About Verona
It will be difficult to find a town in northern Italy from Bellagio to Verona to the sea that was not impacted by the della Scala (Scaliger) family. During the Middle Ages, the Scaligers reigned and were responsible for constructing many of Verona's iconic buildings. They launched it into cultural relevance and today Verona's medieval city center is an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Verona’s impact on the arts
Verona is famously associated with William Shakespeare, who set his play _Romeo and Julie_t in the heart of the city. During your visit, you can see the locations of Romeo’s home, Juliet’s balcony, Juliet’s tomb, and the plazas that set the scene for this famous tragedy.
The Arena di Verona is a Roman amphitheater built in the 1st century AD that is still in use today for opera performances and concerts. It is one of the largest amphitheaters in Italy and hosts the Verona Arena Opera Festival every summer.
Venture outside of Verona
Verona is not even in the top ten largest cities in Italy, but that is part of the allure. It allows visitors to experience Italy in a quieter setting than the larger cities of Rome and Naples.
Verona is also the perfect base camp for day trips to outdoor points of interest like Lake Garda and the national parks of Lessinia and Alto Garda Bresciano. Hiking trails, swimming, skiing, and ferry tours attract visitors year-round to bask in the raw beauty of the southern Alps. For those hard-to-reach trailheads and lakeside towns, let Daytrip take care of your transportation!

Things to do when you get to Verona
After your trip from Bellagio to Verona, it’s time to see the city that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
The homes of Romeo and Juliet
Once you’re in “fair Verona,” follow in the footsteps of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. At Juliet’s House, see the famous balcony that inspired Shakespeare’s most iconic moments on the stage and take a tour of the castle. If you find yourself asking, "Wherefore art thou, Romeo?" look no further than Romeo’s House. While it is a private residence today, you are welcome to stroll by.
Castelvecchio
This 14th-century fortress used to guard Verona, but now it guards an impressive art collection and great views of the city. It was the most powerful military installation in the region, and its boxy red-brick style sits in direct contrast to the rest of Verona’s romantic allure. Ascend to the top of its towers for panoramic shots of Verona unlike any other!
The attached Castelvecchio Bridge held the record as the world's largest bridge arch during its completion in 1356, spanning 159.8 ft (48.7 m). The original bridge was destroyed by German troops as they fled Verona in 1945, but it was painstakingly replicated shortly after.
Sunset at Castel San Pietro
End your day on a high note with a visit to the top of Castel San Pietro for sweeping views of Verona in the warm light of an Italian sunset. If you’re worn out from a full day of exploring, we have good news! You can ride the newly renovated funicular straight to the top.
When is the best time to visit Verona
Verona is a smaller and relatively underrated city in northern Italy. If you want to enjoy a summer vacation in Italy without throngs of crowds and outrageous prices, give Verona a try! Enjoy its proximity to nature and the warm summer air without the extreme heat of southern Italy.
Daytrip makes hiking trails, national parks, and Lake Garda as easily accessible as your trip from Bellagio to Verona, so don’t be afraid to pack your hiking boots, too!
