“In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…” Doesn’t that opening line sound familiar? One minute we’re young adults studying Romeo and Juliet in school, and the next, we’re planning our itineraries for a romantic weekend in the city where literature’s most famous love storyis set.

Fear not, lovers, our Verona travel guide isn’t solely based on all things Shakespeare and tradition…although, it’s virtually impossible not to be swept up in the ancient historical charms and pure romance of this storied northern city in northern Italy, which lies in the region of Veneto. Cape – check. Hat – check. A little something sweet to snack on between sights – check. We hope you’re all rugged up, loved up, and ready to explore Verona with us!
