Small Group Tour in Verona from Abano T. and Montegrotto T.

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. To visit Verona it is obvious to start from the central Piazza Bra, which blends buildings from different eras and architectures in the bright, sunny light that crosses it. The Arena, Palazzo Barbieri and the Gran Guardia are the most famous and admired, but the Fontana delle Alpi, the Liston with its noble palaces, the Visconti walls, the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II and the Pentagona Tower are no less important.

   1 h

2. The Arena of Verona is, together with Juliet's house, the monument for which the city is famous in Italy and worldwide. It is the third largest Roman amphitheatre after the Colosseum and the Arena of Capua. It can hold about 20,000 people, which is believed to have been the entire population of Verona in the 1st century AD, the period when the monument was built.

   1 h

3. The house is a medieval building with a 13th-century layout, its brick façade refined by elegant three-lobed windows. At the front stands the famous balcony from which, according to tradition, Juliet looked out to talk to her Romeo.

   1 h

4. A monumental tomb, majestic and scenic, which for over seven hundred years has housed the mortal remains of the ancient Lords of Verona. Here rest the Princes of the Della Scala family, with their elaborate equestrian sculptures rising towards the sky as if in an endless petrified tournament.

   1 h

5. Built in the first century B.C. to replace a pre-existing wooden bridge, Ponte Pietra is the oldest Roman monument in Verona and perhaps also the most impressive. It joined the original route of the Via Postumia with the hill in front of it at a ford, used since the dawn of time.

About Verona

Verona, in Veneto, is a Roman and medieval city on a loop of the Adige, with a vast arena, Juliet's balcony and Lake Garda close by.

The Adige curves around Verona's old centre, and the city's Roman past is plain to see in the Arena, an amphitheatre of the first century that still stages open-air opera in summer. Piazza delle Erbe, the market square on the old Roman forum, is lined with frescoed houses and has a column topped by the lion of Venice, and the Torre dei Lamberti beside it can be climbed. The historic city is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
