Verona, where Romeo and Juliet swore each other eternal love, is universally known as one of the most romantic towns in the world. It doesn’t surprise that every year Verona becomes an even more special place during the week leading to February 14th: Valentine’s day.

It is called “Verona in Love“ and it’s a week of special events dedicated to all lovers who want to spend a Romantic week end in Verona.

Streets in the city center are decorated with big lit up hearts and a huge red hearts is painted on the pavement of the central piazza dei Signori, one of the most elegant squares in Verona. It can be admired only from the top of Lamberti tower (XII Century), Verona highest building with its 84 meters, together with a breathtaking 360° view above the old town. But don’t worry there is an elevator taking you up to the 84m height of the tower.
Shop windows are also decorated with love related themes, contributing in creating a magic atmosphere.
Couples can access Juliet’s house and other monuments and museums in Verona paying only one ticket. Plays, concerts, dance and art events take place in the streets, squares, palaces and other wonderful locations in Verona.

At Juliet’s house, “Cara Giulietta” (Dear Juliet) prize is awarded to the most beautiful letter selected among all those addressed to Shakespeare’s heroine during the previous year. It is actually possible to write Juliet. Volunteers of Juliet’s Club answer to all letters addressed to Juliet from all over the world. Juliet’s Club became famous after Holliwood movie “Letters to Juliet”.
Many nice restaurants in Verona city center and in the province offer discounted and special menues for couples, where chocolate has often a special place.

Verona is the city of Love -
Verona is the city of Love - full of art, historical buildings and places to visit. While spending your holiday in one of our Tuscany Villas you could take a day off to visit this fabulous city less then 3 hours by car or train from Florence. The first thing to visit is, of course, the impressive majestic Arena. It is a really magic place. Here you will be amazed by the strength of this historical theater. If you are lucky enough be there when they do one of the impressive shows, it’s something that you should experience. I couldn’t believe that it was possible to hear the actors singing in such a large place without speakers! The scenery that they build inside the Arena is something that you could never imagine!

The Arena is situated in Piazza Bra.
This square is the a classic tourist square with many fast-food restaurants and gelateria (ice cream parlors), but they are not the best places to have a real Italian dinner. When I was there with my boyfriend, we visited all the most important buildings of Verona. After the Arena, we walked along the center, Via Mazzini, where all the shops and Cafes are; we had a delicious cappuccino with pastry in one of the bakeries on this road. You won’t need a car: you can reach all the interesting points by walking.
