Accessibility planning is not about reducing ambition. It is about reducing friction.

Core principle

Break the day into predictable segments with optional exits.

Route design framework

Segment	Target duration	Goal
Segment A	30-45 min	First major highlight
Pause 1	10-20 min	Rest + hydration
Segment B	30-45 min	Secondary highlight
Pause 2	10-20 min	Reassess and continue/exit

Sensory-aware planning

Choose quieter start times.
Avoid chaining dense crowd zones back-to-back.
Build short low-stimulation pauses between major attractions.

Practical notes

Verify current access details before arrival.
Ask staff for the easiest linking paths between selected points.
Keep your route geographically clustered.

Inclusive planning works best when flexibility is built in before the day starts.

Bottom line

A good accessible route feels calm, intentional, and fully worthwhile.
