Imperial Forums

The streets within the Forum are paved in large, irregular, uneven stones. Although the streets are relatively flat, there are some slopes. The terrain is difficult for a wheelchair, but it is possible to go through much of the Forum with a moderate amount of assistance. Enter on the east side, on Via Sacra near the Arch of Titus and the Colosseum, or on the north side, from Via in Miranda; while still difficult, the way there is much better than on the west side near the Capitoline Museums.

Colosseum

The entrance is on the side facing the Arch of Constantine. Heavy stone pavement surrounds most of the Colosseum, including the path from the Arch of Constantine to the entrance. The terrain is bumpy but level and passable. There is a large, modern elevator from the ground floor to the primary upper floor, and the walkway around the perimeter at that level is completely accessible. The bathrooms are outside the Colosseum itself, near the intersection of Via dei Fori Imperiali and Via di San Giovanni in Laterano. The accessible one is small but there is an attendant to ensure privacy.
