Barrier-free meetings in Thuringia

Thuringia - a conference destination for all

The good accessibility in the middle of Germany, state-of-the-art conference and event technology, creativity of the players and a high level of service in event planning and implementation characterize Thuringia as a conference location.

But that's not all - accessibility and comfortable meetings also play an important role for the locations or conference regions in Thuringia. Not only the needs of people with disabilities are taken into account, but also those with limited mobility - many important aspects for your conference planning. Don't worry, for us in Thuringia this is a topic close to our hearts and we have many partners in the state who have adapted to the special challenges. For example, 100 hotels, leisure facilities and sights already bear the "Reisen für Alle" seal, a Germany-wide label for barrier-free offers. 

Accessibility tested - the state capital Erfurt

The Thuringian state capital is a role model when it comes to accessibility for all guests! Erfurt is a founding member of the "Leichter Reisen - Barrierefreie Urlaubsziele in Deutschland" and holds the "Barrierefreiheit geprüft" certification of the Germany-wide „Reisen für Alle“ labeling system.

Numerous conference venues such as Messe Erfurt and the arena in the Steigerwaldstadion, sights and leisure facilities, as well as hotels and restaurants are barrier-free. The Erfurt Tourismus und Marketing GmbH offers various tours for guests with limited mobility, blind, visually impaired and hearing impaired visitors. Your conference guests can explore the city in the barrier-free Altstadtexpress or in the historic streetcar, a real experience for everyone. City tours in sign language or for blind and visually impaired guests can also be easily booked in Erfurt. In the city you will find the perfect base for a successful conference or incentive trip, where all your guests really get their money's worth and the focus is on enjoying the event!
