Verona

Verona, Italy is probably most famous as the setting for Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo and Juliet. It's in northeast Italy in the Veneto region, close to Venice. It's easy to make the trip by train from either Venice or Milan. Verona has many Roman ruins throughout town, most notably, the Arena. The Arena is a large amphitheater that dates back to the first century AD. You also can't visit Verona without stopping by Juliet's House on Via Cappello, just off the Piazza delle Erbe. The balcony is the supposed balcony that inspired the most famous love scene in the play. You can expect to find tourists gathered around with camera, perhaps detracting a little from what might have once been a romantic setting. Other sights in town worth visiting are the Castle Scaligeri, Castelvecchio, Lamberti Tower, Juliet's Tomb, and the small chapel San Giorgetta. If you have the time while you're in town, consider hoping on Bus 41 and heading out to S. Maria di Lourdes Sanctuary. From the edge of Verona's highest hill you can have a stunning view of the surrounding area. It's well worth the trip.
