About the destination

Set among infinite vineyards and cypress groves, this blend of Roman ruins, pink palaces, and whimsical tombs possesses a romantic charm that is hard to overstate. Shakespeare placed Romeo and Juliet in this setting, and he would probably find it amusing 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 heart of Verona, Brà square, stands the nearly perfectly preserved Roman Arena. Up Mazzini street from the Arena is Piazza delle Erbe, where kitschy trinkets are sold among the Renaissance palaces of former Veronese merchants, creating a vibrant atmosphere with charming cafes and stunning restaurants. Through an arch on the right are Piazza dei Signori and the Tombs of the Scaligeri, the unique Gothic remnants of della Scalla, Verona's medieval tyrants. The equestrian statue of Cangrande I, leader of the Scalla clan, is a glorification of raw power and can be visited at the Castelvecchio museum. But if you're a hopeless romantic, at 23 Cappello street you'll find Juliet's house, where lovers scrawl their hopeful pleas. The house where Romeo supposedly lived is now a bar. This ancient city radiates history from every brick and is definitely worth a visit.
