Overview
The Colosseum is an amazing structure and well worth seeing if you're visiting Rome. The cobbled stone terrain may be a little difficult for some wheelchair users. It may also be slightly awkward for cane and guide dog users also. Access to the different levels including the newly opened underground level are by lift and stairs. The underground level is ramped also, so should be accessible for wheelchair users.
Transport & Parking
There are some streets close to the Colosseum where you can find disabled parking. Buses and some trams also stop close to it.
Access
The lift facilities are modern. Guides can also assist if you contact the booking office in advance. The main issue for anyone with mobility problems is the rough terrain of the stone surfaces.
Toilets
I did not use these facilities when I was there so I can't comment on them.
Staff
I mentioned to staff that I was visually impaired and found them very helpful with any additional information I needed.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
It's worth contacting the booking office in advance if you have any very specific requirements.
