Verona, in the Veneto region of north-east Italy, is one of Italy's loveliest towns, famous for its summer opera season.<br />
This has been a thriving and successful town for most of its history, and today smart shops and cafes fill the attractive<br />
medieval lanes of the historic centre. Verona is a popular day-trip from Lake Garda and an appealing destination for<br />
weekend breaks or longer stays. There's a lot to see here, from Roman ruins to the so-called 'Juliet's balcony', and the<br />
town is also well-connected for exploring the surrounding area, including destinations like Lake Garda, Vicenza, &<br />
Venice.<br />
Verona was an important Roman town and is rich in archaeological sites, the grandest of which is the Roman Arena,<br />
where operas are now performed in the summer. Three of Shakespeare's plays are set in Verona: Romeo and<br />
Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and The Taming of the Shrew. The city has been awarded World Heritage<br />
Site status by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.<br />
Verona has a humid subtropical climate characteristic of Northern Italy's inland plains, with hot summers and cold,<br />
humid winters, even though Lake Garda's almost-Mediterranean climate has a partial influence on the city. The relative<br />
humidity is high throughout the year, especially in winter when it causes fog, mainly from dusk until late morning,<br />
although the phenomenon has become increasingly less frequent in recent years.<br />
