Recommended Guides and Books for Your Trip to Verona

To enhance your trip to Verona, I suggest reading "Verona: City of Love" by Jane Smith, which provides a detailed exploration of the city's romantic history and its iconic landmarks. Additionally, "Rick Steves Italy" is a comprehensive guidebook that covers practical travel tips, cultural insights, and must-see attractions throughout Italy, including Verona. For a deeper understanding of Verona's operatic scene, "The Opera Lover's Guide to Europe" by Carol Plantamura offers an engaging overview of the best opera houses and performances across Europe, including the famous Arena di Verona. These resources will equip you with valuable knowledge and enrich your travel experience.

About the destination

Set amid endless vineyards and cypress groves, this melange of Roman ruins, pink palazzi and fanciful sepulchres has a romantic beauty that is difficult to over-praise. Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet here, and would likely be amused to know that his imaginary lovers have become Verona’s hottest tourist attraction. Nonetheless, Verona has more to offer than just Romeo and Juliet. In Verona’s centre, Brà square, there is the almost perfectly preserved Roman Arena. Up via Mazzini from the Arena is piazza delle Erbe, where corny gadgets are sold amid the Renaissance palazzo of former Veronese merchants and has a lively atmosphere with pretty cafes and dazzling restaurants. Through an arch on the right are piazza dei Signori and the Tombs of the Scaligeri, the peculiar Gothic remnants of della Scalla, Verona’s medieval tyrants. The equestrian statue of Cangrande I, head of the Scalla clan is a glorification of raw power and can be visited at the museum of Castelvecchio. But if you are an incurable romantic, at 23 via Cappello you’ll find Juliet’s house, where lovers graffiti their hopeful pleas. The house where Romeo used to live is now a bar. This ancient city exudes history from every brick and is well worth a visit.
