 Two thousand years of history and a unique variety of environments distinguish the Veona province, an area that offers something for everyone.
Ancient history—from the Roman area to the barbarian invasions, from the Della Scala dominion to that of the Venetians and Austrians—can be found throughout the city and its province. Charming streets and piazzas, urban masterpieces themselves, frame Verona’s many evocative monuments.
Drawn by the Shakespearean drama that made local lovers Romeo & Juliet among the most famous of all tie, visitors gather each day in the courtyard of Juliet’s house. Verona’s roman Arena, another universally admired attraction, has hosted a hugely popular summer opera festival since 1913.
 Gorgeous vistas—from the mountains and hills to the plain, and from the shores of Lake Garda to those of the Adige River—can be enjoyed everywhere.. The two distinct regions of mountain and plain also define two worlds: one, famous since antiquity for its marbles and wines, the other, a highly developed agricultural sector characterized by lush fruit orchards and important transformation industries.
The historic and lively city of Verona is surrounded by areas of great interest: the Lessinia Mountains (home to the ancient Cimbri people), suited to yearround sports; Soave and its rolling hills, blanketed by vineyards; the Valpolicella, home to historic villas and exceptional red wines; the Veronese plain, with its castles and rural traditions; and a 50-kilometer stretch of Lake Garda known as the Riviera of the Olives.
