Verona is one of Italy's most attractive and prosperous cities with rose pink buildings, bustling squares and elegant shops. The setting for Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet', there's more to Verona than the world's most famous balcony.
Thomson offer you the opportunity to pre-book performances at the Verona Opera which take place in the 14,000 capacity Roman amphitheatre.
Our opinion
· Verona is a beautiful, typically Italian small city with rose pink buildings · The pedestrianised centre around Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe has wonderful shops and there's no shortage of cafés and bars either · There are also lots of restaurants to sample the tasty local cuisine and the many wines of the region.
