Italy is my favorite country to visit and has been for over a decade. For years, my husband and I loved walking down its cobbled streets. We enjoyed that every city seemed so “walkable”—a trait not possible in our US city where a car was needed to get most everywhere.
Then, a back injury rendered my husband mobility-challenged. Travel to Italy was a lot more difficult. But I knew it wasn’t impossible…and I was determined to create rich experiences for us like we had enjoyed pre-disability. I dove into websites and emailed tourism offices to inquire about how best to get around Italian cities. I kept hearing though, “it’s okay, [fill-in-the-blank city] is easily walkable.”
That’s great…if you can walk!
In order to continue traveling and enjoying the country we loved so dear, I navigated the bureaucracies and cultural differences to create accessible experiences for my husband, so he could fully enjoy Italy. And, because I want you to travel to amazing historical sites, I’m sharing them with you.
Here are some of my travel tips for what mobility-challenged travelers need to know about accessible Italy.
What to Expect: The Reality of Accessibility in Italy
Italy is an open-air museum. That’s part of its beauty…and part of the challenge. You’ll encounter: uneven cobblestones, steep hills, narrow doorways and tight spaces, and an older infrastructure as a whole. Elevators can be small, nonexistent, or start on the first floor (which for North Americans is the 2nd floor). These negatives though are not insurmountable!
You’ll also find increasing accessibility efforts at major sites, helpful staff (especially when assistance is requested in advance), and workarounds that make visiting iconic places possible
If you’re wondering whether Italy is wheelchair accessible…it is partially accessible, but it’s not consistent. If you’re not wheelchair bound, you will find Italy easier to navigate. But no matter what, Italy isn’t a “show up and figure it out” destination and you will need to plan ahead.
Accessible Transportation in Italy
Transportation in Italy can be hit or miss for accessibility. Public transportation varies by city and some cities focus on their walkability (which isn’t great if you have difficulty walking). There are options though. Here are various transportation options for Italy that are wheelchair friendly or suitable for those with mobility challenges.
Trains (Your Best Friend)
Italy’s train system is one of the easiest ways to travel with mobility needs. The most important resource: Sala Blu.
This service helps coordinate:
- Boarding assistance
- Wheelchair access
- Staff support at stations
Once you have booked your ticket (no earlier than 30 days in advance), email their office (salablu.nazionale@rfi.it) and let them know what assistance you will need, whether you will be bringing your own mobility device, whether you can walk up a couple steps into the train car (or whether you will need them to use the wheelchair lift), and your trip details. The Sala Blu agents will pick you up at an agreed upon place at the train station and take you to train or vice-versa. This is a free service and has been a great assistance to us in the past. You’ll need to request assistance in advance (generally at least the day before), but once you do, the experience is smooth and well-organized.
Airports
Contact your air carrier and reserve mobility assistance. Most carriers will transport you from check-in to the gate and from the gate to transportation. This service includes getting you through security and customs/passport control. Note that, in Italy, they take getting you from and to your plane, seriously. The system is very efficient but big airports might have a wait time since it is generally a first-come system with those with connections to another flight prioritized. I recommend having your travel companions stay with you, since the line for security/customs is expedited for those with mobility issues. Staying together prevents one traveler for having to wait potentially a long time for the other.
Airports throughout Italy offer: wheelchair assistance, priority boarding, and escort services. Always request assistance when booking your flight. Here is a blog I’ve created that may help: https://roaminghistorian.com/2023/04/16/airport-wheelchair-assistance-accessible-travel/
Public Transportation
Taxis are often a good Italian transportation option (many offer a disability discount), so locate the taxi information for each city. Each city might have a couple of taxi companies who have their own phone numbers and, perhaps, their own apps. Some taxis will have a WhatsApp option, too, but I still suggest making sure your phone plan allow for low-cost calling in Italy because not all taxis have WhatsApp, we’ve had to hold for an operator for a long time, and more apps have failed for us than worked.
