David Schiersner/Verona Sights of Verona
Verona is literally replete with attractions, with many historical monuments and architectural structures preserved here, but what really made Verona so popular among tourists was Shakespeare's immortal play about love, Romeo and Juliet, which takes place in the medieval streets of the city. Since then, Verona has been secretly considered the city of love. Top attractions in the city that you can explore on your own include the Roman Arena, Lamberti Tower, Castelvecchio Castle with an art museum inside, Basilica Maggiore, Pietra Bridge, Giusti Palace and Gardens, Juliet's House, Juliet's Tomb, Romeo's House.
The historical center of Verona is beautiful, especially if you go up to one of the city’s observation platforms and see Verona from above, then it will become clear that the old city is divided by a river, but connected by an ancient arched bridge, from which all the narrow streets of the city depart.
The Arena di Verona, or , is the iconic place of Verona. This ancient Roman amphitheater was built before our century and is the third largest facility of its kind in Italy. It is all the more surprising that the building has survived to this day, and not only has survived, but is also actively used, because it is here that opera concerts are held, incl. famous opera "Romeo and Juliet". This is not surprising, because almost every important object in Verona is, in one way or another, associated with this play, which made the city famous throughout the world. You can visit the walls of the Arena either with a tour or attend one of the concerts held here (held only in the summer, since the arena is located in the open air).
Eric Bauer/Roman Arena The Tower is considered to be the tallest building in old Verona and is extremely popular among tourists, because from here you can see Verona at a glance. The height of the tower is 84 meters. The tower is located on one of the central squares of old Verona - Erbe Square, which is decorated with beautiful fountains and other architectural objects. By the way, you can climb to the observation deck either by stairs or by elevator, so the attraction is a must-see and is accessible to anyone.
Construction Castle Castelvecchio Dating back to the 10th century, it was once just a defensive fortress, but later it was overgrown with castle towers and cozy courtyards, and these days it has become a truly top attraction; no wonder the castle was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Well, for Russian tourists the castle is also notable for the fact that it resembles the Moscow Kremlin in miniature. Inside the castle there is an art museum with a rich collection of paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages. The museum exhibits works mainly by local Veronese artists.
Pedro/Lamberti Tower If you want to take a walk in a shady place (and the sun in Verona burns mercilessly) with beautiful views, then you are in. Gardens appeared here around the palace of the same name, and soon became one of the most original landscape gardens in Europe. The gardens here were built at the end of the 15th century, decorated with sculptures, and even a maze made of greenery! By the way, the garden is a natural viewing platform; here you can find places with beautiful views of Verona. There is an entrance fee to both the palace and the gardens, but it's worth it.
The most famous sights of Verona associated with Shakespeare's play are considered Juliet's house(the one with the balcony and the statue), Juliet's tomb And Romeo's house. All these objects are located separately from each other, so to see them all, you will have to wander around the beautiful old Verona.
In Juliet's house (on Capello Street) there is now a museum, but the most attractive part of the house is considered to be the courtyard, onto which the windows of Juliet's room and the famous balcony open, where Romeo confessed his love to the young girl. There is a statue of Juliet in the courtyard; rubbing it is believed to bring good luck. Also, many people leave notes with wishes on the wall of the house. Juliet's tomb is also located in the museum, but in another one - on Pontiere Street, the tomb is open for inspection by tourists. Romeo's house suffered a more prosaic fate; it did not become a museum; now there is a restaurant open here.

Verona is not a very large city, and not the most central, and has few facts of historical significance in its biography. But it is so full of attractions, so powerfully combines different eras, that you wonder why tourists are drawn here only by two famous objects: the Arena di Verona amphitheater and Juliet's House.
Meanwhile, in Verona the remains of walls and pavements and even a theater from the times of Ancient Rome feel great. There are a large number of bridges, houses, palaces, fortresses, towers and churches built in the Middle Ages and retaining their appearance. The Renaissance left its mark on Verona. There is something to be surprised and something to admire here.
Visited Verona
History of Verona in brief
No one knows the exact time of the founding of the city on the Adige River; settlements have been formed here since prehistoric times. They also don’t know who founded this city: whether it was the Etruscans or the Euganean tribe; there is even a hypothesis that Verona was founded under the Emperor Domitian. In any case, when the settlement in 89 BC. received the status of a Roman colony, prosperity and rapid growth began. The city was built and surrounded by walls. The early Middle Ages were a more than active time for Verona: the Goths fought here with the Byzantines, the Byzantines with the Lombards, the Lombards were driven out by the Franks - Verona was in the thick of things, it was always used as a fortress. The ruling dynasties succeeded each other: first the Romano family, then the famous Scala family (Scaligeri), then the Visconti, followed by Carrara. Since the 15th century, Verona has been under the rule of Venice. After the city was captured by Napoleon's troops in 1796, Verona was divided between the French and Austrians: French military units were stationed on the right bank, and Austrian units on the left bank. Since 1815, Verona lived entirely under the rule of the Austrian Habsburgs, and only in 1866, after the Third War of Italian Independence, did it become part of the united Italian state. During World War II, the ancient city was heavily damaged by bombing.
Paradoxically, Verona is known to the whole world thanks to Shakespeare, who settled his Romeo and Juliet there, who in fact never lived or died here.

