Historic houses, islands, bridges, markets, churches, and palaces come together in magnificent harmony.

Visit Juliet's House located on Via Cappello. In reality, this historic building belonged to the Dell Cappello family, with no direct connection to the Capulets from the tale, but William Shakespeare drew inspiration from it to ignite our imaginations.

Next, visit the Verona Arena, the world's third-largest Roman amphitheater located in Piazza Bra. Dating back over 2,000 years, this ancient Roman monument seats more than 15,000 spectators and ranks among the top 3 largest ancient arenas in Italy. Today, it serves as an iconic symbol of Verona, hosting prestigious concerts and operas.

Stroll through the Old Town at Piazza delle Erbe, home to the historic Palazzo Maffei and the Lamberti Tower (Torre dei Lamberti), which offers panoramic views across all of Verona. Historically used as a watchtower and warning post during wartime, reaching the top involves taking an elevator up about 7 floors and walking up 2 more flights of stairs, where giant iron bells chime every half hour.

Afterward, travel 160 km to Milan and enjoy dinner together.
