We are planning to go to Ireland (Dublin) and Italy (Milan) for my husbands 80th birthday in September. Have any of you stayed in Dublin? We will use the hotel you all recommended for Milan. I am disabled and need a wheelchair or a rollator to get around. Plus I have asthma, need a CPAP, and have hip problems. He has had open heart surgery. Any ideas on transportation? We want to tour Ireland as his mother was born there and Milan as his father was born there! We went to Italy 5 years ago and found the walking difficult. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help

@jmb73 what a fun trip you have planned! We have been to both Dublin and Milan but I was younger then! You may want to check with the hotel in advance to see if they have tour guides with cars. Walking on crowded streets with cobblestones can be very difficult also ask about stairs. My observation of Europe was that there was no accommodation for the disabled. The cities are old and built before any modern conveniences. If the old parts of the cities were changed to today’s modern standards, they would lose their history and charm. I don’t want to discourage you, but you will need to do your homework!
