What an amazing medieval castle, it’s very well kept, it’s been restored and renovated. It’s in very good condition and it’s definitely very fascinating. Very educational and interesting, it has a museum located inside. It has an armoury and several statues and artifacts in and around the ground as well as a lovely bridge close by. I would definitely recommend checking it out.
A brilliant display of artists that worked in Verona.Italy sets such a high standard of heritage curatorship but I did wonder if the strong sunlight entering the ground floor could be calibrated. The internal lighting was not at all needed. I'm sure the sculptures would not come to any harm, they've survived at least half a millennium. Overall, a well organized route which included stunning views from the battlements.
Must visit! Great views of the lake, cool museums with lots of info about the area and history.
The views are amazing, when it isn't foggy. But the Castel itself was not as explorable as we hoped. When we went, there was a modern art exhibit about the future of the world in the face of Climate Change, modern art just isn't my cup of tea and I felt it detracted from what could have been a great historical visit to the Castel. No charge to enter.
Interesting architecture, fusion of old and new through the ingenious work of Scarpa, showcasing the local history of Verona's 'big dog' Cangrande. Some areas with great views of the bridge and river.
This place provides a good overview of medieval architecture combined with a good collection of religious paintings from different eras. Also you get fantastic Verona views from the castle walls.
Amazing view from the city. Go for the sunset. We went with eletrical bikeverona but the way back, easier one was a bit dangerous, lots of cars, no separate bike lane as most places.
Beautiful place to visit and see the views of Verona. Would recommend coming even if you’re in Verona for a short amount of time. There’s even a funicular for those less able/lazy to get to the top
bello ma prevalentemente chiuso
bella la vista sugli altri castelli

A breathtaking view from the top. You can see the whole city, highly recommend going to this place when it’s coming to sunset because it’s the best. You can buy ticket for a lift, climbing onto the top takes 15-20 minutes, it’s a little tiring but it’s worth it!
Better bring some cocktail or snack to enjoy the view

Bit hot inside but really beautiful art, especially for religious minded people. Restoration works are to be applauded. Climb the short flight of stairs up to the battlements if you're there. The only toilet is directly after the entrance, and it's strictly one-way traffic, so plan ahead.
This is a very cool place on the banks River Bank with the old bridge, a drawbridge and a moat. It has a very nice open space and garden. Inside you can your and and see the museums as well.
Amazing views of Verona. Get there early as it can get busy up there. Furniculor was quick and easy (€2pp) but only opens at 10am. Definitely worth it.
Remarkably well-restored castle in the heart of Verona. Most of the rooms are filled with religious artifacts and paintings. The self guided tour of the museum takes you throughout the castle and up on the parapets. My only wish is that it had air conditioning -- something that will only be more needed as global temperatures rise.
Really nice view from the top on the whole Verona. Recommend to went here also by night, in the summer sun is setting behind the mountains.
It's a nice place to visit with family. The museum and the artifacts on display are good. The views of the fortress and the views of the river beside it are fabulous, must visit
If you visit Verona, do not miss this museum. Gorgeous collection of regional artwork through the ages.
Amazing hilltop view to the Verona old town. The stairs to the top is very beautiful.
For accessibility, there is a track elevator goes frequently up and down. Payment is on site, card accepted.

This ‘Old Castle’ is a must see in Verona! Built along the Adige river and the Castelvecchio bridge extending from there across the river, great history behind it. There is lots to see inside this museum and the Verona card gets you free entrance. The place is pretty compact but you should plan on spending at least a couple of hours, perhaps more if you want to leisurely go through the numerous displays of art. Amazing views of the river, bridges etc., once you get up to the top of the castle.
Loads and loads of arts and sculptures of a lot of famous / amateur artists. It was very interesting but the focus could be kept only for the first 20-30 mins. After few rooms the interest starts to dip a bit. Maybe please do this visit with a guided tour. In order to finish the complete museum it will probably take almost three to four hours. We skipped almost 40% of the museum (saw all the important art pieces), still it took two hours for us.
Excellent view on Malaga from above. Nothing really to see inside and castle itself is very functional-looking. So best experience is the hike to the top through a beautiful park, completed with a gratifying view once apex is reached.
There is a toilet inside the castle, so don't worry too much, but keep in mind that entrance is paid.

Wir haben den Ort nicht gefunden obwohl laut Google Maps dieser direkt neben uns war. Keine Beschilderung.
I liked the bridge, althought it was historically a military fortress, it's a very nice touristic place in Verona. The bridge has many "windows" on its sides from where you can see the a beautiful river view. Just by the side of the bridge there is a small stoney cost where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of the flowing water of the river.
Purtroppo era in manutenzione.
Ha una torre singolare e le mura proteggono un'ampia area verde.
Dal castello si può vedere il forte ottocentesco Werk John su una collina vicina.

Charming
Luogo suggestivo e fuori dai percorsi turistici. Attorno a questo forte collinare vecchio di secoli si sviluppa una comoda passeggiata panoramica dove si incontrano soprattutto veronesi che vanno a spasso o fanno sgambettare l'amico a quattro zampe in tutta tranquillità.
Un po' problematico l'accesso, non segnalato. Soprattutto non indicato si Google Maps. Arrivando dalla funicolare di salire per via Castel San Pietro e poi per via Nazaret per entrare nel Parco, oppure, proseguendo per via Castello San Felice, prendere, al secondo tornante, il piccolo sentiero a destra che costeggia le mura.
Dopo una ventina di metri vedrete un passaggio nella cinta muraria, che vi condurrà dentro il fortilizio.
All'interno uno spazio verde abbastanza ben curato, con panchine, cestini per la, spazzatura e tavoli da picnic.

Nice but closed
Tutta l’area è ancora zona militare per la presenza di un potente ripetitore radio per cui è visitabile solo in occasione di alcune visite guidate autorizzate. Vi si possono leggere testimonianze scaligere, viscontee, veneziane e austriache. Meriterebbe un lavoro di ripristino.
Da qui c'è la più bella vista su Verona!
Beautiful panoramic views of the mountains valleys villages and city.
Luogo spettacolare e da visitare, da cui si gode una vista unica. Andrebbe recuperato e vslorizzato
Lovely
Consiglio la visita se si è nelle vicinanze perché non c'è molto da vedere.
Per la visita sono sufficienti 15-20 minuti. A che piace camminare consiglio di parcheggiare sulla strada principale e salire a piedi, raggiungendo il castello in 10 minuti godendo del paesaggio.
Il castello è composto da 3 torri e fortificazioni parzialmente diroccati.
Dal castello si gode una bella vista delle colline circostanti.
All''interno c'è un tendone utilizzato per le feste.
La visita è gratuita.

Visita interessante, credo che se ne sappia poco. Molti edifici, passaggi e gallerie. per capirne il significato e l' utilizzo utile una buona guida. Il castello appartiene al demanio militare, e credo che forniscano una guida a richiesta.
Cool piece of history of Verona. Roman era
We walked up the steep hill from town today (Sunday) and it was closed! I have put a request in to change the hours open. The walk was lovely and the views stunning.
Ambiente ricco di storia e gode di una vista mozzafiato, da recuperare assolutamente
