Verona

Very picturesque – loved the arena. Not far from Venice either.

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.

I hear that Verona is a cute little city and is way more chill than Rome. I mainly want to see the Romeo and Juliet balcony, of course, but I also want to just hang out in the rest of town, too. My vision is that it’s a bit more authentic than Rome, just because there aren’t quite so many tourists.

the best gelato place is this little corner shop by Ponte Pietra.

One of Italy’s less talked about treasures. Everyone talks about Milan, Rome, Venice, Florence, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about Verona. Go, it’s so wonderful.

verona has some great shops, but the main attraction is definitely the place of ‘Romeo & Juliet’!
It is the cutest place ever, with the walls covered with (love)messages from people and couples all over the world and in different languages. amazing… (even if they were mostly stuck to the walls with chewing gum.. kind of gross, but it strangely still managed to be romantic!)

You can also pay to go up to the balcony of Juliet (which some people think is stupid) I think its a really cool thing to have felt part of!

I <3 Verona!

We’ve been a few time, twice to the summer opera in the roman arena! Both time we saw 2 operas while there, it was wonderful! Afterwards hurry over to the cafe’s lining the street, so you can people watch and catch a glimpse of the preformers going home!

I’m spending the month here. I think it’s going to work out well after this first weekend. I need to get a bit of a routine set into place, and learn how to cook (uh-oh). We’ll see how it goes.

While staying with friends in Padua, we drove to Verona for a wine fair.

ya i did it and i have pictures of it but ya know you’ll do anything to be lucky in love and i want mine to last for always so i did it! so there! that right one is so shiny!
loved the bridge in to the old section of verona i counted 20 different building materials in the construction of it , i just wonder how many times it has been either bombed , washed out by the river or just fallen in to the water from age but its in good shape so they are doing something right! its lovely and at 7am on sunday moring it is the best all is peaceful and quiet, just the people going to get the daily bread before church, then at 8am all the different church bells ring and man what a sound! was it worth it to see this city so early in the am you betch ya!
