Verona best sights

Be sure to check out Castelvecchio, it’s one of the best Verona sights. A 14th-century, red brick, fortified castle on the banks of the river Aldige. The main castle buildings house the city art museum, which is packed with a rich collection of medieval sculpture and Renaissance paintings. As well as the museum, the extensive castle ramparts are great for exploring - ideal for families with children who enjoy running around castle fortifications. The Castelvecchio has an adjoining bridge over the river, which is open all the time - walk over the bridge for some fantastic views of the castle on the river.