"Juliet's House"
"Juliet's House" of the 13th century with a balcony added later The house attracts the majority of those who come to Verona like a magnet. On the streets you will even see signs with the direction to it. In fact, this is a 13th-century house that belonged to the Dal Capello family, and then, from the 17th century, changed owners and gradually fell into disrepair. In the 30s of the 20th century, after the release of a film based on Shakespeare's tragedy, the house was bought by the municipality to set up a museum for the heroine of the play. It was restored and even rebuilt several times. A balcony was added, and a bronze statue of Juliet was installed in the courtyard. The path to the courtyard leads through an arch, the walls of which are covered with love messages from millions of tourists who have visited here.
The house contains the costumes of the actors from Franco Zeffirelli’s film based on Shakespeare’s play, and Juliet’s bedroom has been “recreated.”

Before World War II, the house was bought and given to a literary society to organize a museum here, but the war prevented these plans from being realized. Afterwards, the house became private property, and the current owners have no desire to set up a museum here.
Other sights of Verona
But when you find yourself on Piazza d'Erbe(Place of Herbs), you will see the true and beautiful Verona, medieval and almost fabulous. This market square lies on the site of the ancient forum, and is surrounded on all sides by historical buildings built in the Middle Ages.
Each of them is a landmark of Verona: Domus Mercatorum- House of Merchants built in the 11th-12th centuries, Palazzo Maffei- a baroque palace, built on the site of a medieval building, rebuilt more than once, adjacent to the palazzo on the left clock tower del Gardello, towering here since 1370, House Mazzanti XIV century, whose facade is painted with frescoes on mythical themes, 83-meter Lamberti Tower, built in 1172, which you can climb and see Verona from a bird's eye view (the ticket costs 8 euros, lift available from 8:30 before 19:30 ) - in a word, a large historical open-air museum. It's right on the square fountain "Verona Madonna" XIV century, in which a Roman sculpture dating back to 380 and marble was used as the Madonna "Tribune", built in the 13th century, standing or sitting in which the podestà took the oath and performed his duties.
Located next to Piazza d'Erbe Piazza della Signoria. It is more restrained in colors, because palaces of power structures have stood on it for a long time: Palazzo del Podesta, Palazzo del Ragione And Loggia of captains, and in the center of the square stands Dante monument.
A visit to Palazzo Ragione is included in the same ticket as the Lamberti Tower.
And very close to Piazza della Signoria there is an openwork and ornate structure: Arches of the Scaligers. These are the tombs of three representatives of the Scaliger family, who ruled Verona in the Middle Ages. One of them is built in the form of a tabernacle; it is an incredibly beautiful marble structure.
A little further behind the Piazza des Traves and Piazza della Signoria there is a beautiful Gothic Church of St. Anastasia, erected in 1290-1481. The decoration of the church has preserved many frescoes, a beautiful mosaic floor, the chapels are decorated with sculptural works by famous Italian masters.
The church is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, on weekends from 13:00 to 18:00. Entrance - 2.50 euro.
After a few blocks on a narrow street you will see the high portal of the facade Verona Duomo. The cathedral was founded in the 12th century on the site of an older church. The Romanesque style of the portal looks very unusual and attractive: the columns of the portico are supported by winged griffins. In the crypt of the cathedral you can see the ancient marble font. This temple contains many secrets and stores many masterpieces of human hands.
Among the works kept in the cathedral are paintings by Titian and Liberale da Verona.
The cathedral is open from 10:00 to 17:30(on weekends from 13.00).
Entrance - 5 euros.
The stone bridge is one of the symbols of Verona Very close to the Duomo is another calling card of Verona - Ponte di Pietra(A stone bridge). The foundation of the bridge dates back to 89 AD. Initially, the bridge was wooden; in 1239 it collapsed, and in its place in 1503 a stone bridge was erected, which again connected the two banks of the Adige. You will come out onto the bridge from the arch of the tower, on the opposite bank you will see Teatro Romano, an ancient Roman theater that still performs performances to this day.
On the streets of the center of Verona, here and there you will see the remains of ancient Roman buildings, there is even a preserved Roman pavement. You can see it while standing on a modern road, built on stilts over its predecessor and open for inspection. Some gates from Roman times have also been preserved. Eg, Porta Borsari- a three-tiered gate that served as the southern entrance to the city.
And behind Porta Borsari rise the walls of the medieval Castelvecchio(Old Castle), built by the Della Scala family (Scaligers). The castle was built in the 14th century on the site of an ancient fort. The castle was heavily damaged in 1796 during the uprising of the townspeople against the marauding soldiers of Napoleon's army. In the middle of the 19th century, the castle was restored.
The famous “Swallowtails” are a favorite architectural motif of northern Italy, as well as a trademark of the Moscow Kremlin Powerful walls made of red brick with battlements reminiscent of the battlements of the Kremlin walls, seven watchtowers, a hundred-meter Scaliger Bridge, built in 1355 - the only connection between Castelvecchio and the city. The bridge, by the way, was so solidly built that it stood without reconstruction for more than five hundred years.
At the end of World War II, retreating German troops blew it up. But the bridge was restored according to the surviving drawings in its original form. On the territory of the castle there is a wonderful Castelvecchio Museum: in its 26 halls almost all Italian medieval art, Romanesque and medieval sculpture and painting, Renaissance and Baroque art are presented. There is a hall with an exhibition of weapons.
The museum is open daily from 8:30 to 19:30, on Mondays from 13:30 to 19:30.

