Verona reveals itself in layers—through Roman ruins, medieval facades, quiet inner courtyards, and sweeping views from its hilltop paths. This travel itinerary ebook is designed for those who want to move at their own rhythm while staying connected to the character and history of the city.
It offers a curated route through Verona’s core and beyond, blending well-known landmarks with moments that invite quiet appreciation.
You begin at Piazza Bra, the city’s spacious entry point, where the Arena stands not just as an ancient amphitheater but as a living venue. From there, your path can lead you through Arco dei Gavi to the sturdy elegance of Castelvecchio and across the Ponte Scaligero, where the city’s medieval past still feels close.
Porta Borsari marks another entrance, a reminder of Verona’s Roman roots, still present in the structure of the city.
The heart of Verona beats in Piazza delle Erbe, where everyday life continues against a backdrop of historic frescoes and towers. Nearby, the Torre dei Lamberti offers a higher perspective—literally—and Piazza dei Signori, with its statues and solemn presence, balances the surrounding activity with calm.
The Scaliger Tombs are just steps away, evoking the legacy of one of Verona’s ruling families.
This itinerary also includes Juliet’s House not as a tourist cliché, but as part of the city’s literary and cultural fabric. A short walk brings you to Santa Maria Matricolare Cathedral, less photographed but rich in detail, and a gentle contrast to the more visited spots.
Crossing the Adige River via Ponte Pietra connects you to a more tranquil side of the city. The Roman Theatre, San Pietro Castle, and the cableway offer views and spaces that feel removed from the busy streets, yet still part of the city’s pulse.
The Giusti Garden concludes the suggested route with its pathways and terraces that open up to expansive views, offering a sense of pause and reflection.
