About this activity

Explore Verona's medieval heart on a 2-hour guided walk through the streets that inspired Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Discover Renaissance palaces, ancient Roman ruins, and iconic piazzas while your local expert reveals the city's layered history beyond the famous tragedy.

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”: This medieval old town, nestled alongside the river Adige, will forever be marked for its association with Shakespeare's most famous love tragedy, “Romeo and Juliet”. Every year, many visitors roam to its Piazzas and streets, trying to retrace the footsteps of Romeo and Juliet. Here you will admire the symbol of the Venetian Republic, the Lion of Saint Mark in Piazza delle Erbe, and the tombs of the ancient lords of Verona at the Arche Scaligere. You will be fascinated by its rich history, the myriad of stunning buildings, and architecture “in fair Verona”.

Highlights

✓Piazza delle Erbe and the Lion of Saint Mark (symbol of Venetian rule)
✓Arche Scaligere—ornate Gothic tombs of Verona's medieval ruling families
✓Romeo and Juliet landmarks and Shakespeare connections
✓Medieval architecture and Renaissance palaces along the Adige riverbank
✓Roman history woven throughout the old town's narrow streets

Insider tips

★Visit early morning (before 10am) to beat crowds in the piazzas and get clearer photos of architectural details.
★Ask your guide about lesser-known courtyards and side streets—they often reveal local life away from main tourist routes.
★Wear comfortable shoes with good grip; medieval cobblestones can be uneven and slippery in wet conditions.

•Duration is 2 hours; plan for a leisurely pace with photo stops.
•Tour operates rain or shine; bring an umbrella or rain jacket in winter/spring.
•Meeting point details and guide identification will be provided at booking confirmation.
