Arena di Verona
The Arena di Verona is a Roman amphitheater from the 1st century AD.

Visitors can freely explore the impressive oval with its tiers and arches during the day. With the Verona Card, you can enter through a separate entrance (Gate 5) without long waiting times.
Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House)
The Casa di Giulietta is a medieval townhouse that became famous as Juliet's residence from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In the courtyard stands a bronze statue of Juliet, and the house has the legendary balcony - the setting of the famous balcony scene. Visitors can climb onto the balcony and feel the romantic atmosphere. With the Verona Card, the visit is free, but you must reserve a time slot online in advance.
Museo di Castelvecchio
Castelvecchio is a 14th-century castle built by the Scaliger dynasty. The crenellated Ponte Scaligero leads across the river, once the castle's escape route. Today Castelvecchio houses a museum with a collection of medieval and Renaissance art - from paintings and sculptures to historical weapons. You can wander through the castle courtyards and ramparts and enjoy the view of Verona and the Adige River from the battlements.
Torre dei Lamberti
The Torre dei Lamberti from the 12th century rises 84 meters above the old town.

The Verona Card includes admission to the tower (the elevator ride costs €1).
