Recently my husband and I visited Amsterdam. We were a bit worried about wheelchair accessibility as we couldn't find much online about it. However we were very happily surprised at what we found. Our first worry was about the trains from the airport to town. They were very friendly and also very accessible. Once we got to Amsterdam it was easy to get around. Even the trams are accessible. The hotel we stayed in (Hotel Rho right in Dam Square) was very good too. We had a wonderful time for the five days that we were there. I would highly recommend Amsterdam as a destination for both abled and disabled travellers. Bon Voyage!

Me and my husband are both disabled and recently visited Amsterdam and in our experience we found it a little awkward with steps either up or down, into most places most with no handrails, and very few ramps.
But still an enjoyable holiday. We are planning to go back very soon....
