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.

At fast I was afraid to travel alone in Verona.
At fast I was afraid to travel alone in Verona. Because I thought there are full of couple travelers but I recommend here to visit for solo travelers as well. It's a peaceful and cute city.
A lot of souvenir shops and nice gelatterias ;)

Great experience.
Great experience. Food and drink not as expensive as we thought. If staying Hotel Europa on Villa Roma is good value for money and an excellent location. Don't book the hotel breakfast and eat on the main squares instead. Getting around is so easy just follow the signs. Opera is amazing and the mid priced tickets give you an excellent view and you get a numbered seat but still hire a cushion!! Cafes are open when you come out so can grab a coffee. fantastic trip!!

We were able to see most of the things we had on our list in our two days. We were jet lagged - so we could have used a third day, but without it two days would be fine. Tons of history, plus great restaurants and shops.

A beautiful town in northern Italy with a surprising variety of things to do. Excellent restaurants and great walking tours of the city. In particular walking along the river was a very enjoyable experience with lots of photo opportunities. I would visit there again.
“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 hotel is in a quiet and great location! It is within walking distance of all of the main attractions and down a short street to the theater. The room, bed, and AC were great. We enjoyed the many varied options for breakfast and the good coffee. We also enjoyed the sights of Verona. We would gladly return!”
“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!”
“Hotel was convenient to arena on the main piazza of Verona. Breakfast was plentiful and included with room rate, but it did not begin service until 9 AM.”
