Let’s get into it!
Baboo Travel has released its own Smart City Index 2025, spotlighting the destinations it considers leaders in accessible tourism. The ranking highlights cities with strong commitments to inclusive transport, hotels, and attractions — from Shanghai’s fully accessible subway system to Canberra’s 100% accessible light rail.
The list includes: Shanghai, Singapore, Wellington, Munich, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Beijing, Prague, Stockholm, and Canberra.
Each city reflects Baboo Travel’s view of where accessibility is most advanced, setting benchmarks that may inspire other destinations to follow. While this ranking represents Baboo Travel’s opinion, it provides an interesting snapshot of global progress toward barrier-free travel in 2025.
