Review:

It’s no coincidence that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was set in the fair city of Verona. With the city’s long history of romance, drama, and dangerous family feuds, the play’s location was fitting indeed. Start your vacation with a visit to the Galleria d’Arte Moderna Achille Forti where a stunning collection of artwork from between 1840 and 1940 is showcased.

Nature lovers, on the other hand, will love a trip to the Giardino Giusti, a magnificent garden filled with fabulously maintained plants and some stunning sculptures.

If tours around grand churches are what you’re looking for, the Basilica di Sant’Anastasia certainly won’t disappoint. Built sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries, the Gothic cathedral is the largest church in Verona with its own collection of art for visitors to admire. Admire Romanesque architecture at the Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, a stone basilica that was constructed in honor of Verona’s patron saint. A lovely cloister greets all visitors to the basilica which is also home to breathtaking frescoes. To enjoy a picturesque view of the city and to enjoy the landscape of the mountains in the background, climb to the top of the 84-meter watchtower of the Torre dei Lamberti.
