Disabled Access Review of Milan

Written by John Sage for Sage Traveling, August 10, 2019

Although the Alps are not far away, the city center of Milan is fairly flat. There are a few hills in certaun places, but if you stay in the right, centrally located neighborhood, you won’t encounter them.

The global capital of fashion and design, Milian, is located in Italy’s northern Lombardy region. Peppered with high-end restaurants and shops, this bustling city is a wonderful addition to any Italian itinerary. Milan is the home of the Gothic Duomo di Milano cathedral, the Santa Maria delle Grazie convent and Leonard da Vinci’s mural “the Last Supper.

Wheelchair access in many old Italian cities can be challenging. In Milan, the cobblestones that you’ll find in certain areas, as well as the lack of curb cuts and accessible transportation, means that planning before your visit is key. You’ll want to avoid these during your visit. In the city center, the overall flatness is great, making it possible to roll/walk between the most popular sights.

**Ramp at The Last Supper** – Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Last Supper fresco can be found inside the Santa Maria delle Grazie renaissance church. It has a wheelchair ramp to enter the building
