Venice with Wheel Chair

Hi

 

Have been once, we caught Vapaetta no 1 from Plaza Roma though the canal to St Marks Square. Once there became stuck, difficult to get around other then jumping on water taxi again.

 

Has any one got a route around, suitable for a wheelchair, whereby we can see more? Please

Yes, google "accessible venice". The site that comes up includes a map showing how to get from one area to another. Some of the bridges have ramps on one edge or the other. The ramps are somewhat steep but if you have a strong pusher quite doable. I use a scooter and had minimal problems except for dodging moms with strollers and delivery people with handtrucks while on the ramps.

Thank you so much, pusher's no problem because that is me!

 

Do like to get my wife around, to see as much as possible.

 

Last time somewhat unprepared, even though we arrived in St Marks square at 8.15 am that part of the plan worked. It was from then on that the problems became apparent.

 

So thank you for your kindness

My mum uses a wheelchair and I know they did Venice without any problems that I recall. I will try and remember to ask them for some details when I see them next.