You generally cannot hail a taxi. You have to either arrange for one to pick you up or go to a taxi stand and wait for one to arrive. If you don’t feel comfortable calling one, you can have places call taxis for you. I’ve found that Italians are very helpful in this regard and will talk to the operator for me when my Italian fails and the operator has difficulty understanding Jon’s mobility needs. If you need a taxi large enough for a wheelchair, let them know when booking. Here is my guide for “How to Get a Taxi in Italy” https://roaminghistorian.com/2026/04/14/how-to-get-a-taxi-in-italy/
Buses have space and access for wheelchairs, so this might be a viable option for you…as well as a less costly one. Tickets can often be found at tabachi shops or newspaper stands. There is generally a kiosk to purchase digital tickets at main bus stops. Don’t expect to be able to buy tickets on board. You can reach out to the bus station in each city to find out routes and frequency, as well as get a map. For any city where we are spending a few days or more, I generally write down the bus routes that I think we are most likely to use based on their proximity to our lodging and the attractions on that line. In Venice, the bus is a water bus and called the vaporetto. Many vaporetto stops are accessible, but you will want to check online (Venice’s vaporetto website has a list of which stops are accessible).
Metro systems operate in some Italian cities and might be a viable option. Check to make sure there is an elevator and no steps option before committing to this method.
Private Transfers
Another transportation option for a special day or occasion is to hire a driver for a day (I look for a NCC car). For around 50€ an hour, you can get a private driver. We like to do this is big cities, like Rome, where we want to do a bunch of touristy things, like throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, but don’t want to try to fight through the crowds. Hiring a car allows us to zip all over the city, even to outskirt areas like the Appian Way, without worrying about calling a taxi or waiting for a bus. A private driver can get you close to the attraction and then on to the next one. By hiring a driver you can engineer your own tour of the city. Do not count on them being fluent in English though, so have a list of what you want to see ahead of time.
Check out Viator or GetYourGuide for options.

Another Transportation Option: Rent or Buy Mobility Aids
Renting mobility aids in Italy is possible but might take a little more research before the trip. Some tourism offices can help you…or have wheelchair rental themselves. More frequently though, you will need to rent through a pharmacy (farmacia) or medical device store. I crowd source recommendations for affordable and reliable mobility aid rentals in each city we visit. I like renting from smaller Italian companies because they will often deliver and pick up from your lodging and have more familiarity with your specific city than national companies do. They also know the limitations of centuries-old buildings, tiny elevators, and narrow doorways and will rent equipment that works for you. This year we rented a folding mobility scooter that was perfect. When unfolded it didn’t fit through the door or in the elevator, but when folded up it was like a rolling piece of luggage that easily rolled through tiny restaurants, into small elevators, and through narrow Renaissance-era doors. Italian mobility aids are meant to roll over their cobbled stones and rough terrain, but I highly recommend you bring a good gel seat with you to absorb the bumps.
If you’re thinking about bringing your own mobility aid, I suggest finding a lightweight one that you can carry (roll) up a flight of stairs to an elevator, if necessary. Our wheelchair folds to 28” long, 29” high, and 13” wide…and it only weighs 24 pounds, which means I can easily carry it for Jon. Our mobility scooter also folds up and can be pulled like carry-on luggage. It folds to 34” long, 20” wide, and 18” deep…and only weighs 46 pounds, which is pretty lightweight for an electric mobility aid.
Accessible Attractions in Italy
One of the biggest misconceptions is that historic sites are completely inaccessible. That’s just not true. Italy, with its rich historical heritage and cultural significance, has been increasingly working towards enhancing accessibility for travelers with disabilities. Despite the architectural challenges presented by its ancient cities, the country has made strides in improving access to its renowned landmarks and attractions. Italy boasts some of the most well-preserved ancient history in Europe, including iconic attractions such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican, and Pompeii. In cities like Lucca, disabled travelers can access the medieval city walls using ramps, offering a unique and inclusive experience. Efforts have been made to ensure accessibility to many historic sites, allowing travelers with mobility issues to immerse themselves fully in Italy’s history.
Many Italian museums and churches offer discounts for visitors with disabilities. We’ve found that many state or city-run places are free to the mobility-challenged person and their companion. This information can often be found with ticket information for reduced/free tickets.
