CASTEL SAN PIETRO FUNICULAR DISCOVER VERONA FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE

IMPORTANT NOTICE

In light of the health emergency that is involving Italy, starting on Friday 13 March 2020, the Castel San Pietro Funicular will be temporarily closed to the public until further notice.

CASTEL SAN PIETRO FUNICULAR: THE CITY AT YOUR FEET

The Castel San Pietro Funicular, right in the heart of Roman Verona, takes you in little more than a minute to the viewpoint at the top of Colle San Pietro, offering its visitors one of the most wonderful and romantic views over the city. From the panoramic Terrace you can see the Adige river that flows under the Ponte Pietra and the historic centre, with its bell towers and its architecture reflecting every era.

The Funicular is the ideal starting point for discovering all the country walks in the hills that surround Verona. In operation all year round, visitors can choose to use the cable lift to go up and down the hill or just use it to come up or come down.

If by day the Funicular is a way of easily reaching the top of Colle San Pietro, in the evening it carries its passengers up to the panoramic terrace, that becomes the exclusive location for public and private events.

Photo gallery

Riding the Funicular to see the city of Verona from the Colle San Pietro Viewing Terrace is a unique and unmissable experience. One look at the photogallery will be enough to convince you to include it as a sight not to be missed on your visit to the city.