Where to stay in Verona
Even if you planned to explore Verona in a day, anything can happen (for example, you want to stay here for a while). Therefore, you need to think about spending the night. Naturally, we direct you to resources www.airbnb.ru- search for apartments and www.booking.com- hotels, hostels, mini-hotels, apartments. But we suggest that you not ignore the recommendations.
Here are a few hotels in the center of Verona that many travelers have tried: 3 star hotel Aurora(its facade looks out onto Piazza d'Erbe), night in a double room 140 euros, hotel of the same category Milano(located near the Arena di Verona) - 135 euros, hotel Relais 900 - 100 euro, hotel Best Western Hotel Capuleti - 114 euros, hotel Bologna - 110 euros.

Rent a car in Verona
By and large, a car is not particularly needed in Verona. Almost all sights can be explored on foot - the historical center of the city is not very large. And walking here is much nicer and more convenient. However, if you still need a car, here are several sites where you can order a car in advance: cars-scanner.com, rentalcars.com.
You can rent a car at Verona Airport: aeroportoverona.it.
Where to eat in Verona
Pasta is one of the most famous and beloved dishes of Italian cuisine. For experienced travelers, there is an unshakable rule: eat where the city residents themselves eat. That is, away from the historical center and tourist trails. This will make it both tastier and cheaper.
But if you don’t have much time in Verona to run around looking for cafes with true Veronese people, then we suggest paying attention to the following establishments:
- Trattoria Papa e Cicia- here for 11-15 euros you will get a full lunch, cooked like at home. The trattoria is located on via Seminario, 4. It is a 10-minute walk from the city center, on the other side of the Adige;
- Enocibus- located very close to the Arena di Verona, on vicolo Pomodoro, 3. This restaurant is run by a married couple who adhere to the rule of not fixing the menu, but the prices. The main course and pasta cost 5 euros each, a huge plate of salad costs 6.5 euros. Everything is prepared according to family recipes, something new every day, plus a huge wine list;
- Osteria Caffe' MonteBaldo- located in close proximity to Piazza d'Erbe. Here, a plate of pasta, a cup of coffee and a glass of wine will cost 13-15 euros, a full lunch, which includes typical Verona cuisine and extensive Italian cuisine, from 20 euros. Website: osteriamontebaldo.com.
However, it is impossible to mention all the cafes, trattorias and restaurants in Verona - there are too many of them. You definitely won't remain hungry.
A day spent in Verona will be able to rid you of myths and make you fall in love with the real Verona, the true beauty of northern Italy.

Verona is one of the most beautiful cities in northern Italy. Its exquisite architecture and unique atmosphere gave Verona the glory of “little Rome”. Tourists from all over the world come to enjoy the views of Verona and take part in the life of this Northern Italian town.
Well, and, of course, the glory that Shakespeare gave to the city, describing it in Romeo and Juliet, attracts romantic travelers.
Under Juliet's balcony, near a building that has survived to this day, lovers stroll around the clock. And the statue of a girl standing nearby was polished by hand to a shine. There is a belief that it brings happiness in love.
I hope that you, dear friends, will enjoy your visit to Verona. May this trip bring you good luck!
For today I say goodbye to you. See you again!
