  • A castle hilltop that offers by far the best view of Verona. Excellent place to take breathtaking images sitting on the wall overlooking the whole city. Walk to the top is not too difficult. It get’s a bit steep here and there and takes about 20-30 min. There are fountains with drinkable water along the way. You can take a cable car if not in a mood for a small hike. There is a restaurant at the top and trees that provide shade if visiting this place in summer. Take your significant other and go make some magical photos here.
  • Best views of Verona....by far Walk up or take the funicular ( my recommendation). The views from the Castle San Pietro is superb. Walk around for different views of Verona. Tremendous Verona photo op from different angles . Restaurant at the funicular station. Restrooms available also. Pay for view telescopes at different points along the ramparts. The walk down can be steep at some points... not recommended for the handicapped or challenged walkers. Allow 1-2 hrs. Final take.,GO...
