Verona: Guide
Verona is a city (pop. ~250000) in north-eastern Italy's Veneto region. Most famous as the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Though close to the more popular tourist destination of Venice, many people consider Verona a more relaxed and pleasant place to visit. There are many tourists, but the amount of tourists per square meter is lower.
Get in
By Plane
Catullo Airport is Verona's closest airport, 12km from the city
Budget airlines fly to D'Annunzio Airport of Brescia/Montichiari, some 50km West of Verona. This is sometimes referred to as Verona Brescia airport.
Airlines also fly to Venice's Mestre Airport.
The Arena. Quite spectacular. An enormous Roman amphitheatre, crumbling on the outside but still functioning today. If you can, plan your trip during the Opera season and see a performance in the Arena. You can, if you like, visit it during the day. http://www.arena.it
Make sure to check out Rain, Verona's newest wine bar and jazz club. Located in the heart of Verona on Via Stella 13A, this bar provides a great atmosphere to enjoy a glass of wine, nibble on some food, and listen to great music. The owners, brothers Giuseppe and Riccardo Zambelli Rain, provide visitors the warmth that one expects in Italy. A great hint... Giuseppe (you can call him Joe) is fluent in English. Ask for him if you have any questions about the area.
The surrounding area is also wonderful - to the north you have rolling hills with vineyards and small towns, to the west the Lago di Garda.

See
Juliet's House (Casa di Giulietta). See what is supposedly 'the' balcony, overlooking a tiny square containing a statue of Juliet and an unbelievable amount of graffiti and general scrawling on the walls, floor, seats, anything that will hold ink.
Roman amphitheatre.
Castle Scaligeri.
Castelvecchio and its bridge over the river.
Piazza delle Erbe, home of the Forum in Roman times this is still a focal point of the city. Contains the 'Madonna Verona' fountain, 14th century 'Gardello Tower', and a market that, while picturesque, seems to have become another tourist cliche during its recent refurbishment.
Lamberti Tower
Porta Bosari. The remains of a Roman gate, dates to at least the 2nd Century AD, but is almost certainly older.Do
Climb to the top of the tower (or take the lift most of the way if you're lazy). Great views out over Verona.
Shop till you drop on Verona's golden mile
Eat gelato in the park or in one of Piazza Bra's many bars.Eat
Drink
Avoid the hordes of tourists in Piazza Bra and head to Piazza delle Erbe. At least slightly more genuine, this Piazza has a number of good bars where you can sit and enjoy a coffee or aperitivo in the sun. Great for your coffee in the morning and your drinks into the evening.
Caffè delle Erbe, Piazza delle Erbe. Great coffee and brioche.Shop
Via Mazzini is Verona's golden mile of shopping, taking you between Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe. Most of the major Italian labels are represented, and even if you can't afford them it's great to wander and window shop.Sleep
Verona is frequented annually by millions of tourists, so you'll be able to choose among a lot of different accommodation options.
In the city you'll find famous luxurious hotels, such as Due Torri or Accademia. In the nearby province there are a lot of enchating small B&B and holiday farms.
There are three youth hostels in Verona, all of which are within walking distance of the town centre and a short bus ride from the main train station (Porta Nuova). A tourist map, available from the station's tourist information centre, will point you to their locations. Particularly recommended is the northeasternmost of the trio, near Piazza Isolo (regular buses from Porta Nuova). This is a stunning converted Rennaissance complex complete with porticoes, verandas and a huge forested garden, dorm beds for only 15 Euros pppn, with a passable breakfast included.Get out
Drive to the nearby valley Valpolicella, famous for its renowned Amarone, Recioto and valpolicella wines as well as for its ancient villas.
