Verona is a romantic and bright city, ideal to spend a holiday dedicated to art and culture. Monuments, churches and musuems are all at arms length and within a few minutes walking distance.
A city of ancient origins, Verona held much importance in the Roman Empire, during the medieval era and as a military stronghold in the Austrian Empire; all these historic periods have left a strong reminder in the form of monuments, churches, buildings and the tourist who looks around can recognise all of these eras.

As well as the famous Arena and the Roman Theatre , while walking through this splendid city you can admire and visit unique, evocative places such as Piazza Brà and Piazza delle Erbe, the Cathedral , Casa di Giulietta , Castelvecchio  and many other extremely interesting buildings.
 

Having dedicated some days to discovering the city, you can have the possibility of extending you stay in our hotel in Verona to explore the immense variety of surrounding areas: Lake Garda with its gracious and picturisque villages and la Valpolicella, famous for its fine wines such as Amarone and Recioto. The strategic position of Verona allows its use as a base for daily excursions (by train, bus or car) to extremely interesting cities, from an artistic point of view, such as Mantova (38 km), Vicenza (50 km), Padova (80 km) and Venice (100 km).
Verona's surrondings also offer many enjoyable occasions from the smallest to biggest: Gardaland park, the Zoo Safari and Caneva World. Not to be missed, Valeggio sul Mincio resort, the vast garden of Villa Sigurtà.

The Romans built the Amphitheatre outside Verona's first circle of city walls in the first part of the 1st century AD. It hosted games where gladiators would fight each other or wild animals before a vast public that came from all over the territory. The Arena held around 30,000 spectators and had four main entrances, corresponding to its two axes.

The facade, of which there is still a small section (the so-called "Ala" or "Wing"), was entirely built in large blocks of white and pink limestone from nearby Valpolicella. In the Middle Ages, stones from the Arena were taken for use on other buildings. Later, it resumed its role as a site for shows and events: a role it continues to play today for the annual summer opera season, which began in 1913.

Since the Renaissance, there have been numerous large restoration projects, leading to the gradual reintegration of the tiered seating inside. For some years, a large-scale project has been in progress to ensure the preservation and dignity of the Arena.
