In my opinion, making an excursion in Italy and visiting such cities like Rome or Venice, it is impossible to bypass the side of an equally famous, thanks to Peru the Great Shakespeare, the city of Coim is Verona. It is after acquaintance with the tragedy of William Shakespeare about Unhappy Love Romeo and Juliet, many people have a desire to visit this city. Thousands of lovers from different countries of the world come to Verona every year to visit the house with a small balcony, (Casa Di Giulietta) where Juliet lived by legend,
In the courtyard to touch the success of her bronze sculpture and leave her love message on a piece of leaf, attaching it to the wall with the help of chewing. You can visit this courtyard and the house on any day since this museum works without days off from 8.30 am to 19.30 pm, the only day Monday, when the discovery is not in the morning and from lunch 14.00 and also until 19.30. In the courtyard, the entrance is free, and the Juliet mansion excursion for children is one euro, adults are four euros, and three euros students and students. This historic house is located almost in the center of the city on Capello Street 23. The street name is directly related to the genus Capello, which became the prototype of the kind of heroine of the story of Juliet Kapulenti. To read the excursion more complete, you need to visit the place where there is a sarcophag of red marble in which Juliet was buried (Tomba di Giulietta).
Although there is no evidence that this is exactly the sarcophagus, and the representatives of the Church even officially refute this fact, the interest of tourists to it did not decrease. Replacing several places of their stay, he eventually found himself in one of the church premises reminiscent of the crypt according to the description similar to the one wrote Shakespeare. The entrance to the building of the tombs with sarcophagus Juliet is open daily from 8.30 am to 18.30 pm, on Monday, a schedule of work again from 14.00 lunch until 17.30 pm.

House where Romeo lived (Casa di Romeo),
Also preserved, but at the moment it is in private property, and in which the Osteria Dal Duca restaurant has been working. By the way, both homes and Romeo and Juliet were built in the 14th century.
Another attraction of Verona is Arena Di Verona Amphitheater, which was built almost two thousand years ago and from the amphitheators preserved on the territory of Italy, according to its size ranks third. Its 44 is glad for viewers are made of marble and can accommodate more than 30,000 people.
Currently, numerous concerts and performances of opera perforists are held on this arena, as well as theatrical productions. The cost of such concerts varies from 15 to 200 euros.

The amphitheater is located at Via Dietro Anfiteatro, 6B, Piazza Brà.
A not less interesting object for visiting is the Church of San Zeno Maggiore (Basilica Di San Zeno Maggiore),
Which in the fifth century was built on the site of the burial of St. Senon. For five centuries, the church was destroyed twice, and from the tenth century, it would be completed and expanding began to acquire the appearance in which it remains before us. Architecture and interior decoration with their frescoes and statues is striking with its beauty.

The time of visiting basilica from 8.30 am to 18.00 in the evening. The cost of entry for children is 2.5 euros and for adults 5 euros. There is a church at Piazza San Zeno (Saint Zenon Square).
And similar churches in Verona, built from the seventh century, more than a dozen, and each of them is of great interest.
In addition to churches, there are several museums and galleries in Verona, in which the exhibits of both modern and ancient art are collected. One of these is the Museo Civico di Castelvecchio (Castelvecio City Museum), located on the territory of the medieval castle.
In his 26 halls, a large number of exhibits of medieval sculptures and painting was exhibited. You can visit the exposition every day from 8.30 to 19.30.

The castle with the city is connected by the scaliger bridge, which was built in the 14th century and was at that time the only approach to the castle.
An equally beautiful medieval bridge of Verona can be called the Pietra Bridge. During World War II, the bridge suffered a lot from bombing, but then all parts of the bridge were collected and restored in its original form. The restored portion of the bridge is visible by the distinctive color.
Next to the bridge there is another antique structure, which refers to the first century of our era. These are the ruins of Teatro Romano (Roman theater), whose fragments are perfectly preserved, although in the Middle Ages this place was actively built up.
Now the territory of the theater is used as a museum.
In addition, you can go to the Muffa Museum-Lapidarium, which was discovered in the 18th century and contains exhibits found during excavations in the Verona area. Walking along the street of Port Borsary, who was the main street of the Roman era and on which its traces in the form of various fragments of marble columns and bas-reliefs among more modern buildings.
