Uncover the timeless charm of Verona on a privately guided walking tour through its UNESCO-listed historic centre. Wander through cobbled streets where Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influences blend seamlessly. Gaze upon the remarkably preserved Roman Arena—still echoing with the spirit of ancient performances—then pass by Juliet’s legendary balcony, a nod to the city’s most romantic tale.
Stroll through the lively Piazza delle Erbe with its colourful façades and market stalls, and admire the gothic beauty of the Arche Scaligere, the ornate tombs of Verona’s powerful medieval rulers. Then, in a rare and enriching encounter, meet a local expert in ancient prints. Surrounded by historic engravings and etchings, you’ll discover how the story of Verona has been preserved not only in stone, but in ink—through centuries-old techniques once used to create books, maps, and illustrated works.
This is a journey into the very fabric of Verona’s identity—art, architecture, and storytelling woven into every step.
