Things To Do
The Arena
Verona's Roman amphitheater, built in the 1st century. Neither of us have been inside yet, but even from the outside, at day and night, it's a must see!
Juliet's Balcony
It's not hard to see why Shakespeare set his famous play, "Romeo and Juliet" in fair Verona. Though the characters are fictional, at Juliet's House, you can imagine the star-crossed lovers there declaring their affection for each other in secret.
Basilica di San Zeno
This Romanesque basilica, constructed between 967-1398 AD, along with the adjacent cloister, are iconic.
Castelvecchio
Yes, Verona even has a castle. Be sure to walk across the castle bridge.
Other churches around Verona
If (like us) you're a fan of beautiful churches, Verona is the place for you! Apart from San Zeno, San Fermo Maggiore (pictured), Santa Anastasia, and Santa Maria in Organo are some of our other favorites.
Ponte Pietra
This bridge is one of many that crosses the Adige River, which runs around the city of Verona. The ancient Romans completed this one in 100 BC, making it the oldest of all the bridges in Verona.
Castel San Pietro
The best view of Verona is from here - both day and night!
Venice
Beautiful Venice is only an hour and a half by car or train from Verona. If you plan on extending your stay, we highly recommend making a visit here!
Bologna
Located two hours south of Verona by car or train, the capital of Gianluca's home region is one of our favorites.
