Piazza dei Signori, Verona

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: None

...the Piazza Bra stalls, I'd recommend looking around. Piazza Delle Erbe is dominated by a huge white column which is topped with a Venetian lion, which is the symbol of the Veneto region. From here, a short walk down the Via Cappello will bring you to Juliet's house. The most overrated attraction in Verona, you will probably still want to peer around the door just so that when people ask whether you saw it you can say yes. As Juliet was fictional, however, this doesn't seem particularly worthwhile. Definitely don't pay the entrance fee to go up on the balcony - it's just always busy. Just off Piazza Delle Erbe is my favourite part of Verona: the beautiful Piazza Dei Signori. This Piazza seems almost unknown and radiates calm and beauty in a way that nowhere else I've seen manages. Dominated by a statue of Dante, each building in this Piazza... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful City, lots to see & do
Disadvantages: None

...such as Gucci, Louis Vouiton and the like. Don't just use this street though, there are many great little shops tucked away in little side streets. *** People *** The people of Verona are really friendly, try a bit of Italian, if they notice you are struggling, they will speak English. Sitting in any of the squares with a coffee watching the world go by is great! See the tourists mix with the locals, *** Eating *** Yes you can eat well in Verona, in fact you can eat well in most of Italy! The majority of restaurants are around the 2 main squares, Piazza Bra - this is more geared to tourists, so the prices are quite high, or Piazza Erbe, this again is very tourist orientated, and expensive. Walk slightly off the beaten track, and you will be rewarded with some fantastic places to eat. San Matteo Church, just near Porta dei... Read review

Advantages: amazing history, beautiful sights
Disadvantages: somewhat crowded at times

...good enough to keep the sun from attacking you. Finally, make sure that you pack your best walking shoes, because you are going to be walking so much, that you're going to want to be comfortable. I recommend replacing your insoles and breaking them in prior to arriving to make yourself that much more comfortable. Where to eat If you are looking to just grab a snack, a place where did quite a bit of munching, was Piazza Delle Erbe. This is a great market where you can pick up fruits and vegetables. I think we must have filled up our backpacks after coming here. I hadn't had fresh fruit in quite some time as we had been living in Alaska for a while for the end of my military tour and fruit and vegetables are never fresh there. If you are looking for a great place to eat, then you can go to Dante's Cafe, which is in Piazza Dei... Read review
