The 10 Best Things to Do in Verona, Italy
So splendid was medieval Verona that its reputation alone inspired Shakespeare to set two plays here (Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona). Though its connection to the actual Capulets is tenuous at best, the so-called Juliet's House draws half a million tourists per year, many of them keen on reenacting the balcony scene. Don't miss the Roman amphitheater and the Palazzo Barberi.

The whole area is beautiful. The buildings, apartments, shops and restaurants are all simply lovely. I spent a lot of my time here relaxing, drinking and chatting. It rained for a lot of my visit but it really didn’t matter as the whole area was captivating.

A veronese friend recommended me to visit this church, even if it is a bit far from all the other touristic attractions. And I am really glad I did! This church is really impressive, not only because of the architecture (it is one of the biggest churches in Verona) but also because of all the frescos on the wells, which add to the beauty of the building. There is also a fine medieval door with beautiful carvings in bronze.
I would suggest to anybody who visits Verona to make the effort of walking to this church: they won't regret it.

Connecting Castelvecchio and Adige, this powerful bridge was first built in the 1st century AD, destroyed during World War II, and rebuilt using parts of the original structure.

A short walk from the Piazza Bra and you come to this fantastic old bridge scanning the river. Not many tourists seemed to stray from the main tourist areas to find this lovely bridge. Locals seemed to use it mostly. Worth the short walk away from the main area.

This imposing Gothic building is the largest in Verona.

This is a neat church with a lot to see inside that will give you a clear image of a 13th century church. One of my favorite images is the sculptures of huncbacks holding basins on their backs that was used for holy water.

We walked over the bridge to get to the castle and you can clearly see when the bridge was repaired after the war and where the original stone was used and where new brick has replaced the missing stone. There is a friendly bar and restaurant nearby.

It's no wonder that this is one of the most historic and picturesque squares in Italy: in antiquity, it served as a Roman forum; today, it contains many historic buildings, sculptures with a popular and colorful market overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetables.

A great place to sit and chat for hours. Beautiful architecture and eateries. The whole area has a charm that few other places have. I spent most of my visit here and cannot wait to return. Great for wine and nibbles and watching the world go bye.

This Church is a hidden gem from 6th century and rebuilt in the 1470's by Fra Giovanni of Verona. It is full of frescoes, the finest examples of marquetry in the choir room and once had the alter piece painted by Andrea Mantegna (now in Pinacoteca Brera, Milan). One of the favourite objects on display is, Christ arriving into Jerusalem on a mule
This Church shared greatly in the Golden Age of The Renaissance.
You will be surprised when you find yourself alone in this treasure chest of Renaissance beauty - it is not on the tourist track and yes, it's free to enter.
Do yourself a favour and visit this Church - its worth it. Check out photos.

A few kilometres from Verona, the ancient hamlet of Molina is waiting for you to give you a break and enjoy the surrounding nature and culture in a magic atmosphere. The Waterfall Park is the perfect place for an excursion in the lush vegetation, between vertiginous walls of bare rock, large caves and pounding waterfall. The opportunity to choose between three routes (green, red and black) makes the park a suitable destination for all ages and needs. Don't forget to visit the ancient mill of the 17th century and Molina, the characteristic hamlet of stone where you can buy typical local products.
