Opera and architectural delights in beautiful Verona
19th May 2006
Famous for its connections with the world's most celebrated lovers, Romeo and Juliet, Verona is undeniably one of the world's loveliest cities.
As well as 'Juliet's balcony' the city has a wealth of sites to visit and hosts an annual spectacular summer opera season.
Music lovers will delight in the Roman arena with its 20,000-seat performance area which presents lavish productions every night during the summer by candlelight.
Rich with archaeological sites, Verona also has a beautiful medieval city centre made up of narrow streets lined by grand palazzi, providing a perfect opportunity for those on a city break to wander around while soaking up the city's atmosphere.
For those interested in history, Verona is a fascinating mix of Roman, Renaissance and twentieth century architecture.
The Duomo, the city's cathedral, is just one of the city's many elaborate churches which are full of the gothic tombs of the della Scala family, Verona's medieval ruling family.
A trip to the city's shiny marbled main shopping streets will provide the perfect opportunity for those on a break to return home with goods from the city and the surrounding area.
