About Verona

Choosing where to go in this nation of soul-stirring cities, world famous art, and waist-expanding food and wine is likely to be your biggest problem.

Verona, roughly midway between Venice and Lake Garda, should definitely be on your list. The city that inspired Romeo and Juliet is no work of fiction – it’s every bit as romantic as Shakespeare imagined.

Shopping in Verona

Verona is a lovely place to shop as well as sightsee, and the city’s main shopping streets are gracious Corso Porta Borsari and Via Mazzini. For high-end designer clothing for men and women, try Alkimia (Via Sant'Eufemia 9), while Macondo (Violo Scudo di Francia 7) stocks trendy local and international labels. A beautiful vintage perfumery is Profumeria Carlotta (Via Portici 5), which is a great place to find boutique scents made by off-the-radar labels. There is a colourful market (Piazza delle Erbe) with stalls selling clothes and fruit and vegetables in the centre from Monday to Saturday.

Food & Drink in Verona

UNESCO World Heritage Site Verona attracts plenty of tourists, but there are still many excellent, authentic places to eat the delicious, hearty cuisine of the Veneto. Famous local dishes include tagliata di manzo (thin slices of beef with rocket) and risotto all’Amarone (rice dish cooked with beef and local Amarone wine). Try these and more at places such as welcoming, good-value Hostaria La Vecchia Fontanina (Piazzetta Chiavica 5), with some innovative, creative dishes, traditional, venerable wine bar Antica Bottega del Vino (Vicolo Scudo di Francia 3a), which also serves impeccable local dishes, or down-to-earth, cheap-and-cheerful Osteria Al Carroarmato (Vicolo Gatto 2).
