The car park in Viale Minco provides rest areas for both buses and cars (7 parking spaces are reserved for the disabled). From here, follow the sidewalk that runs along the city wall, then use the crossing at Via San Giorgio to reach the pavement on other side of the road, which is wide and evenly-surfaced. At the entrance to Piazza Castello, you will find the National Museum of Archeology, and the Castello di San Giorgio. Keeping on the left-hand side, the route continues along the cobbled street until it reaches the entrance of the Palazzo Ducale. Inside the Palace, there are routes specifically designed for the disabled, and all slopes, level changes and stairs are easily negotiable using the stair lift, elevators and ramps provided.Walk across Piazza Sordello, with its typical cobbled pavement, to reach the wide, evenly-surfaced sidewalk. Cross Via Cavour to reach the Arcades on the right, from where you can admire the Piazza Broletto and enjoy the view of the Podestà Palace, which has the grand Arengario Archway as its entrance. Continuing along the Arcades, the left side then meets with another of Mantua’s charming Squares, the Piazza Erbe - a lively area of the city. The Rotonda di San Lorenzo is accessible via a gently sloping stairway at its entrance, and once inside, everything is on the same level, presenting no obstacles to disabled visitors. The main Exhibition Room in the Palazzo della Ragione is located on the first floor, but is served by a stair lift and therefore totally accessible. From the Palazzo della Ragione, you can also admire the charming Clock Tower, though the stairway at its entrance means it is not accessible to disabled visitors. The Arcades end once you get to Piazza Mantegna, where the Basilica di Sant’Andrea stands out magnificently. The Basilica is fully accessible, thanks to a route specifically designed with the disabled in mind, which starts at the Piazza Leon Battista Alberti and runs right up to the Church (see also Route No. 3). Inside, everything is on one level, so the Basilica presents no accessibility problems.From here, you can proceed along the pedestrianised Piazza Marconi which is connected to Via Roma by a 90-cm wide sidewalk on its left. Then, keeping to the left-hand side, cross Via Filippo Corridoni and Via Giacomo Matteotti, enter Via Principe Amedeo, and keep going straight ahead through Via Filzi, Via Giulio Romano and Via Torquato Tasso, which are all obstacle-free streets. Once you’ve reached Largo XXIV Maggio, on your right side you’ll find the Chiesa di San Sebastiano, which is not accessible. Cross Via Acerbi, and at No. 47, you can visit the Casa del Mantegna, where an elevator can be used to access the first floor and basement, where disabled toilets are situated.Past this point, keep to the right of the sidewalk, cross Viale delle Rimembranze and head towards the corner of Porta Pusterla, which faces the imposing Palazzo di San Sebastiano. The Palace, despite being built on several different floor levels, is fully accessible, as each floor is connected by an elevator and disabled toilet facilities. In addition, assistance is provided to guide visually impaired visitors through the works of art, and a wheel chair service is available.A visit to Palazzo Te completes this route. The palace may be reached after crossing the obstacle-free Viale della Repubblica and Viale Montegrappa, which are both level surfaces. The ground floor of the Palace is completely accessible, but the first floor (which houses the Egyptian Museum as well as the permanent Art collections), can only be reached by a flight of stairs. Disabled toilet facilities and parking bays are provided, as are reproduction bas reliefs of frescoes and Braille sheets for visually impaired visitors.
