[quote=Anonymous]I've been to Italy twice in the past year - Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples, and Positano. My 76-year-old mom was on the first trip and did well but she doesn't have the mobility issues OP describes. Italy (and most of Europe) requires a lot of walking and many, many steps to see anything. Roads and sidewalks are uneven and can be crowded even in the off-season. Plus, as many PPs have noted, the flight is exhausting if you're not in first class/business class. If OP is wealthy, it might be possible to make this trip happen with private tours and such, but otherwise I would pass. If you do go, OP, stick to Rome and maybe Florence. [/quote]
