Accessibility Adjustments Structures, Infrastructure and Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tourist sites in Old Akko, managed by the Old Acre and Nazareth Development Company Ltd., are accessible sites to the disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sites and their surroundings have areas and aids for accessibility, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Accessible parking near the Visitors Center and the Fortress (Knights Halls, Weizmann 1, Akko)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*For the benefit of overcoming height differences: disabled elevators, ramps and standard handholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Accessible services: in the Enchanted Garden and in the Ramchal Visitor Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Directional signage and orientation at the Company’s sites and in the Old City<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Accessible garden furniture (fountains, shade sheds, picnic tables) in the Fortress gardens, the moat garden and on the Sea Stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Auxiliary systems such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  +Vocal signage systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  +Tangible maps<\/p>\n\n\n\n
