Disabled Travellers

Disabled visitors have had a tough time in the city. Many public buildings have steps into them and the cobbled streets have high kerbs, but things are changing. The Association of Disabled People (Sdruzeni zdravotne postizenych, Praha 8, Karlinske nám. 12, tel. (+420) 224 81 69 97, ext. 238) can loan wheelchairs for 15-20Kč per day or 700Kč for a month. They also have specially adapted cars which can be rented for 5Kč/km.
Czech Railways, tel. (+420) 224 61 56 33, can pre-arrange transport at the stations and there are specially adapted carriages on selected trains . You should call four days in advance to make arrangements.
More hotels, restaurants and cultural venues are introducing disabled access. Some metro stations have disabled access and these are all well marked on most public transport/metro maps.
