Attraction in Verona & Lake Garda

Verona's largest square, and the Roman arena stands on it — a first-century amphitheatre still in use, which in summer means opera performed to fifteen thousand people under the open sky. Cushion hire and a cheap stone step are part of the experience. By day the arena can be walked into; by night the square is where the city eats.

A medieval house with a balcony added in the twentieth century to satisfy visitors, in a courtyard whose walls are covered in graffiti and chewing gum. Included here because everyone asks and it is thirty seconds off the main street — but it is a photograph rather than a visit, and the paid interior adds little.
