Verona

« Strolling through the streets of Verona, you'll inevitably feel a romantic vibe! This place is intertwined with tranquility, romance, and love! And of course, shopping here is top-notch; in my opinion, it’s the most convenient and affordable option around! Parking in the city center is around $16 per day, and there are a plethora of amazing restaurants and bars, plus all kinds of different apartments with views of bustling streets and hotels! We found an apartment in the city center, just 100 meters from Juliet's balcony. 😍❤️ They were not huge, but the view from the balcony was incredible, with a supermarket just 20 meters away, a coffee shop, and lots of tasty snacks included in the rental price! As promised, I’m leaving all my recommendations here! 😊😊😊 »

« VERONA🏰

Absolutely beautiful Italian town. It conveys the atmosphere of the country even more than Milan.

Famous for the love story of Romeo and Juliet, Verona is where you'll find that iconic balcony of Juliet.

Honestly, it's safe to say this part of the town is one of the most beautiful. And, perhaps, all the charm stems just from this history (many say there’s really not much else to see).

In Verona, there are wonderful spots and balconies. Access is quite easy. It’s definitely worth taking a look.

Particularly lovely to see is the wall covered with notes from beloved ones💑. The spirit of romance is alive there.

Once we visited this charming spot, we simply wandered wherever our eyes led us. So many picturesque houses and gardens we saw😍. Words can’t express it!

If you’re in Italy, make sure to stop by Verona with your special someone🤗.

Happy travels, share kindness with each other❤️. »

« There are still many beautiful views in Verny and around it! The river flows through the entire area and splits it into two parts. The bridges that can be seen in Verny are very ancient, dating back more than a century. They were restored after being dismantled by the fascists during World War II. Parts of the bridges were retrieved from the bottom. Those sections that couldn’t be found were replaced with modern red bricks.

In the photo, we are on a hill where we decided to take a panoramic shot. It’s a bit of a climb, but the view is totally worth it! 😍 »

« It's worth coming here just to see Juliet, her house, and of course that balcony!!! Thousands of couples come here to kiss and leave their initials on the walls of her house! 😊 »

« Gerace. Verona. Amazing.

If I compared Venice with classical beauty of Venice, then Verona is like an ancient majestic gem. With a rich history and a present that shines brightly. I have no doubt that it will only get better in the future. Verona is 2000 years old. Ancient Roman structures are still standing, showcasing the grandeur of the Roman Empire for Northern nations. That’s why in its center there’s a working (!!!!) arena, built 30 years earlier than the Roman one. In the 30s. No, not in the 1930s, nor in the 1130s, or even in the 530s, but in the 30s AD! Earlier, gladiatorial games and spectacles were held here, and now world-famous concerts (like Madonna’s, for instance) take place, with operas running through the summer season.

The streets of Verona are lined with white marble plates. A river flows around the city. To this day, the ancestral walls and gateway to the city are intact. Yes, we saw the homes of Romeo and Juliet. It was truly a delight, I’ll tell you that. Just imagine stepping away from the heat in Venice to soak it all in here in Verona 😌.

In the courtyard of Juliet’s house - a crowd, walls covered with love notes (which they clean and repaint, but it still lasts a few months), behind Juliet's wall, it's completely covered in gum, notes and scribbles. If it weren’t cleaned up, the courtyard would be a trash heap within three to four days 😖. In general, Verona is the best place to “rest your eyes”. On the walls of its houses, frescos from the 15th-16th centuries remain, with plaster, paintings, while just outside the venue stands an absolutely fantastic amphitheater! There are three of those, but the same age also has five and theirs also has inscriptions that remain. We wanted to estimate them endlessly.

And yet Verona gave us a "gift". We managed to rent two bicycles 🚴‍♂️. With the same equipment on site, we struggled to figure it out. It required a card and a phone number. We only had one card for two, and based on the phone, we really struggled so that our numbers matched. But they didn’t coordinate and were sent to the help center. »

« Verona 🥰🌧️ I don't love spending hours in line at museums and churches, paying hefty fees just to see something I'll forget in 10 minutes (not counting Notre-Dame 😅). But I do have a fondness for "taking someone by the hand and hurrying through the door" 😄. That’s how we ended up at the Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, which is tucked away in a cozy inner courtyard to the left of the main entrance.

Visiting the basilica requires a fee, but for some reason, on that particular day (January 7), we were able to enter without paying.

___ 📸 There's an incredible view of the center; you absolutely must walk to the lookout near San Pietro. The ascent (which starts directly across from the Ponte Pietra) is very simple, adorned with beautiful houses and nice viewpoints, so there’s really no need to take a funicular. And at the top, you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view of the whole city. »

« One of the most romantic places in the world is Verona, and it has certainly lived up to that reputation! Perhaps it's due to the vast number of lovers coming here from all over the globe, leaving behind an energetic vibe of love. This creates such a unique atmosphere. I believe it's definitely worth visiting in the spring or summer to fully experience this ambiance without the crowds. 😂 »

« Incredibly beautiful, truly Italian Verona greeted me with sunshine and the scent of spring. Narrow streets, cobblestones, residents walking their dogs leisurely on a weekend day, will forever leave an impression of this city in my heart. 😊🌸 »

« Very beautiful city! With a special atmosphere) Stunning impression. »

« Recharging with positive vibes in Verona!))) »

« Verona is a city steeped in the theme of Romeo and Juliet. Here, you can find the house with the balcony, the tomb, and plenty of other attractions. There's certainly a lot of romance in the air. However, I was more captivated by the Arena – the Colosseum built by the Romans over two millennia ago. Even though it’s the third largest in the world, it truly leaves an impression!  »

« Amazing Verona, so many emotions and memories!!! Thank you! »

« Millions of tourists from all over the world come to Verona every year. But for many, it's not just the abundance of ancient historic monuments that attracts them, but the chance to visit the home of Romeo and Juliet, which makes Verona the romantic capital for lovers everywhere. The most visited spot in the city is Juliet's House, which receives hundreds of love letters addressed to her, and there is a constant pilgrimage under Juliet's Balcony, day and night. »
