Castel San Pietro

ViewpointVerona & Lake GardaAbout 45 minutes

The terrace across the river, up either a funicular or a stiff set of steps, looking straight down on the Roman theatre and the whole curve of the old city. Free, open, and the place to be half an hour before sunset. Ten minutes from the centre on foot plus the climb.
