Useful Information about travelling in Verona

Verona is a medieval town located in northern Italy's Veneto region. It is known for being the setting for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." The city is also home to the Verona Arena, a 1st century Roman amphitheater which is now used for concerts and large-scale opera performances.

There are several different types of city tours available in Verona. There are walking tours that cover the city's landmarks, underground tours, and historical itineraries. There are even tours geared toward children, which can include interactive activities and educational workshops. One tour focuses on the Roman Arena, while another explores the city's food culture.

Several bus tours are available in Verona. One line goes from Piazza Bra to the Arena Square and stops at the Giusti Gardens and the Santo Stefano church. Other routes travel to other parts of the city, including the famous historic area, including the Piazza delle Erbe and the Basilica of St. Anthony.

You can purchase tickets for the City Sightseeing Bus tour online. Make sure to print your voucher before boarding the bus as the staff won't accept electronic vouchers. The tour will last approximately two hours, and the ticket can be used for as many rides as you wish. If you want to spend more time sightseeing, you can join one of the guided tours that focus on different historical periods, like the Renaissance or Romanesque eras.

The best things to do in Verona

If you are planning a trip to Verona, you should know what to do. For starters, there are plenty of things to see and do, such as the Giusti Gardens, where you can relax with some shade and flowers. You should also check out the Castello Vecchio, which dates back to the Middle Ages. It was built for defense, and today it houses a museum with paintings, bells, and other artifacts. If you're interested in learning more about the city's history, you can also visit the ARCO DEI GAVI, a museum that contains artifacts from Roman and Greek times.

Romeo and Juliet tourism

If you're looking for a bit of history while in Verona, consider visiting the 'Juliet's House.' This 13th century building is now a museum dedicated to Juliet. It is a good example of Gothic architecture in Verona, and is also home to a statue of the heroine. Visitors are encouraged to rub her statue, and some have even scribbled graffiti on the walls. You can also tour her house and stand on her balcony. You can even see some of the costumes from the 1936 Romeo and Juliet film.

If you're not a fan of Shakespeare, you can still take the tour to the Juliet House. As a heritage site, the Juliet House is Verona's most popular tourist attraction. Though there's no guarantee that Juliet whispered her famous lines on the balcony, you'll still be able to see where the lovebirds met.

Romeo and Juliet's house

If you are in Verona and love Shakespeare, it's hard not to stop by Romeo and Juliet's house in the city. This ancient residence is known as the house of love and is a symbol for the city. It's an iconic location and a haven for those who believe in love. The interior of the house is a museum and is used for symbolic ceremonies and art exhibitions. It also has a courtyard that borders the Verona theatre. Itinerant plays are sometimes held here.

Though the play is fictional, the setting is real, and the house is where Juliet and Romeo met. The palace is still known as Juliet's House, and pilgrimages to it are common. Since the 18th century, visitors have made pilgrimages to Verona to honor the famous couple. The house, a 13th century building, has become linked to the story of love, death, and revenge.

Piazzale Castel San Pietro

One of the best things to do in Verona is to take a walk around Piazzale Castel San Pietro. This picturesque square is a 20-minute walk from the center of the city, and it's a popular spot for evening strolls. If you don't feel like walking, there's an elevator near the Ponte Pietra, the bridge across the Adige River.

Taking the cable car to Piazzale Castel San Pietro is another great way to experience Verona's history. You'll get an excellent view of the city and the surrounding hills. The area is also home to the ruins of a Roman theater. If you feel adventurous, you can take the steep staircase to the top of the hill, where you can enjoy the best views of the city.

Ponte Pietra

Across the Ponte Pietra bridge from Verona's city center is the Roman Theatre and Archaeological Museum. This historic venue, which was built into a hillside along the Adige River, is still used for performances. This historical site offers picturesque views of the city and on-site exhibits showcase important artifacts from the city's Roman past.

For more culture, walk around the beautiful Piazza delle Erbe, one of the main streets in Verona. You'll find a variety of bars and restaurants around the square, and it's a great place to people-watch. You can also check out the Palazzo Maffei, a baroque palace. While you're here, don't miss the statue of St. Mark, which stands atop a white marble pillar.

Sunday flea market

Verona is a fashionable city, and visiting the Sunday flea market is a great way to spend an afternoon. If you're looking for bargains, you can pick up a great variety of items, including vintage clothing, antiques, and jewelry. You can even buy beautiful art pieces, Murano glassware, and old books. The prices are also very reasonable, which is great for tourists.

The Sunday flea market in the historic center of town is a great place to buy second-hand items. The stalls sell vintage clothes, art, and furniture. You can also visit the Teatro Stabile, which performs Shakespearean classics such as Romeo and Juliet. If you're into theatre, don't miss a performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. The Teatro Nuovo is another venue where you can see a play.
