I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by the museums - they're VERY interesting and not at all dry, especially the new Darwin Center at the Natural History Museum. People tend to be quite polarised about the London Eye - but the ability to go up high above central London in a glass ball is fun for all. Richmond Park (if walking is ok) is a great trip ...

Take the Docklands Light Railway from the Bank. The trip is scenic past some very modern buildings built around the old docks of London. It is also cool with driver free trains for the technically interested. Get off at Island Gardens and walk west along the water to Greenwich foot tunnel. An old tunnel under the Thames with elevators or stairs in both ...

Further to earlier answers, the information given so far is bit vague and so might mislead. The EU spouse has very strong rights to travel freely within the whole of the EU (Schengen is irrelevant to this) with their spouse and children. These rights include the right for the Third Country national to live indefinitely and work in the member state ...

Maybe you know it already, but might be helpful for other readers, too: wheelmap.org It's an OpenStreetMap where users can mark if places/buildings are wheelchair accessible. You can filter the map to only show places related to tourism. Also, at least in Germany, some cities/areas have accessibility guides that list accessible hotels, free time ...

In a nutshell, travel in Thailand is super-easy. Basically, in any place of interest to travellers, you will find both all the facilities you need and people who speak enough English to guide you to them. Outside the absolute peak of high season (basically Christmas/NY), you can always find a place to stay, and booking hotels online is very easy: ...

Yes. It's possible, and safe (in terms of "Safety") but not always easy. The only challenge that you normally will have is that places are too busy. Since you are traveling in the high season with a larger group (2 people fit in almost anywhere anytime, a table for 8 will not always be getting a table). While summer is less of a risk than Chinese New Year ...

I guess that answer might depends on the country you are living in. I am in a similar situation as you are and I am not aware of any nationality related issue. What seems to be an issue is that many insures require you to be a resident (not a citizen) of the country they are in. I am for example a Dutch citizen living in Belgium, but I can't get Dutch ...

I don't see what the problem with the scenario is - I can buy travel insurance by simply telling an insurer that my family and I will be in Spain for two weeks, and that we won't be taking part in any risky sports (skydiving etc) They don't ask whether it is booked through a single travel agent or whether we are organising every bit separately. I am ...

Spouse of EU national visa situation depends on a few things, but as a rule assume that you need a visa, if for no other reason than to prove that your are a legite couple. FIRST, if you marriage has been registered at your ambassy and dully validated by the EU national home country, then every provisions of EU treaties AND national legislation applies. If ...

You'll still be required to obtain an entry Visa for your wife, unless she obtains residency in your home country. Unfortunately, Europe basically won't recognize your marriage in that regard until she obtains her citizenship in France as your spouse. Are bank account statements really an issue? You just get one and go to the consulate in Indonesia. Here's ...

Why didn't you read the directive? You would have found answers to your questions: "With a view to facilitating the free movement of family members who are not nationals of a Member State, those who have already obtained a residence card should be exempted from the requirement to obtain an entry visa ..." So, first of all the visa requirement is valid. ...

The best country to visit when in a wheelchair is most likely the US. All public places have to be wheelchair-accessible, and nobody steals the designated parking spots. What you want to visit depends on what you like most. There aren't that many old cities, of course (though e.g. Boston and San Francisco are nice), but there are plenty of amazing museums, ...

As long at the marriage is valid your eu spouse will get a Schengen visa for free and in 15 days. If you look at the Schengen visa application form you will see that some section have a star ("*") this means eu family members will not have to fill those sections that include finances and your job details. And no medicial insurance or any thing else needed. ...
