Torre dei Lamberti | TravelDojo

Torre dei Lamberti is a medieval civic tower in Verona that dominates Piazza delle Erbe and the surrounding historic centre. Construction began in 1172 and the tower was raised and modified over subsequent centuries.

The structure reaches roughly 84 metres and includes a belfry; from the upper terrace visitors get wide views across Verona’s historic roofs, the Adige River and nearby hills. An elevator has been installed to ease access to the viewing levels.

The tower sits in the heart of Verona’s old town adjacent to market squares and other civic buildings, and is often combined with visits to nearby Roman and medieval sites.

Date and height: Construction began in 1172; the tower reaches about 84 metres, making it one of Verona's tallest medieval towers.
Bells: Two historic bells - used for civic signalling - remain part of the belfry and can be seen from the upper levels.

What to See #

Viewing platform: Viewing platform near the summit that gives panoramic views across Verona's roofs and towards the Adige River and surrounding hills.

How to Get to Torre dei Lamberti #

Torre dei Lamberti stands in Verona’s historic centre at Piazza delle Erbe. From Verona Porta Nuova train station it is about 1.5-2 km away (roughly a 20-25 minute walk) across the city centre; local city buses and taxis also serve the centre and there are public parking garages (Piazza Bra area) within a 5-10 minute drive of the tower.

Tips for Visiting Torre dei Lamberti #

Arrive right at opening or late in the afternoon to avoid peak crowds in Piazza delle Erbe and get unobstructed views from the top.
Take the elevator to the summit (available in the tower) if you prefer to skip the steep stairway; it saves time and energy while still delivering the panoramic views.
If you plan to visit several city sights, consider a Verona Card or buying tickets in advance during high season to reduce queuing time.
