How to reach Verona, the romantic city in Veneto? Let's find out together.
Verona is a city known throughout the world for being the setting for one of William Shakespeare's most moving and beloved tragedies, Romeo and Juliet. Indeed, great attraction for tourists to the beautiful town holds the legendary Juliet's balcony, where lovers can leave a note or phrase that is worth to them as a good luck charm for their romance.
This is a most tender practice, which is also somewhat reminiscent of the Japanese custom of writing one's wishes on strips of paper to be hung on bamboo branches during the summer festival of Tanabata, or Feast of Stars in Love.
Let us also not forget that the entire historic center of Verona has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its unique architecture and romantic and wonderful spots overlooking the Adige River.
