City in Italy

Verona

4 things to see1 of them free

Verona’s Roman arena, Juliet’s balcony courtyard, and Piazza delle Erbe are all walkable and free to see from the outside, making this Shakespeare-linked city a rich and affordable day trip or stopover. The old town is compact enough to cover on foot without paying for transport, and rooms run cheaper than in nearby Venice. Visiting outside the June-to-September opera season means lower prices and a calmer center.

Piazza dei Signori

The Piazza dei Signori is Verona's civic rather than commercial square, separated from the busier Piazza delle Erbe by a covered passage. Where the Erbe was the market, the Signori was where the Scaligeri lords and later the Venetian governors conducted public business.
