Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The places to visit in Verona for a first glimpse of the city are centered around the three main squares. Piazza Bra, dominated by the Arena amphitheater\u2014a symbol of Verona\u2019s Roman origins\u2014the medieval city walls, which bear witness to the era of the Free Commune, the colorful palaces from the Venetian-Renaissance period, and the austere profiles of the Gran Guardia and Barbieri palaces, symbols of the city\u2019s military role, especially during the Austro-Hungarian era.<\/p>\n

The heart of Verona, however, is Piazza delle Erbe, with its ancient medieval houses, market stalls, and caf\u00e9s, and the adjacent Piazza dei Signori with its inner courtyards\u2014the political hub during the Scaliger and Venetian rule\u2014enclosed by crenellated palaces, soaring towers, and the Gothic silhouette of the Scaliger crypt.<\/p>\n

Verona also opens up to its hilly landscape, with sweeping views and glimpses of the sky that you can admire along the banks of the Adige River, on the ancient Pietra and Scaligero bridges.<\/p>\n

Among the places to visit in Verona, you might, for example, include\u2026 an ideal \u201cromantic transition\u201d to the city\u2019s most picturesque soul, which you can certainly honor by dedicating the finale to the sites linked to the ancient legend of Romeo and Juliet.<\/p>\n

Tour duration: 2 hours.<\/p>\n

Price: starting from \u20ac140<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

What places should you visit in Verona? Where should you focus your visit if you\u2019re exploring the city for the first time? Or if you have limited time for your guided tour of Verona?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like many other Italian cities of art, Verona is also brimming with artistic, historical, and cultural treasures waiting to be discovered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some are housed in museums and churches, while others are \u201copen-air\u201d\u2014that is, buildings, monuments, and sites you can visit during a pleasant stroll through the city center.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For this reason, if you\u2019re visiting Verona for the first time, or if it\u2019s been a while since your last visit, we recommend exploring it on foot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The historic center of our city is, in fact, compact, mostly pedestrian-friendly, and easy to explore without needing to take public transportation.<\/p>\n

Places to Visit in Verona and Useful Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can easily explore the city on foot, starting right from your hotel; however, you can always arrange a more scenic tour by private car to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Verona\u2019s hills, or a more active one\u2014by bicycle, for example\u2014to explore even the more outlying historic neighborhoods, such as San Zeno and Veronetta.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your guide will always be happy to recommend restaurants and traditional taverns where you can sample Veronese food and wine specialties, and point out shops, boutiques, and historic stores where you can find quality items.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The beauty of a journey lies, in fact, in combining a discovery of the place\u2019s history with its contemporary aspects, allowing you to truly \u201cimmerse\u201d yourself in its culture and traditions.<\/p>\n
