Disabled Visitors
Most of the tourist attractions and facility for disabled is found in the city of Krakow. This medieval district has been turned into the pedestrian mall with its streets and square is fairly at the level. The implementation of the Poland’s new building code came in mid 1990, till then all the new public buildings from office blocks to schools, shopping mall, centres, museums and theaters to housing development , and various on site facility, to be wheelchair accessible. Many Krakow hotels have common spaces and some rooms outfitted with the facilities for the disabled and furnished accordingly. For years the municipal public transport utility has taken care to order new buses and streetcars with low floors, wide doors, and enough free space to accommodate wheelchairs. The Wieliczka Salt Mines have been recently made wheelchair accessible after four-year, million-dollar adaptation, complete with elevators, ramps, and toilets.