Besides the fact that many museums offer free admission, many have wheelchairs for your use. Even if a place doesn’t look accessible, ask. Because of the historic nature of many of the buildings in Italy, they have had to retrofit them to make them accessible. They might have a different entrance for mobility-challenged visitors. Sometimes, they will put down a removable ramp to make stairs accessible. We’ve even had places where Jon was brought up via a staff elevator. I’m often impressed with the extent to which Italians try to make their cultural treasures, even those thousands of years old, accessible.
In other words, accessibility at Italian attractions exists but it’s not always obvious, so it’s best to ask.
Accessible Attractions in Rome, Florence, and Venice
Here are some fully or partially accessible attractions for Rome, Florence, and Venice (the big 3 as I call them).
Rome (although ancient, a lot of efforts are made towards accessibility)
- Colosseum (partially accessible) elevator access and step-free routes available.
- Vatican Museums: accessible entrances and elevators
- Most museums, especially Capitoline, Palazzo Massimo, Galleria Borghese, Museo dell’Ara Pacis, and others.
- Pantheon, St. Peter’s Basilica, Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, and most churches
- Villa Borghese (which is a big park with dramatic views)
- Several of Rome’s palaces, including the Quirinal Palace, Galleria Doria Pamphilj, and Palazzo Barberini, are accessible or are partially accessible.
- Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna, and most large piazze
- Roman Forum and Palatine Hill have some limited accessibility
- Baths of Caracalla have some limited accessibility
Florence (tourist office has a map that shows roads that are smoother than others)
- Uffizi Gallery

- Boboli Gardens is partially accessible
- Vasari Corridor
- Palazzo Strozzi
Venice (the most challenging city due to bridges, but the city has maps showing which bridges have ramps. They also provide maps of accessible routes. A vaporetto (water bus) can help, but accessible stops vary, so check the route ahead of time.
- Piazza San Marco
- St. Mark’s Basilica (main floor)
- Doge’s Palace
- Museo Correr
- Teatro La Fenice
- Peggy Gugenheim Collection
- Gallerie dell’Accademia (mostly accessible)
- Ca’ Rezzonico

How to Book Accessible Tours in Italy
This is one area where I strongly recommend not cutting corners. When mobility is a factor, logistics matter more. A good tour can help you navigate entrances you wouldn’t find on your own, adjust pacing, and reduce physical strain. Although wheelchair-accessible guided tours with step-free routes are available, many tour companies have at least a few tours that are accessible but aren’t advertised that way. I find those that are billed as “accessible” tend to be more expensive, so I look for ones that can be good for our specific mobility challenges but aren’t identified as “accessible.” For us, this means golf cart tours, driving tours, big bus tours, and those rated “easy” for mobility. I’ve also found that wine tours and culinary experiences are often accessible.
One tip is to contact the tour company themselves and ask what they recommend for the city you’re visiting. For Viator, you can use our link below and then search tours for the city you’re visiting and the dates of your trip. Once Viator generates a list, type “accessible tours in Florence (or Rome, Venice, Milan, etc).” This will produce a list of tours with accessible in the description, which you can then individually assess. Ask the tour guide where tour starts and ends (and determine accessibility to each location) and distance/amount of stairs you will be expected to navigate.
If you want to remove stress and uncertainty from your trip, I recommend booking with companies that offer semi-private, private, or small group experiences. LivTours is one company whose “aim is to provide as much access as is possible, and our team is keen to find creative ways to allow everyone the ability to experience their travel dreams whenever it is safe to do so.” They also offer my readers a special discount of 10% off two or more tours with the code, AMYRH10, and the link below.

We’ve found that smaller groups make a huge difference when mobility is a concern. It allows guides to adapt and gives you a much more comfortable experience.
Why a Golf Cart Tour of Rome Is a Game-Changer for Mobility-Challenged Travelers
One of the best decisions we’ve made in Rome, especially when mobility is a concern, is booking a golf cart tour. Rome is not an easy city to navigate on foot. Between the cobblestones, the distances between major sites, and the crowds, even the most seasoned traveler can end the day exhausted. When you add mobility challenges into the mix, it can quickly go from enjoyable to overwhelming.
That’s where a golf cart tour completely changes the experience.
Instead of walking miles across the city, you’re able to sit comfortably while still seeing Rome’s most important landmarks—the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and even panoramic viewpoints like Janiculum Hill—all in just a few hours.
