Most countries do not mandate accessibility in public accomodations to the extent the United States does.
Since the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act, any disabled person can sue a business and get statutory penalties for a lack of accomodation. Wrongfully denying a service dog can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Europe doesn't have this mechanism. There's less abuse of accomodations as a result. But nothing is wheelchair accessible.
