About the Port
Verona unfolds around its first-century Roman amphitheater in Piazza Bra, one of the best-preserved arenas of its era and still used for festivals and concerts. Cobblestone streets lead through a compact center layered with Roman, medieval, and Renaissance heritage, from the bustling market square of Piazza delle Erbe to the balconies and courtyards long associated with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Via Mazzini's shopfronts and the quiet lanes near the Adige River invite unhurried exploration, while trattorias throughout the old town serve refined Veneto cuisine. Inland from the Venice area's ports, Verona is typically visited on a day excursion, with its historic core easily explored on foot once travelers arrive.

Visit Juliet's House
See the famed courtyard and balcony tied to Shakespeare's star-crossed heroine, tucked just off Via Cappello a short walk from Piazza delle Erbe.
Climb the Roman Arena
Step inside the amphitheater's stone tiers for a close look at its engineering, best done early before crowds and tour groups fill the piazza outside.
Browse Piazza delle Erbe
Wander this ancient forum-turned-market for produce stalls, frescoed facades, and cafe tables, a lively hub for a quick espresso or people-watching between sights.
