In the north of Italy, on the banks of the Adige River, lies the beautiful city of Verona. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Veneto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t know the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet? The two lovers are said to have lived in Verona and there are places all over the city that refer to them. But it is not only the story about the House of Capulet that attracts visitors from all over the world, but also the large Roman amphitheatre in the heart of the city. In summer, breathtaking opera performances take place here, which are also enjoyed by visitors who are not opera fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who are less interested in cultural events or themes will not be disappointed in Verona. The city’s history is over 2000 years old and even today you can still find architectural remnants of a chequered history in the city. In addition to the Arena, the Scaliger Tombs, the Porta Leoni and the old city wall are impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the landscape around Verona is also beautiful. The city is framed by a hilly landscape and nestles along the meandering course of the Adige River. An excursion into the surrounding area is well worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
