With its steep cobbled streets and seven hills, Lisbon is difficult for the disabled, but not impossible - the Baixa’s flat grid and Belém are fine, and all the sights in and around Parque das Nações are accessible. Most public offices and agencies are required to provide access and facilities for disabled people, although private businesses are not. Lisbon airport is accessible, as are the larger hotels, which tend to have some adapted rooms.
