Known as the city of Romeo and Juliet, Verona is a charming city located in north Italy. Despite mostly owing its fame to two of Shakespeare’s play, this city could certainly allure hearts on its own.

This is part of my 3 days budget-travel trip across Milan, Venice and Verona.

Firstly, this town is a small area you will want to explore to its fullest. For that, I highly recommend walking instead of taking the bus or renting a car. When you plan your day-itinerary right, it’s completely possible to see the entire Verona by foot.

How to plan the right itinerary? Plot the places you want to visit, I recommend marking them in google map. This ables you to see how you could most efficiently plan the route for the day. Make sure you’re not making detours around since not only it waste your energy, you’re also losing valuable time to view this pretty city!

CASTELVECCHIO BRIDGE

The Castelvecchio Bridge, or also known as the Scaligero Bridge, was once featuring the largest span in the World. From here you can overlook Ponte delle Vittoria and Chiesa di Sant’Eufemia by the Adige river bank. If you’re someone like me, you might spend half an hour here taking pictures of all angles. Not only does the construction wow you, this bridge overlook such a scenic view of Verona.

There wasn’t a lot of people, which made me love Verona even more. It’s a lively city, but definitely not overcrowded.

ARENA DI VERONA

Think of it as Colosseum’s smaller sister, but as beautiful and as grand. Arena di Verona is, until today, still very well preserved. It also houses up to present time some large-scale operas. In its prime, the capacity was 30 000, but now only a maximum of 15 000 audience are allowed.

CASTEL SAN PIETRO

You need to do a slight hike to reach Castel San Pietro but it is a must, compulsory go-to place in Verona. Just look at that view! As I was walking the streets of Verona, I knew already that it’s a stunning city, but seeing it from above took it to a whole new level.

After completing my trip in Verona, it’s not hard to see how this city inspired the most famous love story to date. No matter which turn you take or which direction, you always end up finding a pleasing site in every turn.
