Discover Verona

I found Verona to be one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. For example, Verona boasts stunning architecture, ancient frescos, beautiful churches and lovely piazzas. Verona’s main attractions are its wealth of Roman ruins mixed with its charming, pedestrian-only ambiance. Roman and medieval bridges add important characteristics dating back to Roman times. The Adige River snakes through town, adding to the delightful atmosphere. The list of WOW just goes on and on in Verona, Italy!

This ancient city is built on the banks of the Adige River and is one of the main tourist destinations in Northern Italy. You are close to Venice and only a 30 minute drive to Lake Garda. Once you visit, it is easy to see why. This city of love and passion is a must see. Flowers and greenery are everywhere. It’s a photographer’s dream city.

Every step is a surprise….

To truly discover Verona is to wander all the narrow streets and cobblestone lanes. There are wide roads dating back to Roman times, as well as narrow medieval ones, which hide treasures and amazing sights. Moreover, it is known as the city of love and the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Raising the wow factor to the roof is the numerous amount of wineries right outside the city gates. Verona is famous for wines like Valpolicella, Amarone, Prosecco and Soave!

Pictures of Verona Attractions

Piazza Erbe is my favorite and most picturesque piazza. For centuries it was the heart of the social and religious life of Verona. Today, it is a vibrant beautiful square which still holds its historic market every day except Sunday. It offers a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables, local specialties, souvenirs and clothing.

The tremendous cobbled Piazza Bra has a park on one side and a line of restaurants and cafes along the other. What’s more, you will find the magnificent Verona Arena dominating the NE end of the Piazza.
