If you’re planning on seeing any sights at all, purchase a Verona Card. It’s 8€ for a day or 12€ for three days. It gets you into all these places and then some. By the time you’ve visited two places it’s probably paid for itself.
Perfect. So much to see, close to some treasures of italy e.g. Mantova, great shopping, good food. Touristy, but doesn’t feel over run like Florence or Rome.

Introduction to Veronaby FROMMER'SNovember 20, 2006 Suspend all disbelief regarding the real-life existence of Romeo and Juliet, and your stay in Verona can be magical.

In 1405 it surrendered to Venice, which remained in charge until the invasion of Napoléon in 1797. During the time of Venetian rule, Verona became a prestigious urban capital and controlled much of the Veneto and as far south as Tuscany. You'll see the emblem of the scala (ladder) around town, heraldic symbol of the Scaligeri dynasty. The city has a locked-in-time character that recalls its medieval and Renaissance heyday, and the magnificent medieval palazzi, towers, churches, and stagelike piazzas you see today are picture-perfect testimony to its centuries-old influence and wealth.
