Asolo- The City of a Hundred Horizons- this Jewel in Northern Italy is a must see. The small shops, caffees, patisserie... Asolo has its own taste and smell. Once you see the sunset is to approach, run up the stairs to the Rocca. Then you will see the spell of the golden red city.

Hiking up to the fortress from the village of Asolo is exhausting but worth it. The fortress itself costs 2 euros per person and will only take a few minutes to see, but the views from the ramparts are amazing, especially in winter as the sunsets across the plain.

It is a steep climb, but worth it. It is open Sunday and is 2 Euros to enter. Take your time on the steps and enjoy the views as you go up. I was motivated because I know I am going to have a terrific dinner at Villa Cipriani tonight. Go early and avoid the crowds!

A lovely steep walk but worth it for the views. The fortress is only open on weekends. Walk is very well maintained.

When visiting the historic hilltop village of Asolo, in the foothills of the italian Alps, make sure you climb up the Rocca, a fortification dating back to the 12th century. The best part of this visit is the views and the wonderful walk that departs from the Rocca d'Asolo and follows the range of hills all the way to the Rocca di Cornuda.Immerse yourself in the wild woods and streams, with stunning views of the mountains and plains.Best in all seasons.

Today 4th August I climbed the 276 steps from Aloso town square to the Rocca fortress above Asolo. It was a lovely warm day and the views from the top were beautiful. Its strategic position with views all round the surrounding plains made it an impregnable defensive and sighting towerin the 13th to 14th centuries.

Although the climb is rather long (up the roadway) or steep (up the stairs from Asolo) the view from the top of La Rocca is sublime. On a clear day you can see the entire region spread out before you. The Rocca itself is small and is more interesting for it's historical importance than any architectural features or design elements. The 1-2 hour recommended length of visit includes the time it will take to walk up and back down from La Rocca to Asolo itself.

This is a bit of the clichee of Italy. Narrow alleys, a nice place, wonderful views down into the povalley, a lot of nice restaurants and shops, all not too touristy with an old citadel (dating back to the 11th century) and nice and friendly people all around. Not worth a too long detour but if you have the possibility it beats a lot of other towns in the area, mostly for the spectacular looks.
