This title offers a pocket guide to the Veneto's biggest city, with more sights than anywhere except Venice itself, and far fewer tourists. Verona has the third largest Roman amphitheatre, important Romanesque churches, attractive piazzas and markets, palaces and a Renaissance tower, a world-class opera and one of Italy's most important wine fairs. It's also a useful base from which to explore Lake Garda, the Southern Dolomites, Padua, Mantua and Vicenza. This pocket-sized guide offers full coverage of the city sights area by area plus all the information on activities from people watching cafes to a run down of all the festivals along with information on the nearby cities of Mantua, Padua, Vincenza and Brescia, the "playgrounds" of Lake Garda and the southern Dolomites are also included. The guide also includes special features on opera in Verona and the Romeo and Juliet connection, suggestions on how to spend your time be it a few days or longer and informative listings featuring recommended hotels and restaurants in all price ranges plus all the latest on best bars and nightlife in general.
