As you can see at the end of the video, we had time to spare. So if you want to go up the Torre dei Lamberti or go into the Arena, you can. Just make sure you watch your times, since ALL THE CHURCHES CLOSE AT 5pm, with a siesta break from 1-1:30.
You can easily see the entire city in one day. We started at the bottom (San Zeno and Castelvecchio) and zig-zagged our way up to the top, ending at the viewpoint (at Piazzale Castel San Pietro) for sunset. A little better planning would reduce the amount of walking we did (we covered more than 30,000 steps), but the town is so small that you can get across the entire thing in about 15 minutes.
Here is a list of everything we saw and the corresponding timestamps:
0:27 – Basilica San Zeno (where Romeo and Juliet got married)
3:01 – Castelvecchio
3:20 – Castelvecchio Bridge (aka Ponte Scaligero) – medieval bridge with the world’s largest arch (at the time it was built)

Is the main city centre far from the airport? Like is it walking distance? I’d be arriving way before my check in time and was curious if it’s easy to stroll around with my small luggage all day?
The sound of construction at Romeo and Juliet Church, sound like the 3 legs alien from movie "War of the world" hahaha
Basilica di San Zeno… beautiful but could use much restoration… for Romeo and Juliet's sake!!
Can you book daytrips to dolomites from verona?
Ciao stranieri!
2:50 Italians don’t have wide variaty of ready-to-eat tomato sauces in their stores, because they prefere to prepare/cook those by themselves (like most people from the Mediterranean). A notion almost incomprehensible to millenial Americans 🙂
Thanks for this beautiful video. I love other parts of Italy but never been in Verona itself. Next summer visit🍀
And I am going to visit Verona on Sunday this week…. so excited although its going to take 17 hours flight from Dili ❤
yes, Romeo and giuletta were real
Will be going to Verona next month. Should I pre-book tickets to enter sites/attractions eg. Juliet's house? It seems Verona is not as busy or crowded as Rome, just wondering if I can buy tickets on the spot without having to line up for long queues?
Good video. Could have been more detailed in the given time limit. Too much unsteady camera. Visit to shops was irrelevant..
Thank you, Brian! Planning an Italian trip, I find your videos very useful, informative and beautiful at the same time! Keep up the good job 🙂 and your wife is very cheerful and you're both look kind and cute in a good way 🙂 I'm feeling your positive and calm vibe ^^ Cheers from Russia!

Haha, I loved your comments on the activities surrounding the statue. We will be visiting soon. Thanks for the tips!!!
