Verona is a city that quietly sweeps you off your feet. From the Roman Arena to Juliet’s balcony, its beauty unfolds in sunlit piazzas, riverside strolls, and evening aperitivo. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, 'The City of Love', as it is known, blends history, romance, and that effortless Italian warmth. Stay awhile—and you’ll soon see why it is one of Italy’s most beloved places.

Do & See

Verona’s centre is packed with churches, palaces, and history at every turn. Most visitors head straight to Juliet’s house and tomb—the spots tied to Shakespeare’s famous love story, which can get busy but are worth seeing if you’re curious about the legend.

Piazza Brà

Piazza Brà is the biggest square in Verona and a natural starting point for exploring the city. Yes, it’s touristy—but also a good place to sit with a coffee and take it all in. You've got the Arena on one side, cafés and grand buildings on the other, and a small park in the middle with benches, trees, and a fountain. Handy spot to pause, especially if you're heading to the Arena or have just arrived in town.

Juliet’s House

Casa di Giulietta is a 14th-century Gothic house linked (mostly by myth) to Juliet from Shakespeare’s play. The name similarity between the real Dal Cappello family and the fictional Capulets kicked off the connection. Inside, there’s a small museum and a stone balcony—added long after Shakespeare's time—which draws a steady stream of visitors. The courtyard gets packed, but there’s something fun about the whole scene—even if you know it’s more story than history.

Castelvecchio

Castelvecchio, which means 'Old Castle', dates back to the mid-1300s and was built by Cangrande II della Scala as both a residence and fortress. Today, it houses the Castelvecchio Museum, with a good collection of medieval and Renaissance art. The castle’s walls and towers give a solid sense of Verona’s history, and the walk along the river from here is worth adding to your route.

Juliet’s Tomb

The story of Romeo and Juliet will always be tied to the city of Verona, and if you’re following the trail of the legend, this is part of it. The stone sarcophagus here is said to be the final resting place of Juliet. It’s set in the crypt of a former monastery—quieter than Juliet’s House, with a small museum above that gives a bit more context to the story.

Palazzo della Ragione and Lamberti Tower

Right in the centre, this Romanesque palace was Verona’s city hall for centuries. Inside, there’s a small modern art museum and the impressive staircase in the courtyard. The highlight, though, is the Lamberti Tower—climb it (or take the lift) for one of the best views over the city.

Arena di Verona

Arena di Verona is a Roman amphitheatre from the 1st century, right on Piazza Brà. Still used today, mostly for opera in the summer, which draws big crowds and makes the whole thing feel surprisingly alive for something nearly 2,000 years old.
