Trendy Coctail lounges and bars

by Scorpionian

Hi there,

I am visiting Verona at the end of January and have a few friends to entertain and wanted to do this at a really trendy, with mature people (30 years onward) coctail bar/lounge. Or if you can suggest a dressy place as an alternative solution.

thank you

I don't know if it's trendy enough, but Aquila Nera has a large bar/cocktail area in the middle of the restaurant, and good food, too. I have more details on my Verona page, if that might help.

I think 2 or 3 bars along the NE side of Piazza Erbe qualify for your needs. There is also another one (sorry can't remember the name) along Corso Portoni Borsari, some 200 meters from Piazza Erbe going towards Porta Borsari (on the left).
Or Caffè Coloniale, between the end of Via Stella and the beginning of via Nizza (not far from Piazza Erbe).
Aquila Nera as suggested could be ok as well.
Hope this helps.
Ciao
Francesco

Travel Tips for Verona

A nice mix

by iandsmith

What you see here is the view from the archeological museum which, to my surprise and delight, was free. "Libero" the man said and, in I walked.
It's on many different levels with architecture from many ages on the actual site (including some Palladio).
The bridge shown here dates from the first century in Roman times, the only one of three to survive, and was refurbished by the Scaligeris then rebuilt after being severely damaged in the Second World War. The following is the Email I sent home:
"VERONA
A nothing kind of a day, a nothing kind of a place.
It was drizzling, at times raining but mostly drizzle. Every day of the holiday, bar one, it has either snowed, hailed or rained, mostly the former.
It was 2 degrees when I pulled up and started walking, firstly over the splendid Castelvecchio Bridge. It's part of an old castle that crosses the Adige River that bisects the town. With the Castle Museum closed for two days I digress to search for Giardino Giusto, getting lost en route without a quality map. (Regular readers will notice how it is never me that is at fault in this area!)
After about half an hour I find the Renaissance garden, no one in attendance at the entrance gate, and wander through the delightfully manicured hedges and statuary to my heart's content. Judging by the lack of footprints I gather I'm the first in today. I exit without anyone in attendance at the gate still.
I progress to the archaeological museum and ask the price. "Libero", I am told. This is turning out to be a cheap day, which partly makes up for the depressing weather.
The accumulated bits and pieces on about five different levels are interesting without being spectacular though the views from the top level are the best to be had in Verona.
This city also has the third largest Roman arena which has been returned to active use since 1913 for concerts and such and is currently undergoing refurbishing. After that, the one must see is Piazza Erbe, one of Italy's finest piazzas resplendent with 83 metre tower (a real neck strainer), fountain, palace and some walls with faded frescoes. It's all a bit special except the Americans have found it and they are there by the busload, literally, and their loud voices echo throughout the restaurant I'm dining at Piazza Erbe. Not to worry, soon I will be outside in the rain again!"

Roman Gateways II

by sandysmith

The other roman gateway to the city is Porta di Leoni - Lion's Gate. It takes its name from a sarcophagus lid bearing two lions (now found in the gardens at the end of the street opposite S.Fermo). The remains of one of the two polygonal towers can still be seen below the roadway, as can - next to a house - part of the facade that overlooked the city. This facade still contains a brick section from the oldest part of the gate (mid 1st century BC), faced with local white stone that was added halfway through the 1st century AD.

Architecture unlimited

by iandsmith

It was drizzling, I was nearly cross-legged in wanting to go to the toilet and assumed San Zero would have one. I was stopped in my tracks however, by this special building at the side of the church.
With some bits obviously dating back to Roman times and others decidedly much more modern, I yearned for the walls to talk. Surely they could tell us a score of wondrous stories, about how they were rebuilt after the earthquake for one, about the Scaligeri's reign, about the Venetian influence.
The variety here kept my rapt attention for some time. In one wall I could see so much more than I would ever see in Juliet's balcony, so called. That's why I spend time in places like this.

Romeo's House

by croisbeauty

This fine Medieval building is popularly identified with the House of the Montecchi, or Montagues, Romeo's family.
The house is built of brick, and there are still traces of the original battlements, although it is now in such bad condition that no visitors are allowed into the inner courtyard. BTW, there is a very good restaurant right next to the Romeo's House. It is more expensive then average restaurants in Verona but it does not metter because the food is excellent.

San Zeno

by croisbeauty

The style of the sculptural decorations in the form of telamons, months, prophets, zoomorphous and vegetal elementsis mature and essential. Polychrome lunette portraying Saint Zeno receiving the homage of the citizens. Frieze depicting scenes from the Saint's life.
Bronze doors, the real masterpiece, obtained assembling doors of different periods and the work of different unknown artists.
