Brussels accessible for all

Brussels is accessible! Many attractions, hotels, and transport options are adapted for people with reduced mobility or disabilities.

Public transport everyone can use

STIB (the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company) bhg.common.blank_link_warninginvests hefty sums to ensure everyone is able to use its network. As things stand, all metro stations have a braille map and tactile floors to help the visually impaired to find their way, while more than 20 metro stations are wheelchair-friendly. The new trams and buses have low floors and automatic access ramps.

If you need to get somewhere not served by public transport, you can call the bhg.common.blank_link_warningTaxiBus door-to-door transport service of the STIB. You can also book a bhg.common.blank_link_warningspecial taxi for wheelchair users (FR/NL).
