Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Verona is a lovely city in northern Italy, best known as the setting of Shakespeare's renowned play Romeo and Juliet. The Medieval-era city, which is located along the banks of the Adige River in Veneto, has no actual historical connection to Shakespeare's work, but many tourists still flock to sites such as Juliet's House, a preserved 14th-century residence with a balcony resembling the one depicted in the play's famed balcony scene. Large-scale operas and classical music concerts are presented at the Verona Arena, which dates back to the city's Roman Empire days in the first century. Preserved landmark churches and art museums abound, including the Churches of St. Zeno and Sant'Anastasia. Military fortifications from the 12th through 14th centuries are also preserved, connected to the former ruling Scaligeri family.
