As you move further into the heart of Verona, the atmosphere becomes increasingly romantic: the moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived! Relive the emotions and anguish of the greatest love story ever told: Shakespeare’s masterpiece, “Romeo and Juliet.” Discover why this city was chosen as the backdrop for the tragic events that descend upon these two lovers. Your guide will take you to the courtyard overlooked by the famous balcony at the home of the Capulets, on which Juliet stands to deliver her famous monologue that seals the young couple’s eternal love.

The last stop on this guided walking tour is in the wonderful Piazza delle Erbe, where you can admire the ancient monument of the Madonna Verona fountain, with its large basin containing thermal water, as well as other famous monuments such as the Lamberti Tower.
