Verona is over two thousand years old and home to a wealth of culture spanning just that long. While famous for its still-standing Roman monuments and Arena, Verona, situated in northern Italy, maintains a small population of just 250,000, staying true to its old world routes while moonlighting as a lavish tourist destination. Verona is perhaps most famous as the setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and the true story of star crossed lovers that may have inspired the tale.
