Things to do in Verona

Verona, the city of art, shows and business, where ancient Rome mixes with beautiful and impressive medieval palaces. There are a few absolute essentials that are not to missed when visiting Verona and they are all on the doorstep of the four star Grand Hotel Verona.

The arena is one of the oldest and best preserved ampitheatres in Italy today dating back to the first century BC. It is the main attraction that draws visitors all year round and over the summer months you can watch a ballet or an opera there. The staff at the Grand Hotel Verona will be only too happy to help you book tickets.

The Piazza Erbe is built on an old Roman forum and is today the venue of the city’s old herb market. As you wander around the market and take in its wonderful delights be sure to see the Palazzo Maffei, Casa dei Mercanti, Palazzo della Ragione and the beautiful fountain in the middle of the square.

The Cathedral, dating back to the 12th century, is in the centre of town and is the main building of religious and historic importance. Juliet’s house and the famous balcony under which Romeo serenaded his love to his sweet Juliet is also in the centre.

The Scaligeri Palace is an impressive and imposing piece of architecture and well worth visiting. It was the official residence of the Della Scala family during the 13th and 14th centuries. A welcome break from all the culture can be found in the Giardini Giusti, fine Italian Renaissance gardens.

If the purpose of your stay is business then the fiera with all its exhibitions and conferences is also in close proximity to the Grand hotel Verona.

What better way to explore these wonders than on foot from the 4 star Grand Hotel Verona right in the centre of Verona.
