Well there is one in Germany called Marburg. A lot of blind people live there and the university and stuff they say are very accessible. But I don't really know about other countries.

$1 here on page 16 you can find some information.

$1 here they also write about the city.

The most accessible city in the US for blind and visually impaired people is San Francisco. The transit is good. The services is good The only problem with San Fran is it’s expensive AF.

I'm in Chicago and if you live near the el it's pretty easy to get around and there are so many buses. Plus, the city is built using a grid system so it's a lot easier to navigate than cities like Boston.

Life long New Yorker here, the grid in Manhattan is great and the public transportation is good. Most residents don’t own cars.

That will be dependent on your skills. How are you for using transit (subway, bus, etc)? How about street crossings? Some cities are starting to put APSs at lighted intersections, but some are taking a lot more time to do it than others.

Boston is pretty good.

I assume you're not planning on travelling to a new country, so it might be useful to say which country you're in. If you're in the UK, I'd say Edinburgh: good bus and tram system and nowhere near as over-crowded as london. Downside is the amount of cobbled streets and the fact that in August it turns into a 3-week long party so becomes much more overcrowded than london.

Funny you ask. I've been thinking about packing up and moving somewhere else and I've been eyeing Seattle. While there visiting a friend I looked some things up, and apparently it's one of the most blind/VI friendly cities in the country.

Seems odd that there isn't some type of scale or test to rate cities for their accessibility. I've heard about city's "walkability" score - for getting around by foot. It would be great to have something for "accessibility". Maybe this would help make improvements in locations that score low and make it more noticeable. What city want to score poorly? Not sure who could come up with this scale/test but know where I reside will be a good benchmark for a failing score. Maybe National Federation for the Blind has something?

I’d say central Austin is pretty accessible.

I moved to Philadelphia for college last year after having lived in suburban and rural areas my whole life, and I found it pretty manageable (at least, University City is. Some parts of Philly are easier than others, but that might just be because I know some areas better than others.) It definitely took some adjustment and additional O&M, but honestly I now find Philly easier to navigate in most ways compared to where my parents live.

As a note, I spent my first year in Philadelphia as a cane user. I’m home now (thanks, Covid), but I will hopefully be getting a guide dog before I go back. I think navigation is totally doable with either a cane or a dog (though of course, I’ve only used the former so far. I have friends with guide dogs in Philadelphia who get around very well, though!)

Denver is a really accessible one, I live in Colorado Springs near the blind school and I go to Denver a lot for things like doctor appointments and stuff like that. Very accessible and easy to walk through. New York I also heard is really accessible. Basically, a lot of really big cities in the US should have a good public transportation and should be good for walking.

Littleton/Denver, Colorado seemed pretty blind friendly when my brother lived there though I never got a chance to visit before he moved back. He went to the school there and I think as a consequence the city was a lot more accessible to the visually impaired. The school was the Colorado Center For the Blind

Ann Arbor isn't bad. I'm legally blind and moved to the area strictly for the public transportation 10 years ago. Can't afford it so I live in Ypsilanti but still surrounded by buses.

LA is definitely a city built around the automobile but the county provides good transportation options. Bus and train services are free. There’s a personal door-to-door car service that takes you anywhere in the county for a very small fee. Neat places like the mountains, the desert, and the beaches are covered.

Major city. Nyc, frisco philly, chicago, stuff like that.
