What To See In Verona

The city is visited by many couples in love looking for romantic times and attracted by the story of Romeo and Juliet, as well as an interesting place for those loving artworks. Juliet’s House is a stone’s throw from Piazza delle Erbe. The real name for the house is Cappelletti Palace, a middle class building from mediaeval times. Here is the famous balcony from which Juliet spoke to Romeo. Other attractions from this story are Juliet’s tomb and Romeo’s house.

Verona has plenty of Roman buildings. A special mention, of course, goes to the Roman Theatre, also known as the Arena, dating back to the first century, and the walls around the historical centre, where some of the old gates to the city, like the Borsari or the Lions ones, can still be seen. 

The city walls are close to the Adige River, whose banks are designed for pedestrian walk along the city centre, with a great view on the only Roman bridge left in town. The Stone Wall Bridge was built in 148 BC in wood. It has been rebuilt throughout the centuries, after being destroyed many times by either the action of men or floods from the river, nevertheless remaining one of Verona’s most beautiful monuments.

The renaissance buildings and those built by the Scala family are other great attractions for tourists. It is impossible not to be amazed by the Castelvecchio Bridge, leading to the homonymous fortress, now a museum. The entire structure dates back to the fourteenth century and is one of the most important examples of Veronese mediaeval architecture. From the same times is the architecture of the Piazza dei Signori, with the Loggia del Consiglio , old palaces of power, still inhabited and used. 

An absolute must is a visit to the Arena, the famous Roman amphitheatre, home of many events, especially opera. Located north of Bra Square, the biggest place in Verona, the Arena is a Roman building, perfectly preserved.

Despite the cold temperatures, Christmastime is magic in Verona. Christmas illumination along the streets of the centre and the markets make the city even more beautiful and charming.
