Itineraries recommended by the direction of the bed and breakfast I Costanti - Verona

A visit to Verona

An attractive itinerary to live music, art and love in Verona

Verona, a city full of treasures.

To really enjoy Verona you should choose to visit some of its wonderful monuments or churches and then only breath the overall atmosphere of this romantic city.

Once you’ve left I Costanti, farmholidays-b&b, you can reach Verona by taking the tangenziale sud and getting out at Borgo Roma, going ahead in the direction of Viale Piave. We suggest you parking your car in Piazza Cittadella at “Piazza Cittadella Parking“ which is not too expensive and it’s very close to the city center that you can reach walking.

We suggest you starting your tour from Piazza Bra. Beyond the Porta dell’ Orologio, in the very heart of Piazza Bra (the name Bra comes from the old german word “breit “ which means “large”) you can see the Arena, the famous roman amphitheatre, third in size after the Colosseo in Roma and the amphitheatre of Santa Maria Capua Vetere.

The first impression you get from the view of the Arena is one of elegance and harmony and if you stop and listen you can still feel the atmosphere of old roman equestrian shows. You can buy a small guide of the city and read some historical information on the Arena sitting in front of the big fountain under the shadow of the luxuriant, centuries-old pines. In summer you can enjoy the opera in Arena during the summer festival organized by Fondazione Arena di Verona, Aida or Boeme, Nabucco or La Traviata, Il Barbiere di Siviglia o Carmen.

Verona is a city of love, music, theatre, art and culture, Verona, a city that gives you emotions.

Love is “Juliet’s Balcony“

From Piazza Bra, walking down Via Mazzini, a lively street full of shops and shop windows, you will reach Via Cappello, where you must visit “La casa di Giulietta De’ Capuleti” in Verona.

As soon as you enter the small courtyard you can see Juliet’s balcony on the right and Juliet’s bronze statue, a sculpture by Nereo Costantini. Juliet’s house is a jewel of gothic art dating back to the 13th century and is traditionally considered family De’ Capuleti’s house in Verona.

Monuments, churches and palaces in Verona

From Via Mazzini you can reach Piazza delle Erbe with its evocative market full of stalls and the typical smell of fritters and roast chestnuts in autumn, ice creams and flowers in summer.

A lively market square all surrounded by painted renaissance houses for which Verona was called at that time “Urbs Picta“, all painted city. Have a look at Torre del Gardello, Torre dei Lamberti, Piazza Dante o dei Signori, Corte Mercato Vecchio with its wonderful Scala della Ragione and Loggia di Fra’ Giocondo, marvellous examples of gothic art in Verona.

An important church to visit is Santa Anastasia, the biggest church in Verona in gothic style; it was built by the domenicani friars on the foundations of a previous church already devoted to Santa Anastasia. Here you can see the marvellous Fresco by Pisanello “St.George and the princess” unique sample of courtly gothic art.

The church is full of important works of art by famous artists from Veneto like Caroto, Liberale da Verona, Brusasorci or Stefano da Verona: if you observe them all deeply you will never live the church. From Santa Anastasia, crossing Ponte Pietra, you’ll get to the Roman Theatre on Castel San Pietro hill, in the heart of the old roman city.

Every summer, plays, festivals and concerts take place at the roman theatre and you can choose the Shakespearian festival or Verona Jazz that attract thousands tourists in Verona every year. Inside the theatre there is an interesting archeological museum situated in the old Convento di San Girolamo behind the theatre; here you can observe all the oldest remains from Verona romana. Entrance timetables are indicated at the entrance of the theatre.

I want to stay one more day in Verona.
