Lisbon is a challenging city for people with mobility issues. It’s a very old city, and there are many uneven surfaces and places accessible only by stairs or steep hills.

We were based in the older part of the city so had to take taxis to flatter, more accessible areas. The cobbled pavements could be difficult at times and didn't always have lower kerbs to help with crossing roads.

There are no ramps for wheelchairs even in the modern area of Parque das Noscote.

Very difficult to use a wheelchair on the sidewalks of old Lisbon.
