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.

- 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.
Good to know
Bring water; cafés dot the route but lunch isn't included. The tour suits all fitness levels, though steep church steps and uneven stone paths are unavoidable. Strollers and infant seats are available. Peak summer heat can be intense in the piazzas. Service animals welcome.
