“Two households both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene …”
The opening lines of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet designate the picturesque Italian village as the setting for one of history’s most romantic stories. Romance has continued into the 21st century as the riverside Italian town serves as the ideal backdrop for a honeymoon.
As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the northern Italian city is brimming with sights and cultural experiences. Start with a stroll along the Scaligero Bridge, which dates to 1356, before sharing gelato with your new spouse. Continue an afternoon walk through the Centro Storico, the historical center of the town complete with food markets, narrow alleyways, stunningly preserved 15th-century architecture and countless opportunities to stop for an afternoon espresso.
Couples seeking a bit more privacy will enjoy Cascate di Molina Park, a natural wonderland of waterfalls, hidden pathways and even a zip line for more adventurous duos.
Before sunset, embark on the grueling but worthwhile hike up to Piazzale Castel San Pietro for panoramic views of the city below. Share a romantic dinner for two and a bottle of Italian vino in Piazza Bra with nighttime views of the glowing Roman-style arena.
