🚶 Good mobility is critical since we will be walking every day (average 2-3 miles) on uneven, cobblestone streets and will be transported via boat 🚤 for two days. If you are unable to maneuver through a major airport without wheelchair or cart assistance ♿ this journey would be challenging and you may not be able to fully participate in all activities.
