Travel. Travel Blog :: Entries :: Accessible Travel in Israel, Part 2: Jerusalem. Photo by: Paul Segal (Stock Exchange) Happy almost New Year! In our last visit together, we learned all about disability access in Israel, and had a whirlwind tour of some of the accessible travel options around the country. This time we’ll be zooming in and talking specifically about wheelchair accessible attractions, mainly in Jerusalem, one of the world’s holiest sites. Let’s go explore … Last time, I pointed out the range of disabled travel experiences shared at The Jerusalem Post’s Israel Travel Guide. The list of places to be improved include a number of iconic historical and cultural sites, though thankfully, many others have already had disability access options in place for years.

This guide to the Jewish Quarter includes information on independent tour guides and the Larry and Leonore Zusman Visitors Center for People With Special Needs, a handicapped organization that helps to maintain the signage, trails, and other features related to accessible travel.
