What to expect in Verona
Perhaps best known for its Shakespeare associations, Verona attracts tourists from all over the world who admire its pretty piazzas and meandering lanes. But beyond the Renaissance romance, Verona is a bustling centre, dominated by a huge 1st-century amphitheatre. Pretty churches, architecturally charming bridges over the Adige River, impressive art and regional wine and food from the Veneto hinterland, make Verona one of northern Italy’s most attractive cities.
The main language spoken in Verona is Italian, but most locals will speak English in tourist areas. That’s not to say you shouldn’t give Italian a try though!
Verona enjoys hot summers, but the winters are much colder than other Mediterranean. The best times of the year to go to Verona are from late May through to early October. If you're looking for a less crowded scene, spring and autumn are best.
