- Lisbon is a beautiful city with a unique landscape, as it is built on a series of steep hills that offer stunning views of the city and the river Tagus. However, due to its hilly terrain, getting around the city can be a challenging task for those with mobility issues, such as wheelchair users or individuals with walking sticks. The city’s streets are often narrow, steep, and uneven, and many of them are made up of cobblestones or have steps that make it difficult for people with physical disabilities to navigate. The hilly terrain also means that many of the city’s landmarks and tourist attractions are located on top of hills, requiring visitors to climb steep inclines to reach them. While we to explore Lisbon in a slow-paced manner, taking frequent breaks to rest and enjoy the view, it may not be a feasible option for some individuals with mobility issues. Additionally, the city’s public transportation system, while comprehensive, may not be entirely accessible, as some metro stations and tram lines have stairs and narrow passageways. Overall, while Lisbon’s hills offer a unique and picturesque setting, it may not be the most accessible city for those with mobility issues. It’s important for visitors to plan their itinerary carefully, taking into account their physical abilities and any necessary accommodations.
