Verona’s got a great city center. Like so many centers in Europe, it’s car-free and pedestrian friendly.
The Verona Arena was a treat to visit. This Roman Amphitheater was built in 30 AD, and is older than the Colosseum in Rome.
It’s currently being used for operas and other musical shows.
The arena used to have an outer ring, but it was destroyed in earthquakes, wars, and plunder. The arches in the back are all that remain.
Basilica di Santa Anastasia.
Juliet’s balcony, inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Now flocks of tourists visit this site daily. It’s corny but worth the short visit.
For good luck, people take a picture holding one (or both) of Juliet’s breasts.
