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

Advantages: Cinema, Church, local shopping an cafes. Disadvantages: Not too much for tourists.
time and drama workshops make this an all round entertaining visit for the family. Famous authors attend for signings and meet 'n greet sessions.

Advantages: A beautiful city with lots to offer Disadvantages: Italy itself can be a little expensive
During my recent holiday to Italy Verona was one of the cities that I visited. Verona is a city in Northern Italy not far from Lake Garda. Due to its geographical position the city has frequently flooded in the past and as you travel round the city this can be noted by water markings on bridges and walls. Verona was also the town that Julius Caesar visited for his relaxing stays and features strongly in the travel diaries of Goethe.

Despite all of this however Verona is probably most famous for being the setting for William Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.
So what can you do in Verona?
Verona due to its historical heritage has a great many tourist attractions that draw in the crowds. These attractions include The Arena ...
