Tourism pictograms

In our ongoing commitment to improving visitor care and making universal accessibility one of València’s defining features, we are taking another step toward making the city’s tourism offer more accessible to everyone, especially to those who may have communication or language difficulties. Pictograms allow for clearer and simpler understanding of information, making any traveler’s experience easier.

More than 60 different pictograms to help identify the main tourist attractions and services

We have collaborated with expert organisations such as ARASAAC and with the experience of the Valencian Association of Parents of People with Autism to develop this collection of pictograms. Thanks to this joint work, we have incorporated into the map of València visual resources that promote more accessible communication. Tourist offices, gardens, museums, theatres, beaches, hotels and restaurants now each have their own pictogram to make it easier to understand any location or resource in a simple and inclusive way.

The tourism sector now also has a resource that helps improve the accessibility of its business or service. The pictograms can be freely downloaded and used as signage at the entrance of an establishment, in communication with customers, on websites, social media profiles, or on any support. There are eight different categories:
