Verona Holiday Weather Overview
Verona is popular with tourists, both from across the Veneto region and around the globe. Large numbers of people know about Verona because Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet in this former Roman city. Despite the number of tourists visiting, it manages to feel relatively relaxed.
The evidence of Verona's Roman history is everywhere. In fact, the old city is registered as an UNESCO World Heritage site, thanks to not only the Roman heritage but also the many aspects of the rich history enjoyed by this Venetian city. There is plenty to see in this beautiful city.
Perhaps the most impressive monument in Verona is the Roman amphitheatre. In fact, there are two. One is known as the Arena and is still used today. During the opera season, make sure to enjoy a performance here. There is another Roman amphitheatre located on a hill in the northeast of Verona. Another popular attraction is Juliet's House, which purportedly features in Shakespeare's famous tragedy and has become a place of pilgrimage for fans.
