Using the app or any web browser you can find wheelchair accessible places worldwide. At the same time, Wheelmap is a campaign for more accessibility – and you can join in!
Wheelmap on the go
With the free app for Android and iOS smartphones, you are always well equipped to find and rate wheelchair-accessible places on the go.
What is Wheelmap.org?
Wheelmap is an online map of wheelchair-accessible places. At www.wheelmap.org and using the apps, everyone can easily find places, add them and rate them using a simple traffic light system – worldwide. Currently, over 2,3 million cafés, libraries, swimming pools and many other publicly accessible places are recorded. Wheelmap is available in 32 languages.
Wheelmap - how it works
Wheelmap is based on the OpenStreetMap. A simple traffic light system indicates the wheelchair accessibility of a location. With a few clicks the rating can be saved by the users: Green indicates step-free access. Places marked in orange are partially accessible and places shown in red are not accessible. WCs can also be rated and photos uploaded.

Why Wheelmap?
Accessibility info
Over 15% of the world's population has a disability. Information on accessibility is very important for this group of people and at the same time difficult to find. With Wheelmap.org we want to close the information gap on accessibility.
Responsibility for diversity
Taking a stand for diversity in society and actively promoting it is more important than ever. Wheelmap.org wants to set an example that people with different backgrounds and abilities naturally belong to it.
Equal participation
The Disability Rights Convention states that all people have a right to equal participation. At Wheelmap.org, people with and without mobility impairments can participate and awareness for accessibility in society is raised.
