Why go
Verona rewards travelers who look past a single famous balcony. The Arena, river crossings, painted squares and Romanesque churches make several eras visible within a manageable historic center. The defining details are trace Roman Verona from the Arena to Porta Borsari and Piazza delle Erbe; the Adige between Ponte Scaligero and Ponte Pietra.
What to look for
