Accessibility planning starts before booking. Ask precise questions and confirm route details in writing when possible.

What to verify in advance

Category Key question
Route profile How many stairs and where are they concentrated?
Assistance What staff support can be arranged?
Rest opportunities Where are practical pause points?
Timing Which slots are less crowded?

Communication template

Use short, specific requests:

  1. Describe your mobility or sensory needs.
  2. Ask which route segment is most demanding.
  3. Ask for recommended entry time.
  4. Confirm available alternatives.

[!TIP] Generic questions get generic answers. Specific questions usually get useful planning details.

On-day strategy

  • Arrive early to reduce pressure.
  • Keep one person focused on logistics while others settle.
  • Use slower pace from the first stair sequence onward.

Respectful planning principle

Good accessibility planning is not special treatment; it is informed preparation. That improves the visit for everyone in your group.
