Should I rent a car in Verona Airport with Zest Car Rental?
In short, yes! Verona is certainly historic, dating back to Roman times, and as a result there are many well-preserved Roman ruins dotted about the city. Start by exploring the Arena; a huge giant amphitheatre that can almost give Rome's a run for its money. It's actually the third largest in the world and is a fascinating setting to enjoy an opera performance. The Roman Theatre next to the river is also impressive, dating to 1AD.
Embrace being a tourist and visit all things associated with Romeo and Juliet including the likes of Casa di Giulietta, or rather, Juliet's House and the famous balcony. The courtyard beneath is filled with love notes from people all over the world.
Spend some time exploring the many museums and art galleries that litter street corners around the city. The Archaeological Museum should be of interest to most visitors with plenty to see from mosaics to bronze and much more. With many churches and cathedrals to visit too, the architecture will bowl you over. Admire the aptly named Verona Cathedral with its stunning interior, and the Basilica of St Zeno.
