Absolutely fantastic experience. I spent a brief six hours in Verona whilst touring round Italy and out of all the cities we visited, i found myself falling in love with Verona.
We arrived by train from venice which is about 2 1/2 hrs away (where we were staying) and picked up 2 maps in the train station (which is advisable as it never looks the same when your walking it!)
It took us about 15 minutes to get to the centre Arena, where we passed lots of interesting looking museums and shops (no time to look though). We then started at juillet's resting place which was beautiful and it made the story more poignant for us.
From there we negotiated our way through the tiny streets and alleyways through many squares with fabulous examples of Italian architecture and found Juillet's balcony. After the photo opportunity we then wandered towards the river and walked down to the impressive gateway of the city.
We ate both our lunch and tea at the same corner restaurant outside the Arena and had a fantastic few hours.
They say it is the city of love and with the mystical romeo and juillet story one can believe this. I came away, reluctantly, with a vow to return one day and do this amazing city justice.
