Verona, a picturesque town in the northern part of the Veneto region of Italy, is a place where history, romance and culture blend seamlessly. Known worldwide as the setting for the tragic love story of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, Verona is a city that exudes timeless charm and attracts visitors from all over the world.
There are several parking houses in Verona, we chose the one in Piazza Cittadella. From there we went to Piazza Brà, the square where the Arena di Verona is located. It is an ancient amphitheatre, the third largest in Italy, where various concerts, operas and festivals are still held. Its construction was completed around the year 30, and it is one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres. Today, it can seat up to 22,000 spectators.
In the centre of Verona’s historic district is Piazza delle Erbe, which is also worth mentioning. In the square you will find a fountain with a statue, nicknamed “Madonna Verona”.
Another tourist destination located in Verona is Juliet’s house – Casa di Giulietta. The house itself is not very interesting, but there is the famous balcony where Romeo professed his love to Juliet. There are a lot of tourists here, in my opinion you can easily skip the visit to the famous balcony and save a few euros that you pay for the entrance and the courtyard itself.
The Scaligero Bridge and Castelvecchio Castle in its typical brick colour are also worth a visit. During the Second World War, the bridge was destroyed by Wehrmacht troops and had to be rebuilt with the original bricks that were pulled from the Adige River.
