BIBIENA THEATRE
Building entrance:
The entrance is from Via Accademia, via a small ramp connected to the road and with a slight slope.
The surrounding sidewalks are narrow and have small differences in height at pedestrian crossings; those using mobility aids may need the assistance of a companion or may need to remain on the driveway.
Ticket office:
The entrance area, containing the ticket office and a small bookshop with guides, informational materials, and publications, is adequately sized and free of architectural barriers.
Visiting route:
Stalls:
On the ground floor, you can access the theater's level stalls, with a central aisle and two side aisles of adequate size for the use of mobility aids. During performances and events, entering from the back, there are four wheelchair spaces on the right side.
Upper floors:
Due to the lack of an elevator, the theater galleries and the reception room on the first floor are not accessible to all users.
Toilets:
There are no accessible toilets (as per regulations).
Additional services:
There are no additional services, although the theater's excellent acoustics make it an ideal concert venue. No aids are provided to help the blind and visually impaired explore the venue.
