The experience

You arrive in Verona with a free afternoon or a morning to spare, and the city's most-visited landmarks are scattered across the old town. This walking tour threads them together in a single four-hour arc: Piazza Brà, where the Arena sits at the edge of the largest square in the city; the Arena di Verona itself, a 1st-century Roman amphitheater still used for opera and concerts; then through the medieval heart. Piazza delle Erbe, once the Roman forum, now lined with market stalls and the Madonna Verona Fountain at its center; and Piazza dei Signori, quieter and ringed with Renaissance palaces and the Arche Scaligere, the ornate Gothic tombs of the Scaliger family who ruled the city in the 13th and 14th centuries.

Admission to the Arena and Juliet's House is included, so you walk past the ticket lines at both. At Juliet's House, a 14th-century building with the small balcony that inspired Shakespeare's scene, you can leave a note on the courtyard walls: a tradition among visitors. A local guide leads the whole route and speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French, so the stories of the city's Roman past, medieval power and literary fame come from someone who knows it. The tour is walkable for all fitness levels and public transport runs nearby if you need it.
