So splendid was medieval Verona that its reputation alone inspired Shakespeare to set two plays here (Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona). Though its connection to the actual Capulets is tenuous at best, the so-called Juliet's House draws half a million tourists per year, many of them keen on reenacting the balcony scene. Don't miss the Roman amphitheater and the Palazzo Barberi.

A beautiful Italian garden in the heart of Verona. You can visit the garden and a part of the palace called the 20th-century Apartment.
Giardino Giusti is a stunning 16th century Italian Renaissance garden part of the Manneristic palace of the “Giusti” family and designed by Agostino Giusti, Knight of the Republic of Venice and prominent figure of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, in 1570 over a previously existing 14th century garden. Featuring a splendid park of terraces climbing upon the hill and overlooking the historical center of Verona, the garden is located 7 min walking far from the wonderful 1st century BC Roman Theater in the “Isolo” quartier of Verona, so named as it was an island whose external river branch (“canale dell’Acqua Morta”) has been buried after the 1882 flood. This idyllic and bucolic oasis of peace presents all the inspirational features of the renowned “Boboli Gardens”, Medici’s gardens at Palazzo Pitti in Florence, and is open every day from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. (adults €10,00; 0-10 years old and disabled people free entry, students €5,00; Reduced price for Verona Card holders). Tip: Amongst the cypresses geometrically placed along the main track there is the so-called “Goethe’s Cypress”, a cypress older than 600 years and mentioned by the famous German writer in his book “Italian Journey” (1817) as he saw it during his visit in Verona in 1786.

A few kilometres from Verona, the ancient hamlet of Molina is waiting for you to give you a break and enjoy the surrounding nature and culture in a magic atmosphere. The Waterfall Park is the perfect place for an excursion in the lush vegetation, between vertiginous walls of bare rock, large caves and pounding waterfall. The opportunity to choose between three routes (green, red and black) makes the park a suitable destination for all ages and needs. Don't forget to visit the ancient mill of the 17th century and Molina, the characteristic hamlet of stone where you can buy typical local products.
Made the Red circular with a nine years old and 3.5 years old girls, they really enjoyed it. It’s not an easy trail: be prepared to walk down from the parking about. 15 min, than you enter and you start by descending a lot. But the view worth it, most of it is in shedding area, and the waterfalls makes it cooler. Two main attractions: one is the swing in waterfall n. 17 in the map and one with omega with was inoperable (June 4). One of the best trails we had with kids. Definitely worthy for half day trip if you are in east Garda lake or near Verona.
