   10 min

2. The famous piazza, ringed by elegant Renaissance palazzi, assumes still today political and administrative functions during the day but it is also the chosen location of the university crowd during the happy hour.

   10 min

3. These remarkable funerary tombs commemorate the Scaliger family who ruled Verona on 13th and 14th century. The most representative monument of the Gothic art, the tombs are placed within an enclosure of wrought iron grilles decorated with a stair motif, referring to the name of the della Scala family, meaning "of the stairs" in Italian.

   10 min

4. This is the reason why most of the tourist visit Verona, to visit and listen to one of the most romantic and tragic love story written by Shakespeare. He did indeed take inspiration for his famous play from a true story of family rivalry, forbidden love and feuding, all of which happened in Verona during the 1300s.

   10 min

5. Piazza delle Erbe, originally a Roman forum, is surrounded by buzzing cafes and some of Verona’s most sumptuous buildings. If you happen to be there during the week (Monday to Friday) you will also have a chance to do some shopping, there is a fruit and vegetables market in the morning.

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.
