This tour involves a walking exploration of Verona, starting from Piazza Bra where you will see the Area of Verona. The route continues along Via Mazzini, Verona's renowned shopping street, leading to Juliet's House. You will also visit Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Porta Borsari, and the Arche Scaligere. The tour concludes at the Ponte di Pietra, with an optional funicular ride to San Pietro hill for an elevated view of the city. Suitable for small groups, the tour provides a comprehensive overview of Verona's key sights.
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.
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.
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.
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.
