Trip Overview
Verona is a city where 2,000 years of history are visible in a single walk: Roman gates, medieval towers, Renaissance palazzos, and the broad marble sidewalks along the Adige River.
Your three days here include a trip briefing with logistics and maps so you can explore Verona at your leisure. You'll start in Piazza delle Erbe, the former Roman Forum and now the city's main square, lined with medieval buildings and outdoor cafes. From there, it's a short walk to the Arena, to the Roman theater on the hillside above the river, and to Porta Leoni, the remains of a Roman city gate still embedded in the medieval walls.
Verona is, of course, the city of Romeo and Juliet. You can visit Casa di Giulietta and the balcony that has drawn visitors for centuries. But Verona's real story is older and deeper: it was a Roman colony, a Lombard duchy, a medieval commune, and a Venetian stronghold, and each layer is still visible in the streets.
If you're visiting between June and September, you can attend an opera performance at the Arena di Verona. We can arrange tickets on request. Our Verona extension can be arranged either before or after your trip to the Dolomites, just a few hours' drive away, with private airport transfers available on request. Contact our team to plan your extension.
