Thanks to good old Wills, Verona has become one of the best city breaks in all of Italy. While fans of \u201cRomeo &amp; Juliet\u201d head here in droves every summer to see the play performed in its literary home, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/travel\/verona?utm_source=omio-magazine&amp;utm_medium=magazine&amp;utm_campaign=city_guides&amp;utm_content=CG_Verona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Verona<\/a> is so much more than the place where the teen duo reportedly lived and died. Fair Verona inspires and delights with its architectural wonders, ancient ruins and mouthwatering Bigoli in salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Tickets to Verona      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Verona  <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A Roman stronghold, the fortified northern Italian city in the storied Veneto region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its well-preserved medieval and Renaissance edifices. Long a strategic military and trading port, it flourished under both Emperor Charlemagne and the Scaliger family, who ruled the city 700 years apart. Both ruling clans improved its defences and infrastructure. While much of the fortifications and ancient buildings were destroyed during the Second World War, careful Post-War reconstruction efforts restored the remaining archaeological treasures to their original splendour. Today you can see the remains of the city gate, the Ponte Pietra, Roman theatre and the Arco dei Gavi, all sights worthy of a visit when one wants to go beyond the Shakespearean tours that dominate the city from spring to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to Verona:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling to Verona from different European cities provides a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the romantic ambiance and rich history of this charming Italian city.

So here\u2019s our guide for things to do in Verona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to eat in Verona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian dishes vary by region but food is always the central focus in Italian culture. Verona is no different, with signature dishes that typify the region. Since the Lombardi dynasty\u2014we\u2019re talking Middle Ages here\u2014every nonna in Verona makes Lesso e pear\u00e0 for celebrations and holidays. Slow-cooked beef is paired with a bready bone marrow broth seasoned with salt and pepper. Add some boiled meat on the side and you\u2019re good to go. The dish is so symbolic of the region that you won\u2019t find it anywhere else in Italy. Variations of Bigoli in salsa exist on nearly every Italian menu in town. While also a typical Venetian dish, Verona\u2019s version eschews the anchovies for sardines. Both varieties feature thick, spaghetti-like pasta and onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vialone nano, the region\u2019s native rice, is used in its traditional Risotto all\u2019Amarone, which is delicately flavored with the celebrated local red wine as well as the requisite onions, broth, olive oil, salt and pepper. Wash it down with some Amarone and you\u2019re already living like a local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional Veronese restaurants dot the entire city, with the aforementioned specialities often on their menus. For a spectacular view of the Lessini Mountains and the city below, head to Ristorante Piper. The interior can seem a bit over the top with its large gold frame and red wheat stalks dominating the main dining room, but the food makes up for any reservations you might have. The menu is large and varied, with meat and fish getting equal play with pasta and vegan options. Carnivores will delight in the moist and tender grilled beefsteak; vegans will rejoice in the seitan-centric main courses on offer. Choose a seat outside, under the canopies, for a delightful summer repast with spectacular vistas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terraza Bar Al Ponte takes Veronese cuisine to a new level, with a river view to match. Gaze in wonder at the Ponte Pietra as you dine on locally sourced seasonal dishes such as smoked mountain trout with Cervia salt. Enjoy an after-dinner Spritz on the terrace as you mingle with well-heeled locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2267\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/verona3_topleft-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2267\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lesso e pear\u00e0 is served for celebrations and holidays.

The three main Piazzas are the perfect starting point to any trip to Verona. The largest of the squares, Piazza Bra, boasts many a historical site including the colossal Arena di Verona\u2014where operatic summer productions of Romeo &amp; Juliet are always on the schedule\u2014and the lavish Palazzo della Gran Guardia, which took 200 years to build, and now hosts concerts and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori both pay homage to Verona\u2019s past with majestic buildings such as the Palazzo Maffei and the Loggia del Consiglio on display. Pro tip: Head to the Erbe\u2019s fruit and vegetable market to pick up some fresh produce for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your trip to Verona wouldn\u2019t be complete without a tour of the sites made famous in Shakespeare\u2019s most renowned tragedy. The unearthly Juliet\u2019s Tomb is housed in San Francesco al Corso, a Franciscan monastery, and is worth a bus ride outside the city\u2014even if Juliet never actually existed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"search-widget-overlay\" class=\"search-widget-overlay\">\r\n  <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__form\" data-search-widget-container>\r\n    <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__details\">\r\n      <button class=\"search-widget-overlay__close\" data-search-widget-close>\r\n        \u2715\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"search-widget-overlay__text\">\r\n        Tickets to Verona      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"search-widget-cta\">\r\n  <button class=\"search-widget-cta__button\" data-search-widget-cta>\r\n    Tickets to Verona  <\/button>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The heroine\u2019s balcony is the most visited site in Verona and with good reason: forlorn lovers head here to ask the doomed Juliet for guidance in their own troubled romantic lives. Graffiti covers the walls below the medieval structure but that doesn\u2019t stop the throngs of tourists hoping for a selfie or an IG-worthy snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2243\" src=\"http:\/\/www.omio.co.uk\/window-seat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/verona7_topleft-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2243\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Arena di Verona hosts plays throughout the year.
