 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!

Things to Do  

Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet, Verona

 108 Reviews  In the old town section of Verona on via Capello, there are many medieval era buildings. In one there is a small balcony overlooking a courtyard with a statue of Juliet. Of course, this is now the Juliet's Balcony and all things star crossed. We found it rather comical that so many people had to rub... 

Arena

Arena, Verona

 115 Reviews  At most places you will not see the outside walls of the arena any more, as it was destroyed in an earthquake plenty of centuries ago and the inhabitants from Verona took away the stones to build and restore their own houses.. There is only a small part of the outside-facade left and you may see it... 

Piazza delle Erbe

Piazza delle Erbe, Verona

 90 Reviews  I never saw such a lovely single column at any other place in Italy, BUT in Verona I saw the one in Via mazzini and this one at the south-east-end of the Piazza dell Erbe. And they are almost alike, at least by their structure and architecture. In the back of my picture you will also see a good... 

Piazza dei Signori - Piazza Dante

Piazza dei Signori - Piazza Dante, Verona

 62 Reviews  Palazzo dei Tribunali is another interesting building facing Piazza Dante. In the innercourt you may see 2 round areas, covered by glass, where you woll be able to look down to a lower level of the ground with foundations and a mosaique of the roman times. The Palazzo dei Tribunali dates back to the...

Restaurants  

Trattoria or/and Osteria

Trattoria or/and Osteria, Verona

 22 Reviews  The name, in latin, meas something like "Winefood". It is a very small little restaurant, hiiden in a small "vicolo " west from Piazza Bra. A short walk from the roman Arena, but away from the crowds of tourists. Familly managed, they serve to the very few tables (there is a few upstairs so) a... 

Ristorante

Ristorante, Verona

 35 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... 

Nightlife  

Opera night at Arena

Opera night at Arena, Verona

 23 Reviews  Sunday, August 10, 1913 was the hundredth birthday of the composer Giuseppe Verdi. For this occasion his opera Aida was performed in the Arena di Verona -- the first opera performance in this magnificent open-air venue. By the end of the 2005 season they had performed Aida 484 times, and 16 more... 

live music

live music, Verona

 9 Reviews  On Mondays the Arena di Verona stays dark to give all the people who work there a day off. So on the Monday evening when I was there I went to a chamber music concert in the courtyard of the church of San Luca (Chiostro di San Luca Evangelista) on Corso Porta Nuova just a block or so from Piazza... 

Transportation  

Train

Train, Verona

 20 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... 

Buses

Buses, Verona

 7 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... 

Shopping  

Clothes & shoes

Clothes & shoes, Verona

 10 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... 

Fleamarket

Fleamarket, Verona

 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  In the entrance of the building, where you will see the famous (BUT false) balcony , where Giulietta Capelletti met Romeo Montecchi, you will be able to stick your Love-letters on a wall , where you will find already thousands of other love-letters. To post your love-letters there is to be said to...

Pick Pockets

Pick Pockets, Verona

 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...

The hidden little gems of the town

Giardino Giusti

Giardino Giusti, Verona

 11 Reviews  We found this walking to Castel San Pietro. You can walk in and see the "renaissance garden" open up to you. Even if you do not want to pay the 5 euro or so to see it, you can get a peek of the beautifully sculpted gardens. If you choose to see the entire gardens, including a great view of Verona,...
