The main objective of the "Accessible Vienna" application is to support citizens or visitors with special needs in the city of Vienna. It is not only the infrastructure of the city that is important for their daily activities but also the information about the various places (e.g. restaurants, cafés, theaters) and public facilities (e.g. parking places, subway stations, etc.). "Accessible Vienna" is combining the Open Government Data of Vienna with the Google Places Data in order to materialize the main idea of the application. In this respect, it gathers information from the municipal data about parking spaces that are designed for people with disabilities, subway stations with elevators, accessible restaurants, cafés and theaters. This data is linked with data retrieved from the Google Places API regarding details about the accessible places (i.e. photos, ratings, website, Google+ and opening hours). Thus, the user is enabled to both choose an accessible place like any citizen by checking photos, ratings and other venue related information, and find information about the availability of the required public services (parking spaces, accessible subway stations) to reach the destination.
