Verona

An introduction

An introduction

Ever since the Romans first began to develop the city of Verona, it has been an important trading post on the route north through the Alps. Today, it still serves as a gateway for holidays to the Alps and Dolomites, and also to the Italian Lakes. Its Roman heritage can be seen in the street pattern and in the many fine Roman buildings. The city has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Following in the footsteps of heroes, warriors and artists, our detailed walking notes guide you through the city, where dusky pink limestone buildings line the banks of the River Adige. Given the city’s rich and colourful history, Verona has so much more to offer than the well-known story of star-crossed Romeo and Juliet and that balcony. Indeed, there is a wealth of sites to discover, not least several superbly preserved Roman monuments – the arena, Roman theatre, Porta dei Borsari and Pietra Bridge. Other highlights include the fascinating collection of paintings and artefacts housed in the Castelvecchio, the elaborate Gothic tombs of the Scaligeri family, and the magnificent Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, one of the most important Romanesque churches in northern Italy, decorated with 12th-century reliefs and frescoes.

Accommodation

We offer a choice of two hotels, both ideally located for exploring the city. Please state your preference when booking.

We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

Grand Hotel des Arts
Verona
Well located on the broad Corso Porta Nuova, the hotel is only a few minutes’ walk from the Roman Arena.

One of our best-ever Inntravel trips, though with hindsight and if travel arrangements had made the timings feasible we would have skipped the stay in Verona and gone straight to the first hotel, which was one of the best - and in one of the best locations - we have ever stayed in. This is a fantastic area for well- waymarked walking, with stunning scenery, attractive villages and towns, and good food.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers enjoyed our Verona City add-on before our Towards the Dolomites self-guided walking holiday.

At Casterotto, Hexenkeller was terrific for dinner. Get the gamberoni. Also in Castelrotto, the restaurant at Zum Turm-- the venison, the trout salad (a meal in itself) and the chamois (a special).

In Verona, Osteria Enoteca Alcova Del Frate or its big brother up the street. Splurge on a bottle of Amarone wine.

An Aperol Spritz-- at any bar!

INNTRAVEL NOTE: Mrs Reed combined our High Dolomites and Lake Ledro to Lake Garda walking holidays with stays in Verona and at the Berghotel Zirmerhof in Radein.

Our first non walking holiday with you [Italian Lakes Explorer combined with a stay in Verona] and we were not disappointed. The lakes all had quite a different feel to them. The hotels were well situated with friendly, helpful staff.
