In Verona, the romantic backdrop for Shakespeare's love story of Romeo and Juliet, you can stroll through narrow old town streets and across the expansive Piazza Brà. Alongside Roman landmarks such as the Arena, the venue for the famous opera festival, you will be captivated by the majestic Scaliger tombs and the impressive Castelvecchio with its collection of sculptures and paintings.
