Houston, TX (prHWY.com) March 8, 2013 - Venice is one of the most popular destinations in the world, yet few disabled tourists tackle it because of the intimidating bridges throughout the city. While there are hundreds of bridges connecting the islands throughout the city, disabled tourists can avoid them if they understand how the city is laid out. Several large neighborhoods, including the one containing St. Mark's Square, can be visited without encountering bridges. These neighborhoods have few cobblestones and no steps. Venice disabled access building codes require that remodeled buildings are wheelchair accessible, however most buildings have not been remodeled.

Venice Disabled Access - Best Aspects

* More than 50% of the city is accessible - Most people think of a whole lot of bridges and canals when they think of Venice. While this is accurate, there are actually numerous neighborhoods that can be visited without needing to go over any bridges. As a result, over half of Venice can be visited in a wheelchair.

* Vaporetto boats are somewhat wheelchair friendly - The vaporetto boats in Venice are generally wheelchair accessible and very useful for getting from neighborhood to neighborhood. The #1 and #2 vaparetto routes run down Venice's Grand Canal and are the most popular for tourists. Several other lines run through the lagoon surrounding Venice and are also helpful.

* No cobblestones anywhere - Unlike other cities in Italy, there are no cobblestones in Venice. The sidewalks and streets in the neighborhoods are paved or have smooth paving stones, and there aren't any curbs anywhere.

Venice Disabled Access - Most Challenging Aspects

* Bridges are everywhere and generally not wheelchair accessible - There are over 400 bridges in Venice. Only a few can be called moderately wheelchair accessible and then only if there is someone there to assist. You can find more information on our Venice bridge disabled accessibility page.

* Misinformation about bridge lifts - Numerous websites say that there are wheelchair lifts on 5 bridges in Venice. This was true but the lifts have been taken out of service. We were told that the saltwater made them too difficult and expensive to maintain.

* Some neighborhoods are very small - Some of the accessible neighborhoods in Venice are very small with few restaurants or attractions. There is no sign on the vaporetto docks indicating the extent of the accessible portion of the neighborhood.
