Scooter girl 58

Hi again

thanks for your replies, very useful. We are hoping to be able to use the ho ho bus and get off at Belem (mosteiro dos jeronimos side) and have a quick look around and go to pasteis de belem. Then back on the ho ho bus and stop off at praca do comercio and then back to the ship, we are only in port for 8 hours so I don't think we have time for anything else. If we find we can't do the ho ho buses we we have to use taxis.

Hi there,

I will be visiting Lisbon in June and was thinking of spending some of the day in the Belem area as I use a mobility scooter and this area seems to be more accessible than much of Lisbon. The only problem I can see is the underpass which goes under the coast road and rail way seems to just have steeps to access it. Does anyone know if there is away to cross here.

Thanks

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has used the ho ho bus with a small mobility scooter and did they have any problems and what are the best stops to get off.

Scooter girl,

In Tallinn did you scoot into the lower old town area? and/or Upper area?

We are trying to book our excursions now.

Thanks,

Yoletta

Hi Yoletta,

I did the lower old town area on my scooter with no problems. But be warned every where is cobbled, it's a very, very bumpy experience , some of the drooped curbs are not dropped enough as I found out when I took a run at one I thought I could get up, I was wrong!!!! On the plus side there virtually no traffic so at least you don't have to worry about being flattened.

Hi there,

I did a Baltic cruise last summer on my pride go go scooter. After much research myself and my friend did a private tour with Alla tours, it was amazing and worth every penny. We saw all the major sights over 2 days we had our one guide and driver who were wonderful. We toured the Hermatage and Catherine's palace with no problems, we even went down the underground. Our highlight was the church of the spilled blood, do not miss going inside. We saw much more than anyone we spoke to who had done the ships tours even thought they didn't need a scooter.

In Tallian we just walked (scootered in) about 10 minutes walk. It's a very bumpy ride but worth the discomfort.

In Helsinki we did a short ships tour and saw the rock church and other major sights.

I missed Stockholm as the ship could not dock and I couldn't use the tenders so had to cancel my trips but as the weather was awful that day I was assured I did miss much.

We went into Bruge on the Bruge on your own trip, with no problems but again the cobbles were uncomfortable but well worth it.

Copenhagen was very easy we walke in from the ship about 30 minutes walk to Palce square but it a very pretty and flat walk in, you go past the little mermaid on the way. We also went on a boat ride which was very good, I just left my scooter at the kiosk were we got on the boat.

In Warnermunde we didn't bother going to Berlin as it was 3 hours each way. We got a taxi to Rostock and the spent the rest of the day in Warmermunde which is a very pretty little place.

Hope this is of some help.
