Verona is one of Italy’s most romantic and fascinating cities. Famous for Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, it is much more than just a symbol of love: it’s a destination where stunning architecture, ancient culture, and a deep-rooted food and wine tradition coexist in perfect harmony. Its historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves Roman, medieval, and Renaissance treasures that make it truly unique in the Italian landscape.
Strolling through Verona is like walking through centuries of history. From the Roman Arena in Piazza Bra to the picturesque Ponte Pietra, passing through lively Piazza delle Erbe and elegant shopping streets, the city invites you to explore every corner at a leisurely pace. Medieval towers, frescoed palaces, hidden restaurants, and charming alleyways create the perfect atmosphere for an escape steeped in taste, art, and beauty.
Verona is also a lively city, with festivals, cultural events, and warm hospitality. Every summer, the Arena di Verona hosts world-renowned opera performances. For an even more exclusive experience, opera tickets can be included in tailor-made packages, giving you the unique chance to soak up the magic of music within Verona’s historic architectural gem.
Verona is the gateway to Valpolicella, one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions. Here you’ll find extraordinary wines like Amarone della Valpolicella, Ripasso, and Valpolicella Classico, produced from native grapes grown on sun-kissed hills and caressed by breezes from Lake Garda.
The local cuisine is designed to highlight these exceptional wines: bigoli with duck ragù, Amarone risotto, traditional boiled meats with pearà sauce, aged cheeses, and classic desserts like sbrisolona. Verona’s flavours tell the story of a generous and authentic land.
East of the city lies the Soave area, home to mineral, floral white wines that pair beautifully with delicate dishes and gourmet appetisers.
Verona’s strategic location, halfway between Venice and Milan, makes it an excellent stopover on a longer journey. The city is well connected to Italy’s main hubs: you can reach Verona from Milan in about 1 hour and 20 minutes by high-speed train, or around 1 hour and 40 minutes by car.
