The Relative Lieutenant wrote this after a visit to Vienna and he thought Vienna was more accessible than he imagined. It’s very compact as long as you stay inside The Ringstrasse – a horseshoe-shaped avenue encircling the medieval centre. But there are cobbles!! Here’s his review of the Michelin Starred restaurant Steirereck and I’ve also added some research on hotels to stay at for a weekend break. The research is just that as we need reviews from anyone who has been there and knows of good/cool/trendy and accessible places to stay or visit. you can contact on FB or twitter if you prefer:

Well, Relative Lieutenant made the mistake of going to Vienna in the summer (40 deg C) and of course all of the musicians were on vacation but I can report that Vienna is a disabled friendly city. Places you may want to try in Vienna, accessibility seems to be variable but they all look cool! The DO&CO hotel is a member of Design Hotels who say that it’s ‘extravagant accommodations feature teak woodwork and stone integrated into a futuristic vision of modern design‘. It does look good but only has one disabled room with what we think is a wet room (they said a wheelchair could get into the shower) and there is a disabled toilet. It overlooks St. Stephen’s cathedral and has a rooftop garden. The restaurant serves traditional Viennese cuisine, Sushi and ‘High-End Kebabs” – I’ve got to try one of those!! We’re giving it a provisional 2.5 BBS Ticks.
