Verona

While the city is most well-known as the setting for William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet it’s fair to say that things have changed quite a lot since the days of the bard. With a culture unlike anywhere else, choosing where to go in this city of famous art, mouth-watering food and breath-taking scenery is likely to be your biggest problem. Its location midway between Venice and Lake Garda makes Verona the ideal base for a holiday or a superb day trip.
