Verona, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, incorporates artistic elements of the highest quality testifying over 2.000 years of Italian history. After a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from ‘Torricelle’, the hills that overlook Verona - a perfect point for some unforgettable pictures - you will have the opportunity to enjoy a walking tour of Verona taking in its many highlights such as Castelvecchio, the San Zeno Church (famous for having been the place of the marriage of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet), the Arche Scaligere (an elegant gothic mausoleum), the Shakespearian Home of Juliet and, of course, the Roman Amphitheatre known as the Arena, which is internationally famous for the large-scale Opera performances given there. It is one of the best preserved ancient structures of its kind even if built in AD 30 - when it hosted more than 30,000 spectators for the “Ludi” (shows and games).
Then you’ll have the choice discover an enchanting natural paradise such the Valpolicella wine district: hills covered with vines, olive and cherry trees, the perfect scenic back-roads to explore passing through enchanting villages, beautiful Venetian and Renaissance villas and Romanesque churches before arriving to a celebrated 1st level winery producing the most important and well known local wines. You will be able to taste some of the best Amarone, Recioto, Soave, Ripasso and Valpolicella wines together with a selection of local snacks to accompany them. These wineries are often derived from enchanting Villas owned by noble families of the region, surrounded by lush gardens and centuries-old parks which are a fiesta for the eyes (and not only for the palate...)
