Verona is a wonderful North-Eastern city in Italy. This city is near Venice, and it is mainly famous for its role in Italy’s history as well as for being the setting of the famous Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet.

Verona has much more to offer than Romeo and Juliet’s tragedy, however. It is home to many fine samples of Roman and medieval architecture. You’ll find the Roman road structure preserved in Verona. You can visit the Roman Arena which is especially beautiful in the evenings and has been witness to countless spectacular games. You can also go to the Roman theater which, thanks to a wealthy resident, has been restored and preserved.

Of churches, there are many in Verona. First in your itinerary should be the magnificent Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore where the remains of St. Zeno, the first bishop of the city, is interred. Then there is the Santa Maria Antica, home of the ruling Scaligeri family’s tombs.

For a more comfortable trip, get a car from a Verona Airport car hire company when you land. Better yet, you should reserve a car through an online car hire reservation facility before you even leave for Italy. If you do this, you will simply have to pick up your car hire at Verona Airport then off you go.
