The Rome Highlights Accessible Excursion begins with two of the most
famous Roman ruins that you’ll find anywhere. The Roman Forum was the
location of the government, and the Colosseum was the location of the
entertainment. You’ll continue your tour on a wheelchair friendly sidewalk
to the Victor Emanuel Monument.


After you leave Piazza Venezia, you’ll venture into the heart of Rome
where you’ll encounter some accessibility challenges in the form of
omnipresent cobblestones. Your tour will follow the most wheelchiar
friendly route while you visit the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the
Fountain of Four Rivers, and more.


Accessible bus tickets and accessible train tickets are included in the price
of this excursion. The Colosseum entrance tickets are free if the client can
produce a medical certificate with states 75% disability or a driver’s
license which has a D marked on it. Disabled tour participants should carry
some certificate or document stating their disability. Otherwise getting a
free ticket in the Colosseum & Roman Forum is a matter of luck on what
the officer at the ticket counter has to say.


During your Rome Highlights Accessible Excursion by Train, you will have
time to stop in a wheelchair accessible restaurant for an authentic Roman
lunch!

will be adjusted to avoid crowds based on the timing and date of your

Best of Accessible Rome Cruise Excursion would be your best option.


IMPORTANT NOTES:- It will take approximately 30 minutes to get from the

ship.

earlier start, please let us know so we can book you on an earlier train.

Accessibility Description
The Rome Highlights Accessible Excursion by Train has a 3 Star Sage
Accessibility Rating because it is accessible to wheelchair users although
they may need assistance at the Civitavecchia cruise dock getting onto the
port shuttle. Your route will likely include some of the uneven terrain in the
Roman Forum as well as cobblestones near the Trevi Fountain and
Pantheon. If you need a more accessible tour, the accessible Rome driving
excursions require less walking/rolling between sights.


Your excursion begins with disembarking your cruise ship and getting onto
the Civitavecchia port shuttle. It is a low floor bus but does not have a
wheelchair ramp (photo of bus shown on the left). The photo on the right
shows the wheelchair accessible exit to the Civitavecchia cruise port.


The route between the port exit and the Civitavecchia train station is
shown below. You can wait for a bus or walk/roll the 600 meters (usually
quicker).


This accessible Rome excursion utilizes the accessible entrance to the
Civitavecchia train station (shown in the photo on the left). It includes a
wheelchair lift to get onto the train at the Civitavecchia train station
(shown on the right). We will reserve assistance for you to get onto the
train….you just need to give one of the train station staff members your
name!


We will reserve handicapped accessible seats for you. They will be located
on the train car that has an accessible toilet.


When you arrive at Rome Termini train station, a train station staff
member will meet you with a special vehicle to transport you the 850
meters to the Sale Blu office. Your officially-licensed tour guide will meet
you at the Sale Blu office.


Your tour guide will bring you to one of the wheelchair accessible buses
that travel to the Rome city center. Your guide will have already purchased
your bus tickets.


When visiting the Colosseum with a disability, your tour guide will escort
you past the long line of visitors to the entrance. To visit the upper level of
the Colosseum, your guide will use the wheelchair ramp (shown on the
right) that leads to the elevator.


An accessible visit to the Roman Forum is possible using the wheelchair lift
shown in the photo of the right. Your tour guide will bring you along a
route that avoids the severely uneven ancient cobblestones (shown in the
picture on the right).


After visiting the Roman Forum, you’ll enter the city center where the
cobblestones may provide wheelchair users with a bumpy ride! The Rome
Highlights Accessible Excursion by Train will utilize the wheelchair
accessible ramp at the Pantheon (shown in the photo on the right).


The tour route on the Rome Highlights Accessible Excursion by Train will
avoid the sidewalks in Rome that have numerous steps (shown in the

fountain by Nicola Salvi.
