Notes on accessibility
Pillnitz Palace & Park can comfortably be visited by wheelchair users. This is facilitated by:
- 3 wheelchair elevators at the Palaces and in the Palm House
- walkways in Pillnitz Park that are easy to move on
- only a few inclinations in the paths in the Park
- the Visitor Center to be accessed freely
In the museum, there are a few thresholds (of about 2 inches).
Unfortunately, the Palace Kitchen in the basement of the New Palace is not freely accessible for people with disabilities.
The flight of stairs at the Hillside Palace can only be accessed from the Elbe River cycle path coming up river from downtown Dresden. From the Lilac Courtyard, a historical staircase prevents unhindered access.
Die Schlossküche im Untergeschoss des Neuen Palais ist leider nicht barrierefrei zugänglich.
