Accessibility in Saxony-Anhalt means more than just the accessibility of individual buildings. 

Many cities offer special guided tours – whether in Quedlinburg, Magdeburg, or Lutherstadt Wittenberg. The routes, language, and content are tailored to the participants’ needs. Certified accommodations and restaurants ensure that travel remains comfortable – from rooms and bathrooms designed to be accessible to menus in large print and plain language. Cultural institutions and museums are also equipped to facilitate participation through “Tours for Everyone,” tactile models, audio guides, or programs in sign language.
