Its symbolic monument is the Arena, the amphitheatre with about 2000 years of history, still in use now for the popular "Opera Season".
It has housed concerts of popular music bands and singers like The Who, Kiss, Simply Red, Simple Minds, Pearl Jam, Muse, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Sting, Phil Collins.
It is impossible to mention all of the masterpieces of Verona, which can be discovered gradually, perhaps by losing oneself in the city's streets that sometimes become a labyrinth for even the most capable tourists.
Its frescoed palaces, castle (Castelvecchio), bridges, churches, and squares accompany the visitor in an amazing journey through history.
However one cannot go to Verona and not visit the
Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House), the romantic heroine of Shakespeare's tragedy.
This is the basis for which Verona has constructed its fame as the "city of love".
