Accessible travel: how to plan a wheelchair trip to Tokyo, Barcelona and Mexico City (without nasty surprises)

"Wheelchair accessible" on a hotel website means one thing in Tokyo, another in Barcelona, and a third (more dangerous) one in Mexico City. The first has a whole country built for accessibility since the 1964 Paralympics, with 90% of metro stations elevator-equipped and station staff trained to deploy portable ramps. The second has a perfect new metro and an old quarter (Gòtic) that destroys a wheelchair tire in two blocks. The third has zones (Roma, Condesa, Polanco) where you roll just fine and zones (Centro Histórico, Coyoacán) where you need a Plan B before leaving the hotel. This guide is for anyone traveling with a wheelchair (own, rented, manual or powered) who wants to know — street by street, hotel by hotel, attraction by attraction — what actually works and what doesn't. Data verified May/26, with official sources and real user reports (not hotel marketing). Tokyo, Barcelona, Mexico City — three high-interest cities, three levels of planning complexity.
