Trip Itinerary
I have crafted this accessible trip itinerary by organizing a team of local and regional partners who have the knowledge, equipment and staff to ensure that our needs are met. Through this group tour, we are able to account for everyone’s needs while offering a truly exceptional experience at an affordable price. There is no better way to explore Germany and Poland with a wheelchair or disability!
Day 1 (August 8, 2027): Arrival in Berlin, Germany
I will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), and you will be transported by our driver in a wheelchair accessible vehicle to our hotel, the Scandic Berlin Potsdamer Platz, for check-in.
Our hotel sits in a quiet area just 150 meters from the Potsdamer Platz shopping center, reachable via smooth, level sidewalks, with a wide range of accessible restaurants, cafés and shops within easy rolling distance. The wheelchair accessible guest rooms are spacious and include accessibility features such as an adjustable bed, roll-under sink, toilet with grab bars, and a roll-in shower with a built-in shower seat. Should you require alternate equipment to make your trip or stay more accessible, we can research and provide options for local equipment rentals.
Take the afternoon to rest or explore the local area on your own, before meeting the group for a welcome drink, tour orientation and dinner in the hotel restaurant. We will describe the tour itinerary in detail, and I will be available to answer any questions you have.

In the afternoon, we will visit the East Side Gallery — the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, transformed into the world's largest open-air gallery — before boarding an accessible boat for a river cruise on the Spree, taking in Berlin's landmarks from the water.

We will continue with a panoramic tour along the Kurfürstendamm, West Berlin's grand shopping boulevard, with a stop at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, preserved in its war-damaged state as a moving memorial to peace, and some free time "in the West" before returning to the hotel.

We will then continue to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, about 70 kilometers from Krakow.
