Summary
While Rome commands attention with its imperial grandeur and Florence dazzles with its Medici legacy, Verona quietly offers something increasingly rare: a picturesque medieval quarter, well preserved Roman sites and dozens of beautiful churches blissfully light on tourists when travelling in the early part of the year. On the banks of the Adige River, the town is large enough to offer cultural sophistication, compact enough to explore on foot and is one of Italy’s most alluring cities. We explore its ancient heart and make excursions into the region beyond, an area which bears the accumulated weight of centuries—Roman theatres, Palladian villas and medieval communes that grew into maritime powers.
This tour is designed for those who want the expert guidance from an Andante Guide Lecturer, a carefully curated itinerary and easy access to the sites but with free time to explore, revisit sites and make your own discoveries.
