[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 nights in Rome is a really long time - it's not Tokyo or anything.  I would do 4 nights in Rome, another 4 in Venice or Florence (probably Florence with kids that age - Venice had some kind of vendetta against wheels last time I was there and I don't know if it extends to strollers), then back to Rome for one night before your flight out.[/quote]

There is no vendetta. Venice, like most European cities, was built way before strollers and tourists were a thing. There are stars everywhere, on every bridge and there are like 4 million bridges. [/quote]

I'm not talking about stairs making it difficult to push a stroller, I'm talking about local ordinances passed against pulling roller luggage on the streets.  Like I said: I don't know if it extends to strollers, but it's worth investigating with kids that little.[/quote]

No, strollers are allowed but basically useless for the reasons I described. They would just end up carrying the stroller most of the time. [/quote]

Okay, so I said OP might want to go to Florence instead of Venice if they need a stroller, and you saw that comment, misinterpreted it and replied to condescend to me about the age of Venice because . . . you [i]agree [/i]that Venice is not a good place for a stroller, but thought you would sound smarter than a poster you assumed thought Venice was built in the 1970s?  You and Disneyland need hobbies.[/quote]

I didn't misinterpret anything. You claimed a vendetta against wheels and "didn't know if it extended to strollers." I pointed out that there is no vendetta and told you why Venice would be hard for anyone with a child in a stroller. You chose to be triggered by my response. It's not my fault you don't know the reason they don't allow suitcases in Venice during the height of tourist season. [/quote]

You did misinterpret it. Because the last time I was there thet were planning a 500 euro fine for anyone rolling a wheeled piece of luggage.  That was a vendetta against wheels (but it is not a thing anymore, for luggage or strollers).  You misread it as me talking about stairs.  This has already been explained, but don't worry.  You tripling down on condescension to cover your mistake isn't triggering,  it's ridiculously typical for this sub.[/quote]

Do you mean this "misunderstanding" that was from...11 years ago?
