Piazza Venezia (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Piazza Venezia?
What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Lifts allow stroller access and open space lets baby nap, but there is no on-site changing room or nursing area and car horns plus crowds may overwhelm, so parents need extra planning.
Positives:
- Stroller Accessibility: Lifts at main entrances and ramped paths in the gardens make stroller navigation easy.
- Free Highlights: Garden access and the guard-changing ceremony are free for all visitors.
Challenges:
- Limited Baby Facilities: No official baby-changing stations in the square; rely on nearby cafés or stores.
- Crowded Hub: Square can get busy at peak hours, reducing space for strollers.
