Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Via Diaz and Corso Porta Borsari Angolo con Via Armando Diaz, 37121, Verona Italy

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Arena di Verona, Piazza Bra 1, 37121, Verona Italy
It is one of the largest amphitheatres in Italy and the most famous monument in Verona. In this building, built by the Romans around the middle of the 1st century AD, different types of shows took place: fights between gladiators and hunts for ferocious and exotic animals. The elliptical shape is designed to accommodate a large number of spectators (around 30,000) and to give the games enough space. It was built outside the walls of the Roman city to encourage the influx of spectators and avoid crowding in the city center.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Casa di Giulietta, Via Cappello 23, 37121, Verona Italy
One of the unmissable stops is undoubtedly Juliet’s house, the main character of William Shakespeare’ tragedy. The Capulet houses were not located here, but near the bank of the Adige river. In the early twentieth century important works were done to avoid the flooding of the river and some medieval houses had to be demolished. From the ruins of these buildings a small gothic balcony was rescued and positioned in the courtyard of the tower house of the Cappello family in Verona: thus Juliet’s balcony was born.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Arco dei Gavi, Corso Cavour 2, 37121, Verona Italy
The Arco dei Gavi, located along the ancient Via Postumia in Verona, just outside the walls of the Roman city, is a very rare case of honorary and monumental arch for private use in Roman architecture.
