  • A charming city 30 km east of La Garda Lake and 115 km west of Venice.

    The city is rich with impressive Roman, Medieval and Renaissance buildings, palaces and churches, and is mostly known for being the set of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

    The city’s old quarter known as piccolo Roma (little Rome) is a network of narrow cobbled streets with baroque facades, beautiful buildings, restaurants, and endless shopping opportunities in small local shops.
    Stroll the beautiful old quarter,  visit the impressive Roman Arena, the highly decorated Verona Cathedral, the Duomo, the Castelvecchio and its magnificent museum, and more.
    Visit Piazza Bra, Verona’s main square and one of the largest in Europe, and the elegant Piazza dei Signori.

    Spend some time at Via Mazzoni and Corso Porta Borsari, the city’s best shopping street, and at the lively market stalls on Piazza delle Erbe.
    Following Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet footsteps, visit Juliet’s House in the old quarter on Via Cappello, and Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore where the couple “married”.

    Spend at least half a day in this lively Medieval city.
