Private days
The city of Romeo & wine
Verona is far more than a backdrop for Shakespeare. The city holds a Roman amphitheatre still used for opera, a medieval fortress along the Adige, a historic market square lined with centuries-old palaces, and a wine culture so embedded in daily life that the carta dei vini often reads like a love letter to the surrounding hills. These guides help you see it properly.
