Our handwritten guide on Backpacking Verona
Verona, Italy, is a city in the northeast of the country, the second-biggest municipality in the region Veneto after Venice. The picturesque Old Town, the cultural heritage, the rich history, and the location close to the picturesque Lake Garda make Verona a very popular destination for tourists. Thanks to the University of Verona, the city is also home for more than twenty thousand students, which boosts the nightlife in the historic centre that seems to be rather quiet otherwise.
There are only few classic hostels in Verona, Italy; some B&B accommodations with reasonable prices are available in the centre. Since the supply of cheap hostels in Verona, Italy, is very limited, they tend to get booked out quickly, especially in the summer season and for the Easter holidays. So plan your trip way in advance and book your Verona, Italy hostel early for the peak season.
If you are interested in history, art, and architecture, Verona is the right place for you. In the heart of the city you will find the famous and characteristic arena, which is used for plays and concerts nowadays. However, don't miss the other attractions in the centre, such as the different historic squares, the Roman bridge, and the area along the River Adige (including the surrounding hills with a stunning view on the Old Town). Juliet's house, related to the famous story of Romeo and Juliet, in the very centre of the city, is also very popular among visitors and heavily frequented, although neither the story nor the house has real historic background.
Once you are in Verona, you should definitely try out the local cuisine in one of the traditional osterias (simple or inexpensive Italian restaurants), including some delicious ice cream. Enjoying a spritz -- a wine-based refreshing cocktail that is very popular among the locals -- as one of the plenty options to sit outside at night is very recommendable as well during a warm summer night. In summer, the streets at night are full of life, locals, and tourists use the pleasant weather for a stroll, whereas in the winter months they are rather quiet compared to other bigger Italian university towns. Most of the bars, pubs, and clubs are either right in the Old Town or further east close to the university. This area with nightlife you can reach when you cross the river. Going out in Verona is really comfortable, since most premises are in walking distance.
