This Renaissance gem’s a seriously photogenic customer. But, chances are, you won’t actually need the camera – because holidays to Verona are guaranteed to be jam-packed with memorable moments. Make sure you pack comfy shoes, though, because this is a city best explored on foot. Winding cobblestone streets lead to charming piazzas where traditional trattorias serve up the kind of pizza and pasta Italy’s famous for. Popular sites include the elaborate Gothic tombs of the Scaligeri family who once ruled Verona and Juliet’s balcony, made famous by Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. But the main attraction’s the Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra, where you can spend for a romantic evening watching opera under the stars.
