Detailed itinerary

1

Start your walk at the William Shakespeare Bust and Plaque on Corso Porta Nuova in Verona, and just open the app nearby to begin exploring how a man who never came here still became the city’s best paid imaginary resident.

2
Stop 2 Pass by

From outside the Verona Arena, admire the Roman amphitheater that swapped gladiators and big cats for tenors, lasers and people in linen queueing for Verdi.

3
Stop 3

At Porta Borsari, stand beneath the Roman gate that spent two millennia upgrading from tax checkpoint to photo filter for everyone walking into the old town.

4

In the courtyard of Casa di Giulietta, look up at the retrofitted balcony and bronze Juliet that prove Verona is perfectly willing to bend history if it helps sell heartbreak.

5
Stop 5

In Piazza delle Erbe, watch Roman forum, medieval market and tourist bazaar all overlap as statues, frescoes and fridge magnets compete for your attention.

6
Stop 6

Step into Piazza dei Signori, a stone lined power cluster where palaces, loggias and a brooding Dante statue once turned law and politics into carefully choreographed theatre.

7
Stop 7 Pass by

At the Arche Scaligere, peer through the railings at gothic tombs that let Verona’s former rulers keep towering over everyone even after the meetings were permanently adjourned.

8

Outside Casa di Romeo, study the fortified brick walls and battlements that quietly insist this was a house built for crossbow range, not balcony serenades.

9
Stop 9 Pass by

From the square in front of Sant’Anastasia, take in the striped Gothic bulk and unfinished facade that hint at a church where spiritual ambition always outran the construction budget.

10
Stop 10

Wrap up your tour on Ponte Pietra. Take a moment to trace the mix of Roman, medieval and postwar stones and enjoy the river view before ending your walk across Verona’s most stubborn survivor.