What I love about tours like the ones offered by LivTours is that they are designed to reduce physical strain without sacrificing the experience. You’re not just being driven around—you’re traveling with an expert guide who brings the city to life while thoughtfully pacing the stops.
You can find golf cart tours in several major Italian cities. A few things that make these tours especially helpful for mobility-challenged travelers is there is minimal walking required, small group sizes (easier to adjust pacing), access to narrow streets and hidden areas, less fatigue and thus more enjoyment.
When you’re not worrying about how far the next site is, whether there’s a place to sit, or how you’ll get back at the end of the day, you can actually enjoy Rome for what it is, an extraordinary, layered, living piece of history.

Finding Accessible Hotels in Italy (Why I Use Booking.com)
Many city centers have cobblestones, so it’s important to choose a neighborhood that suits your mobility requirements. One area of a city might be nothing but cobblestones, whereas the area a few blocks over has smooth sidewalks and streets. Jon really disliked navigating Rome until we found sections of the city that were much smoother.
Also, consider the elevation of the towns you’re visiting and the location of your accommodations within them. Some Italian cities are very hilly and not the greatest for those who are mobility challenged. For instance, Rome is built on seven hills but has some areas where the terrain is flat. Knowing the topography of a place can make for an infinitely better stay. I use the map on Booking.com or Google Maps (with street view) to make sure the surrounding area won’t cause access issues. I also see if I can find places near a bus stop or taxi stand.
On paper, many properties will say they’re “accessible”—but that can mean very different things in Italy. Sometimes it means there’s an elevator… but it starts halfway up a staircase or doesn’t start until the Italian first floor (which is 2nd floor for North Americans). Sometimes it means there’s a lift… but it’s too small for certain mobility devices. And sometimes, there’s just not enough information to know what you’re walking into.
That’s why I rely heavily on Booking.com when planning our stays. What I appreciate most is that it helps me piece together the full picture, even when individual hotel websites fall short.
Here’s how I use it:
- Check for elevators—and read carefully. Booking.com will often indicate if an elevator is available and whether it reaches all floors. That alone can save you from a major surprise on arrival.
- Look for accessibility features (but don’t stop there). You’ll sometimes see notes about wheelchair-accessible rooms or entrances. I treat this as a starting point—not the final answer. You can inquire about step-free entry, if necessary, roll-in showers, etc.
- Study the map before you book. This is one of my favorite features. I always look at where the property is located within the city. Staying centrally can reduce how far you need to travel each day—which makes a huge difference when mobility is a factor.
- Compare properties side-by-side. Instead of guessing, I can evaluate multiple options at once and narrow down what might work best for us.
- Use reviews strategically. I’ll often search within reviews for words like “elevator,” “stairs,” or “wheelchair.” Past guests will tell you things the hotel doesn’t.
Another bonus: Booking.com also offers apartments and short-term rentals, which can sometimes provide more space and flexibility than traditional hotels. The details that Booking.com provides helps me piece together the picture I need to secure properties for those who are mobility-challenged. Even though Booking.com is very helpful, I do recommend following up with the property to make specific inquiries.
Take Language into Consideration
Learning some Italian phrases can be beneficial, as it can help in communicating and seeking assistance more effectively. A lot of times the people who might help transport you or who work with mobility aid rental might not speak English. Use Google Translate, if necessary. Knowing a few key words, like sedia a rotelle (wheelchair) and stampelle (crutches) can help you let a cab company know that they will need to send a car big enough for a wheelchair or that you use crutches. I find that even saying stampelle (when he’s not taking the wheelchair) helps the taxi cab company to prioritize us, as taxis are in high demand in many Italian cities.
Find Accessible Apps and City Accessible Reviews
An app in Italy, especially Florence, that we enjoy is Kimap. Kimap provides accessible itineraries and information via crowd-sourcing. You can find a wealth of information there. https://kimap.city/firenze/
There are also many detailed accessibility reviews of cities like Rome, Florence, Milan, and Venice available, providing valuable insights for mobility-challenged travelers planning their trips.
A few other tools that can help are Moovit, Google Maps, and WheelMate.
