This website is based on pictograms or simple symbols giving information about the accessibility. Further in this website, you will find the explanation of each of these pictograms. A total of 24 pictograms are used. If a pictogram is printed next to a building, it means that the building meets the requirements for that specific pictogram.

Next to these pictograms, we have also tried to give some additional information, e.g. objective measurements that can be compared with the measurements of your wheelchair in order to determine whether or not a building is accessible to you. In many cases, you will also find information about additional facilities or other relevant information about the building.

Detailed information about the pictograms can be found, when clicking on the pictogram.

Underneath, you will find the explanation of the different pictograms. A pictogram is printed next to a building if all the conditions for that specific pictogram are fulfilled (unless otherwise stated).
