About the destination

Set amidst endless vineyards and cypress groves, this blend of Roman ruins, pink palaces and whimsical tombs has a romantic beauty that is hard to overstate. Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet here, and would likely be amused to know that his fictional lovers have become Verona’s top tourist attraction. However, Verona has more to offer than just Romeo and Juliet. In the centre of Verona, Brà square, there is the almost perfectly preserved Roman Arena. Up via Mazzini from the Arena is piazza delle Erbe, where tacky trinkets are sold amongst the Renaissance palazzo of former Veronese merchants and it has a lively atmosphere with charming cafes and stunning restaurants. Through an arch on the right are piazza dei Signori and the Tombs of the Scaligeri, the peculiar Gothic remnants of della Scalla, Verona’s medieval tyrants. The equestrian statue of Cangrande I, head of the Scalla clan is a glorification of raw power and can be visited at the museum of Castelvecchio. But if you are a hopeless romantic, at 23 via Cappello you’ll find Juliet’s house, where lovers scrawl their hopeful pleas. The house where Romeo used to live is now a pub. This ancient city oozes history from every brick and is well worth a visit.
