About this destination
Barcelona’s accessibility has improved dramatically since the 2010 Universal Accessibility Plan. The city is not perfect — the Gothic Quarter’s medieval cobblestones remain a genuine challenge — but the seafront, the Eixample district and the major attractions have reached a very high standard.
The Seafront
The 4.5km Passeig Marítim from Barceloneta beach to the Forum is entirely flat, fully paved, and one of the most pleasant accessible promenades in Europe. Beach wheelchair hire is free from the lifeguard stations.
La Sagrada Família
The lift to the towers requires pre-booking the “accessible visit” option on the Sagrada Família website. The main floor is fully wheelchair-accessible and the audio guide system includes visual descriptions.
Park Güell
The ticketed monumental zone has a lift from the lower entrance plaza to the main terrace. We recommend arriving at opening (8am) for the accessible lift to be available without queuing.
Camp Nou
FC Barcelona’s stadium has 450 dedicated wheelchair spaces across all levels. The museum is fully accessible. Accessible parking is directly adjacent to Gate 9.
