items Verona is my place. Any time I travel to Europe I make stop in Verona for a few nights. This year I stayed in Verona for a total of 10 days - only 4 were actually planned, but I couldn't resist returning. Beautiful architecture, incredible piazzas, f...

Verona
Without a doubt my favorite Piazza in Italy. So much to see and do. Sip a Spritz Bianco and watch the passersby. Enjoy a fresh fruit cup from the stand, do a little souvenir shopping, visit the Farmacia or just sit back and enjoy the fountain.
Piazza Erbe
With the gate & the Arena it's no question why this is the most populated piazza in verona, and rightfully so. During opera season you can sit in the piazza and hear the opera. This is where the christmas market is in December with it's light sho...
Piazza Brà
Schedule a Free walking tour to hear some behind the scenes stories about Verona. Any time I travel to a new city I schedule a free walking tour the first day to help get a lay of the land & since I typically travel solo to get some social intera...

If you're going to visit one, you might as well visit 4 right? The 4 chiese storiche are the 4 historical churches of Verona and they are all worth visiting. You can purchase a single ticket or all four and visit at your leisure during your stay. The...
Verona Cathedral
I'll admit I haven't been into the museum, but have visited the balcony a few times. Unfortunately, it's often very crowded with a long line, yet still worth it if you haven't been. The legend says that touching Juliet's left breast on the bronze sta...
Juliet's House and Museum
Now visiting Juliet's tomb was a much more profound experience - for me at least. Set in a crypt - and call me weird but I'll go into every crypt and old cemetery I see in Europe. Juliet's tomb is an open sarcophagus in the crypt in the Museo degli A...
Museo degli affreschi
Chiesa di San Georgio is a church I tried visiting many many times, yet could never quite time it right until I was there in December. This church is part of the Verona Minor Hierusalem. A group of volunteers that will walk you through and share abou...
Parrocchia di San Giorgio in Braida
The arena tour is incredible, but if you have the chance to see the opera here just do it, even if you don't enjoy opera. There is something being in this almost 2000 year old arena where so much history exists. In daylight it'll take your breath awa...
Arena di Verona
Again, if you're in Verona likely you've seen, read or heard about the Castelvecchio and it's on your list - of course it is. It's history and to miss it would be unfortunate. The medieval and renaissance art, the weapons, armor and jewelry, there's ... favorite was the archeological dig happening in the court yard - at least while I was there.

If you've seen - and love - Letters to Juliet then you can't miss out on a morning as Juliet's Secretary. Seriously, one of the most memorable experiences from Verona 2025 trips. for 3 hours you'll open letters sent from around the world and play Jul...

Daytrips
Ok, so this isn't actually in Verona (obvi) but it's a short 1-hour train ride away. Almost every time I'm in Verona I take a day trip to Venice because, well, it's Venice. I prefer not to stay in Venice, yet love to go and explore the canals and eat...
Venice, Italy
Padua had been on my radar for quite some time, yet I hadn't been till December 2025. I'm so glad I went, and cannot wait to go back to explore more. Beautiful lively college town with one of the post beautiful Bascillica's around. ~45minutes from Ve...
Padua, Italy
I'll be 100% honest - I haven't actually been to Milan yet - it's on the list for a daytrip this year. It's about 1-hour train ride away so definitely doable for a daytrip from Verona, although remember you can't - nor should you try - to see everyth...
Milan
Places to Eat
My favorite little caffe. Super compact, yet truly magical. The walls are filled with trinkets, the cappuccino & hot chocolate are to die for and the pistachio croissants to die for. They have nondairy milk as well - which is so nice. The staff a...
Caffè Borsari
The BEST Tortellone. Fresh made and cooked to order. It's more of a quick meal, than sit down, but so worth it and always busy for good reason. I usually opt for the vegetarian mix di tortelli and am never disappointed. It's the first time I had aspa...
La Bottega della Gina XXL
Just across the River Adige in the Borgo Trento neighborhood is this sweet lil Pasticceria. It did not disappoint. I will be 100% honest - always - they speak very little English. It's a locals spot, so worth it. Away from the crowds of tourists. Gre...
Pasticceria Perlini - Verona
Incredible Verona street food. Fresh pasta with incredible sauces. What more could you ask for? Try the Pesto Genovese - you won't be disappointed.
AMIDO® VERONA (@amido.verona) •
I love Focaccia so of course I stop here a few times for a snack or lunch. Consistently good, and busy - with locals not tourists…yet. This isn't my favorite Focacceria in Italy, however, that's in Genova - I'll get to posting that board soon enough.
FOCACCERIA PONTE PIETRA, Verona -
Places to Stay
I prefer to live like a local Airbnb style so have only stayed at one hotel in Verona. That hotel and my 2 favorite Airbnb's are below.
I stayed here for 6 nights May 2025 and loved every minute of it. It's in Veronetta so just across the river from Citta Antica. With bakeries, cafes and markets within steps of the front door. Guiliano & his team are so kind and helpful, only a q...

If you're more of a hotel person my son & I stayed here on our 3 week European adventure for his high school graduation. It's a simple hotel, so lower your American standards a bit, yet has everything you could ask for and more and a great rate. ...
Hotel Verona Centro Storico - Albergo 3 Stelle Piazza Erbe | Aurora
I stayed 3 nights in this Airbnb in December 2025. 5 minutes from Piazza Erbe, about 25 from the Train Station about 5 minutes from the bus stop, only steps from some of my favorite like Cafe Bosari, San Giogio & Porta Borsari. A large Pam market...
