Verona Arena
The Verona Arena is a 1st-century Roman amphitheater in the center of Verona, the third largest in Italy and still used for opera performances in summer. Entry to the interior is paid at a modest price. The exterior on Piazza Bra is free to admire. Budget travelers sit on the Piazza Bra steps, photograph the arena, and check whether any opera tickets are available at the cheapest standing-room price (some of the most affordable opera in the world).

Juliet's Balcony (Casa di Giulietta) is a 14th-century house with a small balcony in Via Cappello, attributed to Shakespeare's Juliet. The courtyard is free (touching Juliet's bronze statue for luck is free).
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.
