Tourist passport required.
Compared to Rome’s vastness, Verona feels refreshingly compact, making it easy to explore on foot within two days. Verona is quintessentially Italian—elegant, incredibly romantic, and brimming with opportunities for dining, shopping, and evening outings.
The city itself is a picture of beauty. Its charming yellow terracotta houses, reminiscent of Rome’s Trastevere, still feature fading murals that once earned Verona the nickname “the painted city.” Ivy drapes from balconies, lively piazzas invite you to linger, and tucked-away alleys hide the finest wine bars and traditional trattorias. Grand mansions and the impressive Roman arena further add to Verona’s captivating charm.
If you visit during the holiday season, the magic intensifies. Christmas lights add a delicate glow, and in Italy, even the decorations exude elegance. The shooting star that stretches over one side of the arena into Piazza Bra is stunning at night, but the lights on Via Giuseppe Mazzini are perhaps the most enchanting. Simple yet beautiful fairy lights line Verona’s most popular shopping street, casting a warm glow on the faces of passersby.
Few visitors know that Verona also hosts an impressive Christmas market and a unique nativity scene exhibition. The origins of the Saint Lucia market trace back centuries, and it is still celebrated in the days leading up to December 13th, in honor of the Sicilian saint. Stroll through colorful stalls offering handicrafts, games, and sweets.
At Piazza dei Signori, you can experience a traditional German Christmas Market styled after the famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt. Nearby, at Cortile Mercato Vecchio, an Italian Christmas Market awaits, while at the arena in Piazza Bra, an international nativity scene exhibition dazzles visitors with displays from around the world.
