A Shakespearean Fairytale
A darling of Shakespeare, beautiful Verona is the literary home of Romeo and Juliet. The medieval families of Montague and Capulet immortalized in the tragic play did actually exist and some buildings relating to the Montagues are still present.
Sorry to disappoint, but the place purporting to have been Juliet's house in Verona was not actually where she lived. However, it’s still worth suspending reality for a while and stepping out onto the balcony to see if Romeo turns up.
Another of the must-see Verona sights is the Arena, a largely intact Roman amphitheater which is now the spectacular setting for outdoor summer operas. Smaller Roman relics include the stone bridge that crosses the river by the Roman theater whose remains are partly beneath a house.
The city’s narrow streets house many cafes and restaurants which have cheaper fare than the touristy ones by the Arena, although admittedly the views are less impressive. Life in Verona is laid back and elegant, so expect to see some well-heeled Italians on a post-dinner passeggiata.
Verona Airport is a little out of town, so you’ll need to take a bus to get to your Verona hotel, apartment or B&B. Book with Booking.com for the best choice.

Lovely Italian city with so much old world charm;
Lovely Italian city with so much old world charm; so much to see and do within easy walking distance! Now one of favorite cities in Italy. Much like a small Florence with less crowds of tourists and noise. Step off the main road or piazza and eat with locals. Lots of yummy food and less expensive.

למרות שאחרי רומא הכל מחוויר, המקום מטופח וצבעוני.
למרות שאחרי רומא הכל מחוויר, המקום מטופח וצבעוני. מרגישים אווירה רומנטית באוויר. בכלל מקום שכיף לטייל וללכת בו לאיבוד.

A very easy city to get around in.
A very easy city to get around in. We walked everywhere. We especially liked the walkway along the river on the other side from the main piazzas. It was not as crowded. The walk up the many steps to see a view of the city is tiring but completely worth it.

Lots to see & do.
Lots to see & do. Great architecture, great food - try to find Encibus a small family run place, inexpensive but great food and lovely people, it's in vicolo Romano 3 - close to Piazza Bra.
You can walk everywhere, even the station is only 25 minutes from Piazza Bra. But don't forget to get the funicular up to Castle S Pietro for great views and go up the lovely staircase & tower by Piazza dell'Erbe . It's also easy to get to lake Garda & Venice or anywhere by train

Skipping the fake Romeo and Juliette stuff, it's a beautiful, ancient city with atmosphere, great food and shopping, and other sights worth visiting. See a show at the Roman Arena, if possible. Nothing like it!
“This is in an ideal location! We ate at Tarantella several times; it is just down the street with wonderful food. It was great to go out at 7am to view the sites of Piazza Erba. The gelato at Amourine (something like that name) was the best in Italy!”
“We had an apartment like Suite as a family room in their next door dependance and it was big and had very elegant furnishing and the bathroom was elegant.
Breakfast buffet was very plenty and from health food to croissants they had it all. For Italy amazing.
10 min walk straight up the road to the Arena of Verona. Perfect location!”
“Elena was very accommodating--we were leaving early for the airport, so she prepared breakfast according to our schedule. The location was great for attending the opera, and everything in Verona is pretty accessible by foot. The apartment was exceptional... funky decor and well-supplied. And the shower was the best we had in Italy.”
“The best hotel I've ever seen in Italy! People working there are really love what they do! Very comfortable rooms and breakfast is over of our expectations. The Hotel is located in Quite place and, taking in mind that Historical Verona is not too large, not far from the city's center”
“The staff was probably the nicest and most friendly of any we encounter in all of Italy!
Molto belle! That made the stay so much more enjoyable. The went out of their way to assist you! I wish we had more time to stay there.....next time we're in Verona we are staying at Hotel Bologna!!!!! It was our 25th Anniversary and we only stayed 1 night and they even gave us a bottle of Prosecco!”
