What to expect

Verona historic center

The experience unfolds as a walking tour through Verona's historic center, following a route through the old town that connects food stops with key Romeo and Juliet locations.

Features

• During the walk, your guide provides insight into the cultural roots of the Montagues and Capulets, connecting real Veronese families and places with the Romeo and Juliet story as you move through the old town.

Arena di Verona

Arena di Verona is one of the central landmarks on your route, a Roman amphitheater that you visit as part of the city exploration.

Features

• Your walking tour through the historic center, including an Arena di Verona visit, includes time to observe the amphitheater up close and understand its place in Verona's urban layout, framed by the surrounding streets and squares you have just walked through.

• Here, your guide continues the storytelling on Romeo and Juliet, the Montagues, and the Capulets, explaining how Verona's public spaces like Arena di Verona contrast with the more intimate locations tied to the lovers' narrative.
