[quote=Anonymous]Italians are generally very accommodating for the elderly and young but Rome can be a tough city for those with limited mobility.  Something like the Vatican requires lots of walking and often waiting in a long line (there may be a way to skip that).  As noted, accessibility is limited because everything is so old, though I think getting into most churches would not be so difficult.  One area that might work because it is centrally located is Campo de Fiori, pretty easy access to good restaurants and tourist attractions, or Piazza Navona where you might find larger hotels.  The Spanish steps also has many hotels, but more expensive and for me, not so centrally located.  Worth trying but I would keep your expectations relatively low in terms of how much you will see on any particular day, and spend some of the the days sipping coffee or a drink in the many plazas.  Spring might be best time to go, but that would be in May when your child may not be able to get out of school.  Avoid Easter if you are trying to avoid crowds, and the city is crowded and hot in the summer, though it is still wonderful. [/quote]
