One Day in Verona, Italy: How to See Everything
Start at the bottom and work your way up. You'll see all the Romeo and Juliet sites, including where they lived and where they got married, along with the best views in Verona and amazing churches and piazzas.
Be sure to subscribe to see all our adventures around the world:
As you can see at the end of the video, we had time to spare. So if you want to go up the Torre dei Lamberti or go into the Arena, you can. Just make sure you watch your times, since ALL THE CHURCHES CLOSE AT 5pm, with a siesta break from 1-1:30.
You can easily see the entire city in one day. We started at the bottom (San Zeno and Castelvecchio) and zig-zagged our way up to the top, ending at the viewpoint (at Piazzale Castel San Pietro) for sunset. A little better planning would reduce the amount of walking we did (we covered more than 30,000 steps), but the town is so small that you can get across the entire thing in about 15 minutes.
Here is a list of everything we saw and the corresponding timestamps:
0:27 - Basilica San Zeno (where Romeo and Juliet got married)
3:01 - Castelvecchio
3:20 - Castelvecchio Bridge (aka Ponte Scaligero) - medieval bridge with the world's largest arch (at the time it was built)
3:49 - Piazza Bra
4:01 - Arena di Verona (it opens late on Mondays - at 1:30pm, every other day is 8:30am-7:30pm)
4:22 - Via Mazzini
4:39 - Porta Borsari
5:01 - Arco dei Gavi
5:12 - Lunch at Baccha Bundus (fantastic piadinas)
5:24 - Piazza della Erbe
5:29 - Piazza della Ragione
5:32 - Torre dei Lamberti
5:40 (and 12:00) - Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House)
6:01 - Porta Leoni
6:10 - San Fermo (upper church)
6:51 - San Fermo (lower church)
7:28 - Casa di Romeo
7:36 - Sant'Anastasia
8:27 - Duomo di Verona (Verona Cathedral
9:10 - St. Elena
9:21 - The baptistry (St Giovanni in Fonte)
9:43 - Scaliger Tombs (Tombs of the della Scala family)
9:53 - Santa Maria Antica
10:02 and 10:38 - Ponte Pietra
10:41 - Piazzale Castel San Pietro (Best view in Verona)
10:54 - Dante's statue in Piazza dei Signori

15 Amazing Sights To See In Verona – One Of The Most Beautiful Cities In Italy
Visiting Verona came as something of a surprise – quite literally! We booked on a trip with srprs.me with no clue where we would be headed to till we got to the airport!
A scratch of a card and a few nail-bitingly anxious moments later, we found out we would be going to Verona.
Now, seeing as we’d only found out hours before our flight was due to leave, there wasn’t much planning involved prior to the trip.
Once we arrived in the city, I did some research and found that Verona is so much more than your average Italian city – this is a city steeped in centuries of amazing history (a fair bit of which dates back to thousands of years ago). This is not one of those cities you’ll run out of things to do in – oh no, this is one of those cities where your leg muscles are gonna get a serious workout from pounding the pavement hard and you’re gonna be left in awe and amazement at every turn.

Lazise, Lake Garda - Italy: Things to Do and Tourist Information
If you are planning to visit Lazise and Lake Garda, in Italy, here you’ll find the best tips on things to do in the city, with a sightseeing map on the most relevant points of interest to enjoy, so you can easily imagine and organize your trip: WHAT to see, HOW to plan your visit, and WHY to discover this place.
In this video:
- WHAT are the major attractions that you can't go home without having seen: Church of Saint Nicolò church, San Zeno Gate, San Nicolò Church, Scaligero castle.
- Then, I’ll describe to you HOW to follow a daily-tour to better visit the city, with a clear map of Lazise and tips for nearby attractions.
- Finally, we’ll discover WHY to visit Lazise, with his rich historic city center.
WHAT
Lazise, located on the eastern shore of Garda Lake, between Bardolino and Peschiera del Garda.
Its name derives from the Latin “lacus” which means lacustrine village. Lazise in fact was originally a group of stilt houses.
What to see in Lazise?
The medieval Church of Saint Nicolò has frescoes dating from the 12th century, by the school of Giotto.
In 1405, Lazise came under Venetian Republic rule, but the castle and the city walls were built before, by the Scaligeri of Verona.
After the Congress of Vienna (1815) it entered a period of Austrian rule, until in 1866, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy.
The 14th century La Pergolana villa, a kilometer north of Lazise, hosts a famous honey festival during the first weekend of October.
HOW
How could you visit Lazise?
I suggest you park just under the northern part of the walls. From here you can enter the narrow city’s streets, until San Zeno Gate, to move in Vittorio Emanuele square and then to San Nicolò Church. Finally, visit the Scaligero castle.
But then, I suggest to you:
- don’t miss the chance to walk north along the lake, to arrive in Cisano village and Bardolino city
- going south you could visit, by car, Peschiera del Garda or the crazy Gardaland park.
- in 25 mìnutes by car you can reach Sirmione and its thermal baths.
Finally, in half an hour by car you could arrive in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet
Don’t forget to watch my videos on Bardolino, Sirmione, Peschiera and Verona!
WHY
The city is a popular holiday destination in Southern Europe, thanks to its beautiful view of the Alps from the Garda Lake.
I love its Medieval walls and the way this city has a series of interconnected squares that house several open-air cafés, shops, gelaterie, where you can smoothly walk or take a break. I think Lazise is a relaxing place compared to other towns on the lake.

