• green – completely accessible (the courtyard, the interior and restrooms, etc.)
• yellow – partially accessible (the courtyard is accessible, the interior is partially accessible, the restroom is accessible with assistance)
• red – inaccessible (more information concerning accessibility is provided in the database under the attraction)

The colour symbols indicate the level of difficulty:

Blue trails – Designated for physically fit wheelchair users, wheelchair users with assistance, handbikes and electric wheelchairs. The routes follow paved surfaces with an 8% maximum grade, a minimum width of 1.8 m and stairs with a maximum rise of 2 cm.

Red trails – Designated for physically fit wheelchair users, wheelchair users with assistance, handbikes and electric wheelchairs. The routes follow paved surfaces with a 6%, occasionally 12% maximum grade, a minimum width of 1.2 m and stairs with a maximum rise of 5 cm.

Black trails – Designated for wheelchair users with assistance and field electric wheelchairs. Routes can follow paths that can get muddy when it rains; grades up to 12%, occasionally up to 20%, the minimum width of paths in flat sections is 1 m, stairs have a maximum rise of 7 cm.
