One Day in Verona, Italy | A 24-Hour Itinerary

One Day in Verona, Italy | A 24-Hour Itinerary, Verona, Italy

Our favourite movie is Letters to Juliet, so obviously, when we booked a trip to Venice, we had to squeeze in one day in Verona, Italy (duh!).

This place is packed with romance, a little Shakespearean flair, and so much Italian charm that it basically begs for a visit.

Whether you’re in it for the love stories, the ancient Roman history, or just want to wander through those cobblestone streets like the romantic you are, Verona’s got your back.

Sure, you could easily spend more time in Verona, but if you’re anything like us, sometimes you just want to pack a little magic into one day before heading to the next stop.

We hit Verona on the first Sunday of the month, when all the major attractions were just €1 entry (yep, Italy has got their stuff together), and we still managed to see everything on our list-and then some!

Verona is perfect for this-it’s small enough to check off all the big sights, but still packed with enough beauty and history to make every minute count.

Pro tip: if you’re coming from Venice or Milan, getting to Verona is super easy by train. It’s less than an hour from both cities, and Italian trains are affordable and reliable-ideal for a day trip. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
