What Verona is actually like

Verona, the city of history and romance, and one of the tourists' favourite destinations in the Veneto region. Located in northern Italy and with roots dating back to Roman times, the city is home to well-preserved ancient structures like the famous Verona Arena, an amphitheatre that still hosts performances today. The city is also known as the setting for Shakespeare's famous masterpiece, "Romeo and Juliet." Economically, Verona benefits from industries and modern services. Part of the Veneto region, Verona's strategic location and excellent transport connections make it easily accessible for both business and leisure travellers.
