What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Stop 1

   10min

   Start your walk at the William Shakespeare Bust and Plaque on Corso Porta Nuova in Verona, and just open the app nearby to begin exploring how a man who never came here still became the city’s best paid imaginary resident.

2. 2

   Arena di Verona

   Pass by

   From outside the Verona Arena, admire the Roman amphitheater that swapped gladiators and big cats for tenors, lasers and people in linen queueing for Verdi.

3. 3

   Porta Borsari - World Heritage Site

   10min

   At Porta Borsari, stand beneath the Roman gate that spent two millennia upgrading from tax checkpoint to photo filter for everyone walking into the old town.

4. 4

   Stop 4

   Pass by

   In the courtyard of Casa di Giulietta, look up at the retrofitted balcony and bronze Juliet that prove Verona is perfectly willing to bend history if it helps sell heartbreak.

5. 5

   Piazza delle Erbe

   10min

   In Piazza delle Erbe, watch Roman forum, medieval market and tourist bazaar all overlap as statues, frescoes and fridge magnets compete for your attention.

6. 6

   Piazza dei Signori

   10min

   Step into Piazza dei Signori, a stone lined power cluster where palaces, loggias and a brooding Dante statue once turned law and politics into carefully choreographed theatre.

7. 7

   Arche Scaligere

   Pass by

   At the Arche Scaligere, peer through the railings at gothic tombs that let Verona’s former rulers keep towering over everyone even after the meetings were permanently adjourned.

8. 8

   Stop 8

   Pass by

   Outside Casa di Romeo, study the fortified brick walls and battlements that quietly insist this was a house built for crossbow range, not balcony serenades.
