Two Days in Verona, Verona, Italy

If you are looking for a gorgeous Italian city that’s jam-packed with historic sites, tales of romance, plus fabulous food and wine, then Verona is for you. I’d recommend spending at least two full days in Verona. I stayed three nights and two days; I wish I had allowed myself at least one more day. 

Nicknamed ‘The Little Rome of the North’ and ‘The City of Love’, many visitors only visit Verona as part of a day tour from Venice or Milan. But this beautiful city truly deserves more of your time. 

For me, the best way to visit any city is to start with a walking tour. It’s an excellent way to learn a little about the city’s history, get your bearings, and pick up some valuable tips. 

Now, I normally choose to do the free walking tours, because I am always concerned about my travel budget, and some may even say I’m a bit tight, but shock, horror, this time I actually paid for it!

Why? Did I win the lottery? No, I was looking at doing one of the free ones, such as this one with Free Tour Verona but I was in Verona in the middle of August, and there were a lot of tourists. I just didn’t want to get caught up in a big group.  ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
