Verona is a city that wears its history lightly, making it perfect for a relaxed city break. Roman ruins, like the impressive arena, sit comfortably alongside elegant Renaissance palaces and bustling piazzas. The streets are easy to explore on foot, winding past charming cafés, artisan shops, and lively markets. Food and wine are central to the experience. Local trattorias serve Valpolicella and Amarone alongside seasonal dishes, while gelaterias and bakeries provide sweet pit-stops between sights. With its compact size, rich culture, and romantic atmosphere, Verona offers a city break that feels immersive without ever being overwhelming.

- Start your morning at the Roman Arena, one of the best-preserved amphitheatres in Italy. Arrive early to wander its arches and imagine the crowds that once filled the stands. The arena still hosts concerts and operas, if you plan on seeing a show we'd recommend booking your tickets in advance.
- From there, stroll through Verona’s elegant piazzas. Piazza Bra opens up beside the Arena, lined with cafés and grand façades, while Piazza delle Erbe buzzes with market stalls, frescoed buildings and lively energy - perfect for a mid-morning coffee or gelato stop.
- Spend your afternoon exploring the Old Town’s cobbled lanes, browsing boutiques and soaking up the city’s easy charm.
- Begin your day with a visit to Juliet’s House, home to the famous balcony that inspired Shakespeare’s tale. Whether or not you’re drawn to the legend, the frescoed courtyard and nearby cafés make it worth the stop.
- Next, wander down to the Adige River and climb to Castel San Pietro for panoramic views across Verona’s rooftops and bell towers.
- As evening falls, settle into a family-run trattoria or cosy enoteca to enjoy local flavours. Creamy risotto all’Amarone paired with a glass of Valpolicella wine is the perfect finale to your stay.
