A Romantic and Cultural Itinerary in the Heart of the City

Just a few minutes from Juliet’s House lies another evocative spot: Juliet’s Tomb. Housed in the former convent of San Francesco al Corso, now the Frescoes Museum "G.B. Cavalcaselle", it offers a melancholic and poetic atmosphere that touches deep emotions. Visiting this place means closing the circle of Shakespeare’s tragedy, rediscovering intimacy and silence far from the crowds.

Not far away, the Castelvecchio Museum tells the story of fortified medieval Verona. Set inside a grand Scaliger castle, its route spans centuries of art up to the 18th century: paintings, sculptures, weapons, and architecture that bring the city’s complex history to life.

Continuing toward the river, you’ll reach the Roman Theatre, built in the 1st century BC and still an active cultural venue today. It hosts prestigious events like the "Estate Teatrale Veronese". Next door, the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theatre reveals the treasures of ancient Roman Verona, in a continuous dialogue between stone and memory, with unique views of Ponte Pietra, one of the most scenic spots in the city.

Verona's Cathedral is also worth a visit: a monumental complex rich in history, sacred art, and layered architecture, telling the story of the city's spiritual and urban evolution from the Romanesque period onwards.

For contemporary art lovers, the Achille Forti Gallery of Modern Art, housed in the Palazzo della Ragione, presents a permanent collection and temporary exhibitions devoted to 20th-century and contemporary languages. It’s a vibrant and open space that reconstructs, through art, the visual history of Verona over the past two centuries, all within a highly evocative architectural setting.

And finally, a look at Verona’s present-day cultural scene: the recently restored Teatro Ristori is now an elegant venue for concerts, shows, and cultural events. A hidden gem where theatrical atmosphere meets architectural excellence.