Reach Out to Tourism Offices
Tourism offices might be able to offer maps and other resources to help make your stay more accessible. In Florence, the tourist office has a map showing streets that are smoother for scooters/wheelchairs. They have pamphlets telling which attractions are wheelchair accessible. They even have wheelchairs available to use for free for short term. Reach out to the tourism office of each Italian city you’re visiting or check their websites for accessible areas like this: https://www.feelflorence.it/en/node/11322
In Venice, the comune offers many maps and routes for disabled travelers. https://www.comune.venezia.it/en/content/accessible-venice-map and https://www.veneziaunica.it/en/plan-your-trip/accessible-venice
Money-Saving Tips for Travelers with Disabilities
One thing that often surprises people is that traveling with mobility challenges in Italy doesn’t just come with obstacles—it can also come with some meaningful cost savings, if you know what to look for. Which is great…because anyone who is mobility-challenged knows that it’s a more expensive life.
Here are a few ways you can reduce costs while still having an incredible experience:
Free or Reduced Entry at Major Attractions
Many of Italy’s top attractions offer free or discounted admission for visitors with disabilities, often including a companion. This can apply to major museums, historic sites, and more. In many cases, the visitor with a disability enters free of charge, as does their companion. You might need to show documentation, so a doctor’s note or picture of something showing mobility issues is smart to save to your phone.
Skip-the-Line (Without Paying for It)
At several major sites, visitors with disabilities can use priority or accessible entrances and avoid long lines—even without a skip-the-line ticket. Save money and energy!
That said, there are still times when booking a guided tour makes more sense—especially if logistics feel overwhelming.
Train Assistance Is Free—and Invaluable
Italy’s train assistance service (Sala Blu) is completely free of charge, and it’s one of the best resources available. It provides help boarding and exiting trains, staff assistance in stations, and coordination across cities. This is a service I would absolutely take advantage of…it removes a huge amount of stress without adding cost.
Choose Central Locations to Save Energy (and Money)
Sometimes spending a little more on a centrally-located hotel actually saves you money overall. Why? Fewer taxis or transfers needed, there is less physical strain getting from place to place, and you have easier access to restaurants and attractions.
Book Tours Strategically
It might seem counterintuitive, but the right tour can actually save you money (and energy). Instead of paying for multiple taxis, booking separate tickets, and navigating logistics on your own, w well-organized tour can bundle everything together efficiently. Time is money, so a guided tour is great for mobility-challenged travelers.
After more than a decade of traveling to Italy and months at a time spent there, I’ve learned that the right tours and accommodations can completely shape your experience. These are my favorite Italy tour companies.

Look for Accessible Apartments for Longer Stays
If you’re staying for several days, an apartment rental can sometimes be:
- More affordable than a hotel
- More spacious and comfortable
- Easier to navigate
Having access to a kitchen and more room to move around can make a big difference over time.
One Final Accessibility Tip
This tip isn’t just for Italy, but for everywhere. If you plan to get travel insurance, get it within the first 7-14 days following when you book the first element of your trip. Many insurers will waive preexisting medical conditions, but only if you enact your policy within 7-14 days of booking the first part (hotel, flight, train, etc). I always want our preexisting conditions covered, so I enact a policy with Travel Insurance.com (my absolute favorite company to get insurance) right away and then increase the policy if our trip becomes more expensive than I initially thought. Here is my blog about “When To Buy Travel Insurance” that more clearly outlines the process: https://roaminghistorian.com/2026/03/13/when-to-buy-travel-insurance/
Compare policies here on Travel Insurance.com; they’re awesome at showing you various policies for your trip, so you can pick the lowest price and best coverage for you. They also show exactly which policies waive preexisting conditions. It’s our favorite travel insurance site and the one we use to book with every time. https://www.travelinsurance.com/?utm_source=pap&a_aid=65590b3a60c44
Traveling through Italy with mobility challenges requires more planning—but it’s absolutely worth it.
Some days will be harder than others. Some places will surprise you—in good ways and frustrating ones. But there is something incredibly meaningful about standing in a place like Rome or Florence and knowing that you made it work. With the right preparation, flexibility, and support, Italy is not just possible—it’s unforgettable.
