So what's it like?
Founded during Roman times, there are still many ancient monuments to be seen including the Arena, famous for its summer opera performances. Verona also has castles, a fascinating medieval city centre, which is now pedestrianised and comes alive in summer with open air markets and of course 'Juliet's balcony' - made famous by William Shakespeare's 'star-cross'd lovers', Romeo and Juliet.

Local culture
Short breaks
Founded during Roman times, 'Fair Verona' is home to Italy's third largest, and best preserved amphitheatre. Haggle for a souvenir in the bustling market at Piazza Erbe, before wandering down the side streets to find the house of Juliet, an elegant balcony hangs above the courtyard, the supposed inspiration for Shakespeare's 'star cross'd lovers'. Peek at some of the hundreds of love letters adorning the walls - left by today's romantic couples hoping for Juliet's blessing.
Not only do our city breaks make the perfect additions to holidays on the lakes or in the Dolomites, they're also great as stand alone holidays with flights, transfers and accommodation included. 3, 4 and 7 night short breaks are available in Verona at the Hotel Giulietta & Romeo, Hotel Giberti and the Hotel Grand. Evening atmosphere
Strut your stuff on the russet marbled streets of Via Mazzini - the place to be seen in early evening, where you'll find Gucci and Versace's shop windows filled with the latest must-have designs. Wander through Piazza Bra, bustling with outdoor diners, enjoying Veronese specialities such as rissoto radicchio or bigoli pasta, washed down with the local Valpolicella or Soave wines. For the more adventurous pallet a bowl of pasta with ragù di asino is a must - donkey sauce is a regional speciality after all. After dinner Verona buzzes with late night bars, ice cream parlours and nightclubs, there's something for everyone so you're unlikely to want an early night.Getting about
Verona is a compact city and the best way to see it is by foot. The main points of interest, such as the Roman Arena and the Castel Vecchio, are in the centre.
