Vancouver, nestled between mountains and the Pacific Ocean, is a progressive city known for its stunning natural beauty, diverse culture, and outdoor adventures. In addition to its incredible scenery, Vancouver is amazingly accessible for people with disabilities.

There you’ll find many hotels, attractions, restaurants, parks, shopping, and transportation that are accessible.  We took the Amtrak Cascades train from Seattle, Washington to Vancouver and we were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was with just a little planning ahead.  Plus, the train ride was almost completely on the banks of several scenic bodies of water, including the Puget Sound, the Fraser River and False Creek. 

The nearly 4 hour train ride, including a brief stop at the US/Canadian border, is highly recommended!  There were plenty of accessible taxis in Seattle and Vancouver, and once we arrived in Vancouver, we were met by an accessible van from  Vancouver Taxi and in just a few minutes we arrived at our hotel.
