It depends on the level of disability, but generally not. Sidewalks are wide, though sometimes made of cobblestone. Buildings have ramps and elevators. Busses and the T-bana are accessible for wheelchairs. - Jan 2017
Sweden seems to very accommodating to those with disabilities, but many buildings lack ramps and elevators. - May 2015
Probably not much of a problem here, although many, many buildings have really tiny elevators (with manual doors and a sliding iron gate) that would probably not accommodate a wheelchair (and may have steps leading up to the entrance anyway). - Aug 2014
Slightly a problem, but I think most handicap people can get around e.g., there are ramps, special busses,rails in restrooms & showers,etc. - Oct 2008
Little. The sidewalks are well maintained and there are elevators in all the subway stations. Handicapped people are often out and about in the city. - Aug 2008
