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.

Just off Piazza dei Signori, these five Gothic tombs belong to the Scaliger family, who ruled Verona in the 13th and 14th centuries. The tombs are tall, ornate, and shaped like mini stone canopies—hard to miss once you spot them.

This is the city’s main venue for music, dance, and theatre — home to the Cairo Opera and Ballet Companies. The complex includes two indoor halls and an open-air stage, hosting everything from classical concerts to modern plays. There are also regular art and photography exhibitions in the galleries.

If you’re up for something off the beaten path, the Birqash Camel Market is worth a visit. It’s one of the biggest camel markets near Cairo, where you can see locals trading animals in a way you won’t find in the usual tourist spots. It’s about a 30-minute drive out of the city, so going with a local guide is a good idea — they know the place and can help you navigate the chaos. Just a heads-up: it’s a pretty raw scene with animals being bought and sold, so if you’re sensitive about that, it might not be your cup of tea.
