As the temperatures get cooler and the air crisper, Verona becomes the ideal destination for a romantic escape. The cobblestone streets and stone bridges reflect the warm shades of the autumn sky, creating the perfect setting to visit Romeo and Juliet’s city.
Accommodation will be at the Relais De Charme Il Sogno di Giulietta, a historic palazzo located in the heart of the city, directly overlooking Juliet’s famous balcony. Rich textiles and classic Italian Renaissance décor in every room are the perfect setting for a magical stay in Verona, the lover’s city par excellence. And during the holiday season, you should not miss out on the traditional Christmas market, located just outside your hotel!
The medieval heart of the city will be revealed during the half-day tour with a local English-speaking guide. You will begin by exploring Romeo and Juliet’s houses and then move towards Piazza dei Signori, a small but charming piazza defined by Dante’s imposing statue at its center. Then, a stroll through Piazza delle Erbe reveals the core of Verona’s historic center; this long, rectangular piazza was once the Roman Forum. The tour will conclude with the staple of Verona, the Arena, an ancient amphitheater built in the first century AD and one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture extant.
