Follow Verona through a rich sequence of museums, gardens, churches, squares, castles, and bridges. You will see intimate details at Casa di Giulietta, broad city views from Castel San Pietro, and layers of history gathered around the Adige. Pause in Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori to feel the city’s public life, then continue through monumental gateways and across striking bridges. The walk ends with the grand scale of Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore, making this a rewarding way to experience Verona on foot.
