Aka Verona the Beautiful!
If you like shades of pink, orange, yellow, and red: go to Verona! So colorful, so gorgeous!
Although I had been to Verona for a day in 2012, I didn’t remember it being so beautiful. I seriously enjoyed this trip to Verona so much more than I did last time! It probably helped that it was 50 something degrees with sunshine and blue skies after spending yesterday in a cold and snowy place, but I honestly could not have asked for better weather to explore such a lovely city. (Thank you God for answering my prayer that it would be a sunny day!)
I started out by going to the place made famous by Shakespeare: Juliet’s balcony and home. (P.S. I didn’t find Romeo...)
Then I made my way to Piazza delle Erbe, which was a picturesque square filled with cute shops, cafes with outdoor seating, and apartments with balconies with flower boxes on them. There were also many vendors set up in the middle of the area selling pasta, apparel, accessories, and souvenirs. So cute!
I was planning to go to the top of the Palazzo della Ragione (pictured above), but when I was there it wasn’t open for the day. So I decided to make my way up to Castel San Peitro for the view of the town instead. (Wow wow wow talk about a climb! So. Many. Stairs. Maybe next time I will rethink my shoe choice, but probably not..) But, the walk up was pretty and lined with colorful houses, and HOW STUNNING the views from the top were! I could have stayed up there all day.
I spent the rest of my day in Verona meandering around through the streets, window shopping, enjoying the weather, and admiring both the Ponte Pietra Bridge and the Arena di Verona!
