Clock Tower Venice and Mobility

[sr5242]

Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before- my mother walks slowly with a cane, and can climb stairs slowly. Would she be able to handle the Clock Tower tour in venice?

thanks!

no problem...elevator up...walk around on flat surface...elevator down...

 

it is a rather small elevator and it is not a huge area up top...but no steps...this i can attest to...

Clock tower not an issue but the upstairs at the Basilica will be. Its a very very steep staircase. Also Doges Palace secret itinerary tour has some smaller stairwells but may be manageable. The normal Doges tour is easy to manage

Question about the basilica: there's an upstairs? I read it takes 10 minutes to go through?

yes as you walk in its all the way to the right a very steep narrow staircase takes you up to an outdoor balcony plus they have some artifacts up there as well. Great views of the plaza and Doges

just an update for anyone also interested in seeing the clock tower- the info I received here on CC was WRONG- the clock tower DOES NOT have an elevator- the bell tower does. I hope to save people the money I wasted based on bad CC advice.
