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.

Biblioteca Capitolare of Verona: the oldest library in the world. When was the Italian language born? Everyone knows that it emerged from spoken Latin which through changes, deformations, and even influences of other dialects gave rise to our language. But not all know that the oldest phrase in the Italian language is contained in the so-called “Veronese Riddle”, written at the top of folio 3r in codex 89 (LXXXIX). This volume is a Mozarabic prayer book, that is, a book of liturgical prayers used in Spain and written in Visigothic characters.

The Verona Tourist Office is centrally located, next to the imposing Palazzo della Gran Guardia and opposite the Arena and the Town Hall. The operators with courtesy and dedication are available to inform users about the beautiful Verona and its surroundings, the artistic beauty, but also on ways of transport, guided tours and activities outside the classic circuits of visit, all in a dynamic land. The office is open all year round on a continuous basis.
The staff here were very helpful and informative. We bought a 24 hour Verona Card (18 euros) which gives access to many places and discounts to others. It also gives you free bus travel in the urban buses, so saving us a taxi fare back to the station (as long as it's within the 24 hour period of activation). Worth a visit for good advice and support.
