Verona
Verona is best known as the romantic, art-filled home of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers, its Roman Arena still hosting summer opera beneath the same stone tiers used two millennia ago. Compact and walkable, its historic centre is a dense weave of medieval piazzas, riverside promenades, and pastel palazzi tucked into a bend of the Adige River.
