We had a lovely meal on the balcony of Ponte Pietra, overlooking the river Ardige, and we had reserved the table over the internet. It was a fantastic meal from start to finish. We enjoyed rolled scallops and buffalo ricotta, crisp bacon and leek cream as for antipasti, then both enjoyed the local rice dish (cooked in red wine). As... More

Each day we would cross this romantic and picturques bridge leading into a postcard square and the stylish section of Verona. Always inspiring - impossible not to stop and reflect on the view of the water, the hills , and the town.

This bridge is a walking bridge and is lovely. There are old stones in the water below (I believe they are remnants from war bombing), and thus there are rapids which provide a nice musical background. Just across the bridge towards city center is the best gelato shop in Verona. You can tell you are near by all the people... More

Use this bridge as your final destination on your walk through Verona. It is at the far end of the historical city center and although it looks like many other bridges, you get a real feeling of history if you look down into the Adige below and try to imagine the amounts of water that have flown under it since...

what can I tell you? Nicely re-built over a big river, bit of a weir... if you're into old bridges it will be of interest, if not use it to get to / from the duomo or the roman theatre.

The view along the river and across the city was lovely on a good, sunny day. The river is lined with pretty houses and tiny bars with terraces. If you bag a space on the terrace you won;t want to leave.

Although I was not overwhelmed by the bridge or the view, I did find it easy to navigate the various crazy streets that wind and dance around Verona based on finding this point. It was pouring rain so maybe I'm just being grumpy.

This is the oldest bridge in the city linking the old city to the hill with the Roman theatre and archaeological museum, as well as very pretty alleys and garden terraces offering spectacular views over the city. You get a good view of the River Adige and the hills to the north of the city from it.
