Before you go
What the guide flags for wheelchair users.
- The south bank works; the bazaar and fortress do not. (Good for · verdict: caution)
- The south bank is flat with modern kerb ramps in places, but the Old Bazaar is cobbled and uneven, and Kale Fortress has steps and slopes. Pick a hotel with a lift, and plan taxi hops between clusters. (Accessibility · summary)
- Pavements: Wide on the south bank, uneven and cobbled in the Old Bazaar; some kerbs have ramps, many do not. (Accessibility)
- Getting around: Taxis and app cars are the step-free option; city buses are not reliably accessible. (Accessibility)
- Hotels: Newer hotels in the centre have lifts and accessible rooms on request; small bazaar guesthouses often do not. (Accessibility)
- Kale Fortress: Steep approach and uneven stone; the lower court is the easiest part. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