Places to see in ( Pistoia - Italy )
Places to see in ( Pistoia - Italy )
Pistoia is a city in Italy’s Tuscany region. Set around its central Piazza del Duomo are the Cathedral of San Zeno, which has a silver altar, and the octagonal Battistero di San Giovanni in Corte baptistery. Also on the square is the Palazzo dei Vescovi, an 11th-century palace housing a number of museums. On the nearby Piazza della Sala, the Pozzo del Leoncino is a well with a marble frame. Pretty Pistoia sits snugly at the foot of the Apennines. An easy day trip from Pisa, Lucca or Florence, it thoroughly deserved its 2017 status as European City of Culture. A town that has grown well beyond its medieval ramparts, its centro storico is well preserved and stands guardian to striking contemporary art.
Pistoia is a little-known delight. It lies in the tourist heart of Tuscany, a stone's throw from Florence, Lucca and Siena, but tends to get missed out by travellers. This isn't completely surprising. The town is less grand than Florence, less ancient than Siena and less complete than Lucca, and its name doesn't perhaps sound as pretty. Yet Pistoia is a gem. All the ingredients of an old Tuscan city are there - old walls, striped churches, frescoes, medieval watchtowers, arcaded piazzas - packed into a rather small centre.
Pistoia was a smallish Roman town, notable mainly for a nearby battle in which Cicero's great enemy the conspirator Catiline died an outcast and rebel. It flourished in the Middle Ages, getting itself recognised as a pilgrimage site for the cult of Saint James and establishing a form of republican self-government, like several other Tuscan cities. Later rule by Lucca and Florence seems to have done the place no lasting damage. Pistoia was well known for its crafts, and has some claim to the origin of pistol, originally meaning a small weapon. The city fared less well during the tumults of the 19th century and could be described as rather a backwater today, but something of the old colour still remains. There's a medieval-style palio called the Giostra dell'Orso (including processions and a horseback tournament between rival neighbourhoods) in the main piazza on 25th July, while several villages once under the aegis of Pistoia stage their own historical events on other dates in the summer.
Visiting Pistoia’s old town is like taking a journey back in time. In fact, Pistoia is a city with multiple amazing facets, thanks to its elegance and refined beauty. The evidence of the city's Roman origins appears immediately upon entry: an unexpected series of churches, cloisters, palaces and art treasures not only dating back to the ancient past, but to more recent times, as well. Amidst the narrow, Medieval streets and irregularly-shaped piazzas, prestigious palaces and small tower-houses, a surprising city emerges, bearing an innate an discrete charm, perfect for travelers who appreciate quality and slow-paced tourism.
Not far from Pistoia, one reaches Pescia, a town that has a lot to offer to those who passionate for art and nature. The city's origins are Medieval and belong to both banks of the river from which Pescia takes its name: on the right bank, the center's foundation is its characteristic, elongated Piazza, while on the left lies Pescia's religious hub. Among the sights to see, beginning with Porta Fiorentina, one arrives at the Cathedral, re-built at the end of the 17th Century. Just opposite is the Church of San Giuliano, and next to the Cathedral is the Seminary Cloister and the nearby Church of the Oratory of Sant'Antonio Abate, conserving the wooden sculpture The Ugly Saints that dates back to the 13th Century. Also here is the Gipsoteca Libero Andreotti Civic Museum with its plaster cast collection.
Waterways, and chestnut forests, mills and paper mills, remains of ancient walls and picturesque views open onto the valley, making for lovely visits and walks among history and nature: this is Svizzera Pesciatina, located to Pescia's north. It is also known as Valleriana; the former name honors Giovan Carlo Sismondi, historian and economist from Geneva that here found the valley landscapes and colors of the valleys so similar to those of his own Switzerland.
( Pistoia - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Pistoia . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Pistoia - Italy

4 Days In Verona, Italy // Things To See And Do.
For a city we hadn't even planned on visiting until we got surprised with it at the very last minute, Verona is very impressive.
When it comes to Italian city, especially for us coming from the UK, the likes of Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan and Naples seem at the top of our travel plans with Verona being slightly more overlooked but it certainly shouldn't be. (Though it does have the advantage of not having as many long queues for hours as you might find in Rome).
Verona is an amazing Italian city and one you'll find yourself wanting to return to over and over again. Huge thanks to srprs.me for surprising us with this perfect Italian city!
