Welcome to Verona
A city that captures the heart and soul of Italy's rich history, art, and culture. Nestled in the Veneto region of northern Italy, Verona is a place where past and present coexist harmoniously. Whether you're planning a visit or simply curious about this enchanting city, here's a glimpse of what Verona has to offer.
“In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…”
A City of Romance
Verona is often referred to as the "City of Love," thanks to its association with Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet." Visitors from around the world flock to the iconic Casa di Giulietta, believed to be Juliet's house, where they leave love notes on the walls and seek the balcony where Romeo declared his affection. The city's romantic ambiance can be felt throughout its winding streets, historic squares, and charming cafes.
“Verona is a place of history, of beauty, and of romance.”
Culinary Delights
Italian cuisine takes center stage in Verona, where you can savor the flavors of the Veneto region. Taste the local wines, including Valpolicella and Soave, and indulge in traditional dishes like risotto, Amarone wine, and the famous Pandoro, a sweet bread enjoyed during the holiday season.
“Verona, so calm, like a pearl in the sun.”
Local Festivals
Verona's vibrant culture comes to life during its numerous festivals and events. Don't miss the Verona Opera Festival, the Christmas markets, or the Festa della Valpolicella, celebrating the region's wine and cuisine. Vinitaly, one of the world’s largest wine exhibitions, attracts thousands each spring, celebrating the region’s rich winemaking heritage with tastings, workshops, and international exhibitors.
“As one wanders the streets of Verona, history and legend breathe from every stone.”
Cultural Heritage
Verona boasts a wealth of cultural treasures that reflect its diverse history. From the well-preserved Roman Arena, which hosts world-class opera performances, to the majestic San Zeno Basilica and the historic Castelvecchio, the city is a living museum waiting to be explored. For a sweeping panorama, a visit to Castel San Pietro provides one of the best vantage points to admire Verona's red rooftops and medieval charm.
“Verona has the charm of all southern cities, with added softness and glow.”
