More about Heidelberg

I am happy to report that Heidelberg was much more "disability friendly" than Paris.  In the "Old City" the streets were cobblestone or brick, which would make wheelchair travel difficult, but not impossible.  Some, but not all of the shops and restaurants were accessible, but most of the restaurants had outside seating.  This was perfect for this time of year, but I suppose is not ideal in winter!  However, the buses had ramps and wheelchair sections. We saw a number of people in wheelchairs using them without difficulty.

The newer part of the city seemed to be even more accessible.  Streets included curb cuts, and the train station included accessible bathrooms. We spent most of our time in the city in the Werkstattens, which of course were completely accessible.  I will get more info on the rest of the city and report back.
