Fly to Verona, meet your Tour Manager and transfer to your four-star hotel not far from Verona station. Settle in to your room, perhaps head to the hotel bar for a drink and to plan your first trip out into this glorious city. Why not head to the Piazza Bra where you'll find a host of open-air restaurants and trattorias ready to offer you a wonderful evening meal.

Start your day with a leisurely breakfast, then head out into Verona for a guided walking tour. Discover ancient streets lined with pink marble buildings and the mysterious maze of brooding alleyways and hidden gardens that were the historic backdrop for Shaespeare's tragic tale of "Juliet and her Romeo". See the best preserved Roman amphitheatre in Italy (world famous for its summertime opera festival) and join the colourful bustle of daily life at the daily market on Piazza delle Erbe.After your tour you'll be free to enjoy a long lunch, visit one of the city’s fine museums and churches, take a stroll on the bank of the River Adige or wander the elegant pathways through the Giardini Giusti, north of the river. Music lovers will find concerts and recitals taking place almost every night - head to the tourist office to find out what's on and when - and wherever you go you'll find wine bars where you can sample a glass or two of locally produced wine.
