Before you go
What the guide flags for older travellers.
- Taxis between clusters; sights with lifts and benches. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- Rome is hard going for wheels: cobbles, kerbs and steps in the centre, few step-free metro stations and crowded buses. The big sights (Colosseum, Vatican Museums, St Peter's) have step-free routes that you should book in advance. (Accessibility · summary)
- Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: Uneven ancient paving and slopes; only parts are step-free. (Accessibility · fit: poor)
- Spanish Steps: The steps are the site; a lift exists at Spagna metro (check). (Accessibility · fit: poor)
