Reykjavík is a case study in how small-scale design can deliver big accessibility wins. With flat terrain, wide sidewalks, and easy-to-navigate city centers, the capital makes getting around intuitive. Public buses are equipped with ramps and visual stop displays, while major tourist sites outside the city (like the Blue Lagoon) offer accessible changing rooms and water-entry equipment. Bonus: Iceland's inclusive attitude toward mental health and neurodiversity adds another layer of psychological safety for travelers.
