Can you imagine what’s even better than a Restaurant with probably the best view in Verona? Exactly, when this particular Restaurant offers really, and I mean really delicious Food. That’s kind of a Jackpot, right? With no particular plan on what to do, I took the Funicular di Verona up to Castel San Pietro, to…

Out of the Top 3 sights to see in Verona, Casa di Giulietta is definitely among them.

La Conchiglia in Verona is a “fast pizza” restaurant just nearby the famous Arena di Verona. Located in the Citta Alta the restaurant for sure is targeted mainly on tourists, due to its convenient location. But it is also made by Pizza World Champion 2013, guaranteeing you more than just a good Pizza. I was…

Located in a narrow street just nearby the Arche Scaligere (Scaliger Tombs), not too far Casa di Giulietta you will find Casa di Romeo or Romeo’s House. Unlike Juliet’s House, Casa di Romeo is no huge tourist attraction. Granted, it seemed like there were three other tourists when I visited “his family’s home”, but nothing…

Verona, already a magnificent city from the ground, with the cobblestone paths, the structured house walls, but from a higher view the city even gets more stunning. You don’t need to have an upscale hotel with a rooftop terrace, or even an own hotel room view from the top floor, there are actually plenty of…

Verona, a remarkably charming city, both from the ground and especially as seen from the birds-eye perspective. Thanks to Verona Card and the overview of places I’m allowed to visit for free, I found out about Torre dei Lamberti. It’s basically a huge clock tower in the historic centre of the City, just nearby Piazza…

Visiting Arena di Verona is a must when visiting the romantic Italian city. Arena di Verona, the ancient amphitheatre from the first century AD is not without a reason the symbol of the city. Once used to entertain the masses (up to 30 000 !!), the Arena is still nowadays in use for both concerts…

During my recent trip to Verona, I definitely left part my of heart there – what a wonderful city! But even though sightseeing in a city is fun, especially in cultural-packed Verona, but sometimes, you just need a soft breeze of air and a lake in front of you. The sound of waves crashing and…

Reopened in June 2017, Funicolare di Verona is a now mandatory form of transportation for tourists in Verona. Originally opened in 1941, the funicolare di Verona was closed just three short years later. However the demand for an easy transportation up to Castel San Pietro was steady, and so just last year the Funicolare reopened…

Gnocchi di Verona is both a typical and traditional dish of the Veronese gastronomy. And as a Tourist, you simply cannot visit Verona without enjoying and eating at least one portion of Gnocchi. Gnocchi, more or less pronounced like njoki [ˈɲɔkːi], is actually a super easy to make yet filling yet delicious dish. However, until recently I always…

My favourite art museum in Verona, among the ones I’ve visited, is Galleria d’Arte Moderna Achille Forti. Situated inside stunning Palazzo della Ragione, the entrance to the first-floor entrance of Achille Forti Modern Art Gallery is located in the south-east corner of Piazza dei Signori and can be reached from Piazza Erbe passing under the…

When in Verona, you have to try and taste the local speciality Torta Russa di Verona. Every city or region has its own recipes, and that’s something truly wonderful. Torta Russa di Verona means “Russian cake from Verona”, and the origin of this recipe isn’t actually that old. One of the two hypothesis of the…

Right by the Adige river, or Etsch, you will find the ancient Teatro Romano Verona. Built sometime at the end of the first century before Christ, this Theatre is even older than the way more famous Arena di Verona, an amphitheatre. It’s actually not that easy to find Teatro Romano Verona, simply as it’s not…
