There is no way to escape the magic of the city that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Verona is beautiful at any time of the year – a city to discover on foot – with scenic architecture in the historical center, Roman ruins (the ancient Roman amphitheater hosts a remarkable opera festival every summer), palaces, Renaissance churches and gardens. Verona is perpetually in love. Its chic cafés and restaurants are always romantic, the nightlife finds starry-eyed lovers everywhere and even the fashion is sensual and passionate.
