About Access Verona

What this site is

Seventeen sights, one page each, and eleven sections on how the city works: arriving at Porta Nuova, a center closed to ordinary traffic, a Roman amphitheater that is an opera house every summer, and the few things worth booking before you come.

The thesis: Verona is a Roman city that never stopped being used. The forum is still a market, the amphitheater still fills, the bridge the Romans built still carries people across the Adige. This guide tries to show you where those layers are.

Verona the city — not the province

Note This is a guide to the CITY of Verona. Lake Garda, the Valpolicella hills and Soave are sometimes sold as "Verona"; here they appear as day trips, which is what they are.

Juliet's House appears as what it is: a medieval house the city tied to Shakespeare's story in the twentieth century. The play is fiction; the house, the balcony's history and the visitors are real.

How it is made

This site is written and maintained with the assistance of AI, edited and fact-checked before publication. That is stated on every page in the footer, not buried here.

Photographs come from Wikimedia Commons and are credited individually on the page each one appears on, with a link to the original file and its licence.

What it will not tell you

Note No admission price, opening time, fare or fine appears anywhere on this site. Those change, and the operator is the only source that is right on the day you travel.

It does not recommend individual restaurants, cafés, shops or hotels. A guide written at a desk cannot tell you which kitchen is good this season.
