Things to do here
Shakespeare located three of his plays in Verona; Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and The Taming of the Shrew, so the city is hugely attractive to visitors intent on discovering what made the city such a major draw for the greatest ever English language playwright and the city aims to reward the inquisitive visitor. The city’s medieval old town was built beside the meandering Adige River and the Verona Arena is a first century Roman amphitheatre still in use.
