DeafPlaces collects deaf-owned and sign-friendly places around the world. Made by deaf people, for deaf people.
Can I order here? Will the guide understand me? Is there a deaf club in town? We want you to know before you go. Then you can spend your trip seeing things and meeting people.
Ordinary reviews rarely say whether the staff sign. Deaf people know, but that knowledge is scattered across Facebook groups and conversations. We bring it together in one place.
We are two deaf people from Denmark. When we travel, we want to know in advance where we can use sign language. It was hard to find in one place, so we started DeafPlaces in Copenhagen in 2026.
I'm deaf and live in Copenhagen. I travel a lot, and meeting local deaf people has always been the best part. That's how I learn their sign language and culture. But abroad I often couldn't find them, and I'm sure I've missed many deaf restaurants and cafés. So I started DeafPlaces, to help deaf travellers find local deaf places and help those places get more visitors. In my day job I'm a software architect.
Søren is deaf and from Denmark, like me. DeafPlaces was Søren's idea. While travelling in Thailand, Søren had no idea that several deaf Grab drivers work in Bangkok. That kind of thing should be easy to find, so now we're building it together.
Deaf volunteers who check new places and fix mistakes in their own country.
