Saxony is popular with travelers for a multitude of reasons. The state, in the eastern part of Germany bordering Poland and the Czech Republic, is Germany’s number one cultural destination. It is also enriched with modern cities, historic and quaint small towns, low mountain ranges, water landscapes, expansive parks, gardens, as well as friendly, service-oriented hotels.
What many people do not know is that Saxony is also one of the leading German federal states in terms of its commitment to accessible travel in Germany and has a large variety of offers for people with special needs. The state has a wealth of accessible tourist offers for people with disabilities – both for cultural and city travelers as well as for active holidaymakers in the Saxon regions.
From the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains), Upper Lusatia, Saxon Elbland, Saxon Switzerland, Vogtland, to the Leipzig region with its castles, the Heath and New Lakelands and the cities of Dresden, Leipzig, and Chemnitz, these regions are beautiful and varied and are making great efforts to welcome the accessible traveler.
The Tourism Board of Saxony (TMGS) has exceedingly high standards for the quality of its products. They realize that the reliability and accuracy of its accessibility information on its website and in its brochures is vital for the success of the industry and so important to the end consumer. With this in mind, the Tourism Board of Saxony has made sure to test all of the offers for their accessibility and accuracy. Detailed and reliable descriptions of offers on the website lead to travel confidence and eventually to holiday enjoyment.
In addition to content for travelers with reduced mobility, there are special offers for travelers with sensory disabilities and for people with learning and mental disabilities, such as induction loops for the hearing impaired, inscriptions in Braille, special tours for the blind, or visitors with other impairments.
