Too Many Tourists ! Depending On The Seasons...
In a nutshell

A fantastic place to stay but also great as a base to visit northern Italy. Milan, Lake Garda and Venice are very close and transport is very cheap!
123 Reviews "Juliet lives here, write to her!" So it says in five languages, right above her mailbox. Evidently people have been writing to Juliet for years, and the letters are answered by her volunteer "secretaries" who are members of the Juliet Club in Verona. There is even a contest every year in February...
135 Reviews Verona doesn't need mythical connections to Romeo and Juliet as it has a long and glorious history all of its own. One of the oldest, and most striking, examples of this is the Roman Arena that is still fully functional despite thousands of years of wear and the ravages of powerful earthquakes. It...
112 Reviews The usual entrance to the church is on the feft side, from Stradone S. Fermo, where a staircase, covered by a massive porch, leads up to the door. There are a 13th century frescoes in the lunette, the one on the left by Fr. Morone, 1523. The Main Door is flanked by two Porched tombs; left Monument...
95 Reviews In the Piazza della Erbe you will find the Lamberti tower standing at almost 85 metres high. You can climb it if you're game or spend about a euro and take the lift. Either way its most definately worth it for a shot of the panoroma of medieval verona and beyond. Definately recommended....
3 Reviews and 507 Opinions I stayed here for 3 nights on a city break to Verona and couldn't have wished for a more perfect...
43 Reviews While ago, during one of my first visits to Verona, I had dinner in the restaurant situated on Piazza delle Erbe. It wasn't bad but also it was a bit under my expectations. This time I saw menu outside the restaurant indicating "bacalla" fish, and since it was friday (in my country it is habbit to...
22 Reviews There is a huge covered piazza outside for tables over spill during the season. We ate indoors and started with prosecco then antipasto followed by secondi of pollo arrosto and delicious maiale. Mineral waters, local San Pietro white wine and desserts totalled Eu77 all in. Very good service,...
24 Reviews Don't believe the hype. This is an endurance test rather than a fantastic musical experience. What struck me most was that when the performance started I could barely hear it. Admittedly, I was in the unnumbered seats, but so are most people, and I was in one of the better positioned of these seats....
9 Reviews My insomnia was awful in Verona. After our first night there when I was told to go to my room by the hotel staff who wanted to turn the lobby lights off I knew it was no use to try reading quietly in the lobby. So on on my second night I went out for another wander. Verona felt perfectly safe at...
25 Reviews DEPOSITO BAGAGLI is the italian name... You can find one (see picture #1) at the Porta Nuova Train station but, since every bus from/to the province stops there, it may be convenient for leaving your luggage while doing a few hours trip to the citycenter while changing bus, too. Looking at the...
11 Reviews The Ryanair site lists only one bus a day, but has two flights a day. I'm pretty sure that they run a bus to meet each incoming and outgoing planet, but you might want to double-check. I had no problems with the service at all, and it will always wait for you if the plane is late. The only confusion...
11 Reviews Via Mazzini is the sort of place I will be shopping in one day. Hopefully. Want some Gucci, Cartier or Fendi designer gear? Well, step over that guy from the Ivory Coast selling the knock off versions and amble down the street known as the 'Golden Mile' Its also quite a nice stroll from both...
6 Reviews This is definetely the object I would like to buy, and old gramophone which still works. The price was around one thousand euros, but negotiale. The fleamarket offers lots of various stuff, I am sure you'll find something according to your preferences.
14 Reviews There are so many contradictions regarding W. Shakespeare and his work, some experts doubt he ever visited Italy and Verona, others doubts he wrote all those novels among which "Romeo and Juliet" is probably the best known. To those who visiting Verona it is absolutely irelevant, this beautiful...
12 Reviews The magnificent look of the apse and Romanesque bell-tower of the basilica of San Zeno. The roof and the apse were rebuilt in the Gothic period. The weathered Veronese stone of which the basilica is built has a warm golden tone, and the restrained lines of the pillars, the columns, the cornices and...
5 Reviews This is Portoni della Bra, the City Gate - entrance into the Centro Storico of Verona. This part of the town is very crowded with thousands of tourists, also it is crowded with pickpockets too. Be very careful when entering in the Arena, standing in front of it surrounded with the crowd or strolling...
Lago di Garda & surroundings of the town
39 Reviews These are some typical views of the castle and the water side. People could be horrific in the summer. The whole peninsula brings them to the point and nowhere to turn but go back. The town is not big enough to hold all that show up, let alone parking. WE parked for 1.80 Euro an ora, and that is...
The hidden little gems of the town
28 Reviews The bust of Felice Cavallotti, 1842-1898, stands on the wall in the passage of Scaliger palace. He was Italian politician, poet and dramatic. In 1860 and 1866 he faught with the Garibaldi Corps. Cavalotti was killed on the 6th of March 1898 in a duel with Count Macola, editor of the conservative...
94 Reviews Palazzo Canossa is early 16th century structure, erected by comission of noble Canossa family to Michele Sanmicheli, a famous architect from Verona. The palace was built in 1527 in Mannerist style. One of the ceilings in the palace had frescoes by Gian Battista Tiepolo but they were lost in a...
23 Reviews I have just one day, or just few hours... What is a real must see? How many time we visist a city, even deserving more, but we don't have the time to see it at the right (slow) pace. It's a pity, but everyone of us did it, right? So, if you have only a few hours, here is a guide of 4 verona...
