Moving around the city with a physical disability
Getting around the city of Florence with a physical disability can be a challenge. Consider however that the city streets and all of the buildings in the historical center are hundreds of years old if not older and that slowly both public and private buildings as well as churches have started to implement the necessary adaptations to allow anyone with a physical disability to enter them without too much problems.
Florence's City Council has drawn up a number of suggested tourist itineraries in the historic city center which includes specific information with regards to accessibility for anyone with a physical disability. Visit the council's site at www.comune.fi.it/viverefirenze/itinerari.html for more information. The site is unfortunately only in Italian - if you think the information would be useful to have here in English, please let us know and we'll translate the sections you think are most useful to have on here.
There is also information for anyone with a physical disability who wants to get around the city by car on the website of Servizi della Strada, the city's car park operator. Unfortunately, this site is also only in Italian so again, let us know what kind of information you think would be useful and we'll add it to our site.
