Verona in Shakespeare’s eyes

“There is no world without Verona walls, But purgatory, torture, hell itself. Hence banished is banish’d from the world, And world’s exile is death.” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet act III, scene III).
Take an unforgettable tour with us and imagine yourself in 14th century Verona: from the houses of Montagues and Capulets to the tomb of Juliet and much more…the stage is set for the most famous love story of all times.

The tour will start in Piazza Bra’, exactly where the above written words are marked: the walls in front of us were the boundary of the city, and from here Romeo was banished to Mantua. Next stop: Porta Borsari where the duel between Romeo and Tybalt took place. We move on and reach Piazza Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, the medieval heart of Verona: you will be transported back to the 14th century, when this tragic love story took place. In the middle of the square the statue of Dante reminds us that the poet lived in Verona and mentioned for the first time Montagues and Capulets. Behind the graves of the Della Scala family we will also admire Romeo’ s house, but the highlight of the tour is the visit to Juliet’s house: on request and upon reservation, it’s possible to arrange a visit inside the courtyard and in the house, which will allow you to step out on to the famous balcony.

For a longer tour, it’s possible to add a visit to Juliet’s Tomb (within the Frescoes Museum), a former franciscan monastery where, as the legend has it, in a crypt, an empty marble coffin had contained the body of Juliet after her death. A place that was visited by famous personalities, such as Lord Byron and Charles Dickens.
