About this activity
Our licensed guide will take you on a journey through time, from the Romans to the Middle Age. From the Arena, the most famous amphitheater built more than 2000 years ago and still in use today for international opera performances and concerts, to the Tombe Scaligere, commemoration of the Scaliger family who ruled Verona in the 13th-14th century. Immerse yourself in today’s life: visit Piazza delle Erbe, setting of many historic buildings, sculptures but also of a colorful market overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetable, and Piazza dei Signori, hub of the University crowd at night. Verona is of course well known also for its Shakespeare associations, for the tragic love between Romeo and Juliet. End your tour by the famous balcony and read the wishes of the lovers who left a love note pinned to the wall of Juliet’s house. If you feel particular inspired and you are single, you can also declaim the famous “ O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? “, he might be hiding in Verona.
What to expect
Arena di Verona

The Arena, with its gigantic dimensions of 140 meters in length and 110 meters in width, dominates Piazza Bra and is the world's best preserved Roman amphitheater.

Scaligero Bridge
Corso Castelvecchio 2, Verona, 37121, Italy
The famous castle is the most important military construction of the Scaliger dynasty that ruled the city in the Middle Ages. The castle is connected to the left bank of the Adige river by a fortified bridge, Ponte Scaligero, which had the largest supporting arch span in the world when completed in 1356.
Arco dei Gavi
Corso Cavour 2, Verona, 37121, Italy
This arch, built in white veronese marble and dedicated to the “Gavia”, an important Roman family, in the 1st century, used to stand in the middle of Corso Castelvecchio, connecting the city with the capital, Rome. The French dismantled it as it was considered a hindrance to traffic and dumped the pieces under the arches of the arena. It was reassembled where it now stands, piece by piece, in 1932.
Piazza delle Erbe
Piazza delle Erbe, Verona, 37121, Italy

The Piazza delle Erbe has continued to fill this same role for centuries: meeting place, home to the market, and also home to the city's administration The centre of the square contains the monuments that symbolise the different rulers of Verona: the most famous is the fountain, built using a Roman statue during Scaligeri rule and later known as the "Madonna Verona". On the far side of the square are the 14th century Gardello Tower and the Baroque Palazzo Maffei.

Piazza dei Signori
Verona, 37121, Italy
