Verona in one day

If you currently planning your trip to Italy you should definitely add Verona to your ultimate Italian bucket list. Why? Well, there are plenty of reasons for doing that. First and probably the most obvious one is that Verona is undoubtedly one of the most charming and romantic cities in the world. This is due to the fact that this small beautiful art town situated in the northeastern part of Italy owes its international fame to tragically beautiful love story between Romeo Capuleti and Juliet Montecchi that’s set right here. That’s why I’m sure it comes as no great surprise to you when I say that Juliet’s house with the most famous balcony in the world is definitely one of the best spots to see here, but I have a degree in Theatre Arts and I love Shakespeare’s plays so I may not be objective…

But even if you’re not an extremely sentimental person and magical atmosphere of this theatrical city does not inspire you there is still much more that Verona can offer to its visitors. So if you’re not an avid fan of Shakespeare and a tourist crowd admiring Juliet’s Balcony it’s not what you dream of the beautiful architecture and inspiring history of this medieval city makes it incredibly worth visiting. As a matter of fact, this small but beautiful atmospheric city of northern Italy is full of architectural delights. So if you’re passionate about architecture, historical buildings like Arena di Verona, Torre dei Lamberti, Basilica di San Zeno or Arche Scagliere will definitely impress you.

Another great reason to visit Verona is, of course, a typical local cuisine filled with delicious local specialties. Yes, because who doesn’t like a real, authentic Italian food? I bet you don’t know even a one person who wouldn’t love to eat their way through Italy… and Verona is definitely one of the best places in Italy that every foodie has to visit during their holiday trip. Oh, I just thought about my favorite Pastissada de caval, Risotto al tastasal, Pandoro and of course Baci di Giulietta and you know what? I’ve got very hungry…

Honestly, the spirit of this city can always enchant my soul and every time I’m there I’m discovering the beauty of Verona all over again. Because this small Italian city is packed full of incredibly stunning and inspiring sites worth seeing, things worth doing and delicious local specialties worth trying. So if you wanted to skip it to spend more time in Venice or Milan change your plans and you won’t regret it!

And what I love the most is that you can explore Verona on foot in one day!

6.  Romeo’s House

Not far from Juliet’s House, in the historic center of Verona, you will find Romeo’s House at Via Arche Scaligere no 2. It’s an authentic medieval structure that according to Shakespeare’s tragedy belonged to Montecchi’s family. However, this historic building was named “Rome’s House” only for tourism purposes because it’s real name is “Casa di Cagnolo Nogarola detto Romeo.” Unfortunately, as opposed to Juliet’s House, it’s not possible to visit it because “Romeo’s house” is privately owned and inhabited. However, the beautiful Gothic medieval façade and Inscription on the front door (Act 1, scene 1 in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet) attracts thousands of tourists wanted to take a picture.  

7.  Visit the fortified structure of Castel San Pietro.

Another important spot to visit during your trip to Verona is Castel San Pietro. This fortified structure build in neo-Romanesque style stands proudly on the San Pietro hill which rises a few hundred meters above the Roman Theatre. During Roman times, Castel San Pietro had profound religious significance because of the temple connected to the Roman Theatre that is well preserved and located on the hill on the left Adige. The elevated position of this strategically located Castle offers an exceptional view of the city for those who choose to visit this masterpiece of neo-Romanesque Italian architecture.

It is possible to reach the terrace of Castel San Pietro on foot or using the funicular railway (2 euros for a round-trip ticket) which is near the Roman Theatre, close to the Church of San Stefano. Castel San Pietro is definitely one of the most beautiful spots in Verona and the best place to admire the panoramic view of the city of love.

8.  Visit a gorgeous Roman Catholic Il Duomo di Verona

La Cattedrale di Santa Maria Matricolare is an another gorgeous Roman Catholic church you just have to visit while you are in Verona. Located in one of the oldest parts of the city, il Duomo di Verona is a part of an architectural complex that includes the Chapter Library, the Cloister of the Canons, the Baptistery and the Church of Sant’Elena and of course the Bishop’s Palace. Unfortunately, in 1117 the cathedral was completely damaged by an earthquake among most of the city. But within 20 years it was entirely restored in Romanesque style in 1138. Consecrated in 1187 by Pope Urban III and dedicated to Saint Maria Assunta it’s definitely one of the most important and incredibly beautiful spots in Verona.

Inside the museum, consisting of a series of large rooms, you can find many extraordinary exhibitions and collection dedicated to Italian and European art consisting with a large number of paintings, sculptures, archaeological finds and of course, weapons.

The Castel Vecchio Bridge or Scaliger Bridge

The Castel Vecchio Bridge over the Adige River is definitely one of the top attractions of Verona. This architectural masterpiece of the Italian Middle Ages was build most likely between 1354 and 1356 and opened to the public in 1870. Since then this 101.84 meters long, fortified bridge played an important role during various battles and wars.

Today the Castel Vecchio Bridge not only preserves the atmosphere of the typical medieval settlement and reminds the glorious times of Verona but also is an impressive entrance to the Castelvecchio Museum. So if you currently planning your trip to the city of Romeo and Juliet crossing this gorgeous bridge and enjoying a breathtaking view of the Adige river should be on your bucket list.

This beautiful medieval bridge with many panoramic points is a perfect place for admiring the sunset. Plus it’s easily reachable on foot from the historic city center! So don’t miss your opportunity to visit this beautiful spot!

10.  Visit beautiful Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore.

Located a little outside the main historic city center but easily accessible on foot in 10 minutes from Castelvecchio Bridge, Basilica di San Zeno is another iconic building and without any doubt one of the finest Romanesque basilicas in Italy.

According to the tradition, this incredibly beautiful and well preserved Romanesque-style building was the location of the wedding in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. So if you want to follow the footsteps of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet you must stop here and take some time to admire this gorgeous, truly magical place and one of the most important buildings in Verona.

  1. So much to see and do… it takes a lot of planning to pick what you want to add to your list and how to get it all done, and you’ve done such a fantastic, thorough post to help! This is excellent, Kate! I wish one day I could be able to visit - if I ever do, I’ll have to come back to this as you’ve included so much, and helpful links to all the relevant sites and tips on the best eateries too. Great stuff!!

    1. Hi Caz!! Hi Caz! If you’ve never been to Verona you just have to come and visit this incredibly beautiful city! And of course you just have to try Italian gelato!!! Oh my gosh, if only I could eat one food I would consume lots of gelato…that would be paradise… what about you Caz? What’s your favourite dessert? 😀

    1. Well, that’s an excellent answer! Italian gelato is the best especially the flavors like stracciatella, Zuppa Inglese, Strawberry Cheesecake, salted caramel and of course dark chocolate…🤤

  2. This is helpful. I don’t like one-day stops and rushed trips. I would rather see less but have more time to get to know an area.

    1. Hi Aixa! Thank you for your comment!! I completely agree with you, rushed trips are no fun especially if you travel a place like Italy that is so incredibly rich in art, architecture, and history. But I’ve noticed that people who spend holidays in Italy tent to skip Verona in order to spend more time in Milan or Venice and they lose the opportunity to visit this incredibly beautiful town. I wrote this post to show that you can spend one day in Verona and see the best spots “just walking around”. Verona is a small town but with an incredibly rich history, culture and culinary tradition (like any other Italian city 😉) that’s why it’s worth to spend even couple of hours there just to feel an amazing atmosphere of this place! Take care and have a wonderful day!! P.S. Your new blog is insane! I love it, lots of interesting articles and insanely beautiful photos!! Great work!! 😘😘
