On a disability card in Switzerland
Almost every public site and major museum offers free or reduced entry on a disability card, usually with a free companion ticket. In the EU the European Disability Card is recognised in participating countries. Carry a card translated into English.
Check each site's own website first — most have an "Accessibility" page with a map of the step-free entrance, the lifts and the adapted toilets, and often a separate no-wait entry line.
