    Hi all,



    This will be our second trip to the Eternal City, however, this time a close friend is coming with us, who happens to be a wheelchair user. I know that the Collesseum is wheelchair accessible, but I was wondering, are there any metro stations or areas that we wouldn't be able to go/see with a wheelchair.



    I am aware, also, that he would be able to go and see the Spanish Steps (from the bottom/top) and also the Trevi Fountain, but wouldn't be able to go down to it (as far as I know - though I'm happy to be corrected)



    Any advice would be great, thanks.

    The Trevi Fountain is in a small pedestrianized square, the Piazza del Trevi, you won't have any problems there. The company which runs the metro is called ATAC, they have Italian and English language versions of their website but on both versions, the link for information on facilities/access for disabled people is blank...
