Small Group Tour in Verona from Abano T. and Montegrotto T.

About this tour

A guided walking tour departing from Abano Terme or Montegrotto Terme that explores Verona's medieval centre over 5–6 hours. You'll move through the city's layered history, starting at the Roman amphitheatre and threading past Renaissance palaces, Gothic tombs, and the landmarks tied to Shakespeare's tragedy. The route covers major piazzas, the riverside stone bridge, and includes an optional funicular ride up San Pietro hill for panoramic views. An agency guide leads the way; return transport is included.

Highlights

• Roman Arena dominating Piazza Bra's vast expanse
• Via Mazzini's boutiques and medieval arcades
• Juliet's House and its famous balcony
• Piazza delle Erbe's market-square energy and frescoed buildings
• Arche Scaligere: ornate Scaliger tombs in stone
• Ponte di Pietra's Roman and medieval arches
• San Pietro hill views (optional funicular)

What to expect

You'll walk at a steady pace through Verona's compact old town, stopping at key monuments while your guide unpacks their histories. Expect cobblestones, narrow lanes, and busy piazzas—the city breathes medieval and Renaissance atmosphere. The route is logical and flows naturally from one landmark to the next. If you opt for the funicular to San Pietro, you'll trade the crowds briefly for high vistas across terracotta roofs and the Adige river bend. Plan for several photo pauses; the architecture and light reward the camera. Wear comfortable shoes—this is proper walking, not sightseeing by minibus.
