Castelvecchio Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The city of Verona rises on the Adige river. In a few lines it is not possible to summarize all the beauty of this town, which has so much to offer. From its famous Arena in Piazza delle Erbe, passing through its bridges (in particular Ponte Pietra) or the view from Castel San Pietro, and even Romeo and Juliet's house: a tourist destination with an indisputable charm.

Ponte Pietra

Highlight • Bridge

Ponte Pietra is the first construction built by the Romans when they arrived in Verona in the 1st century BC. It is characterized by the combination of two different materials: the original white stone and the bricks that replaced the damage suffered by floods and war. It retains the characteristic donkey-back shape of Roman bridges.

Via Mazzini, Verona

Highlight • Settlement

Via Mazzini is the connection between Piazza Brà and Piazza Erbe. It is not only the largest pedestrian zone in Verona, but also one of the busiest streets. Many tourists stroll from shop window to shop window.

Arena of Verona

Highlight • Historical Site

Towards the end of the reign of Emperor Augustus, the second largest Roman amphitheater after the Colosseum in Rome was built in the first century AD: the Arena di Verona. Originally it was outside the city walls. Only at the time of the barbarian invasions in 265 was the arena enclosed by the city fortifications built by Emperor Gallieno. The remains of this fortification can still be seen near the arena in Piazzetta Mura Gallieno.

The arena was almost completely preserved until the tenth century. Only an earthquake in the eleventh century caused the outer wall to collapse. The "Ala", a wing of the outer wall consisting of five pilasters and arcades, has survived to this day and gives an idea of the original dimensions of the building.
In contrast to the Colosseum in Rome, which was used as a quarry in the Middle Ages, the Arena in Verona has been protected and cared for over the centuries. Today, the Arena di Verona is considered the best-preserved amphitheater from Roman times.

Hey Komootlers, today Verona was on the itinerary. The parking spot is ideal for a city visit. Special highlights include the castle with its bridge, the cathedral, the central piazza with its tall tower, and the arena. The modern sculpture of Romeo and Juliet is a matter of taste and rarely visited. To finish off, we had a drink overlooking …

This city is always wonderful! Because of our son's injured knee, we took a shortcut this time: Piazza Erbe, Castelvecchio, and a little shopping.

A wonderful tour takes us through Verona. Unfortunately it's only a bit hot, so today it's going to be 38 degrees again and very muggy. Luckily the bus into town has air conditioning and we arrive with cool heads. However, it doesn't take long for the sweltering heat to return. So we try to explore the streets on the shady …

At the end of my bike tour I spent two days in Verona. When I arrived I was overwhelmed by the many historical places and buildings, especially the arena. I had already secured a ticket for Puccini's opera Turandot in advance. That was a stroke of luck because these events are usually sold out. Attending an opera in the arena …

Today I visited the Capulet family in Verona for coffee.
Juliet, or as the Italians would say Giulietta, welcomed us under her balcony in the courtyard of the Capulet house.


But what was the other crowd doing here?
Pictures 1 and 2 serve as a deterrent.
