I've been to (and enjoyed) Taipei and Venice. I've taken trains in France, Germany, and Italy. I know of wheelchair users who have been to Machu Picchu, Patagonia and the Galapagos.

Physical accessibility is important, obviously, but mental flexibility is an essential initial ingredient.
Firstly, a big yes to the order of priorities there - it's amazing what can be made manageable with determination, flexibility, and sometimes a little extra time or money.

Secondly, I think I'm going to FT stalk you now - one of my dad's dreams is to visit the Galapagos, and I'm still struggling to safely take domestic trips and very accessible cruises =/ Did you feel like you got the full experience there?
