Ibiza, Universally Accessible City and Tourism



For years Ibiza-Eivissa Town Council has been working on being a municipality universally accessible to all people, a city in which its citizens and visitors can get around the entire city safely and without difficulties.

With the aim of improving the quality of life of disabled people, all the rehabilitation work that is carried out is to improve the pavements and the levels of accessibility in streets throughout the city, removing architectural barriers in the streets, beaches and public buildings.

For people with limited vision, we are adapting traffic lights with audible signals. Furthermore we offer an accessible website, and with the collaboration of the ONCE (Spanish National Organisation for the Blind) we have prepared a tourist guide to the city and the menus of the restaurants in Braille.

A city without barriers: improving the quality of life of all the citizens and offering accessible, safe tourism to our visitors is a priority for the city of Eivissa.

At the Touristic Informaction Ofice, you can ask for the Tourist Guide Ibiza World Heritage for visual deficiency people. These guide is available in Catalan, Spanish, English and German.
