Verona

Verona, nestled in the Veneto region of Italy, is a treasure for photo travelers, boasting a blend of Roman history, medieval charm, and romantic settings. The city is famously known as the backdrop for Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet." Be sure to capture the evocative atmosphere at Juliet’s House (Casa di Giulietta), with its iconic balcony and bronze statue of Juliet. The Verona Arena, an ancient Roman amphitheater, offers a stunning setting for photographs, especially during opera performances when it's bathed in dramatic lighting. Wander the streets to photograph well-preserved Romanesque architecture, including the Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore, recognized for its striking façade and bronze doors. The Adige River, crossing the city, provides picturesque views, especially from the Ponte Pietra, Verona’s oldest bridge, offering panoramic vistas of the city and the surrounding hills, ideal for capturing the golden hour. Piazza delle Erbe, once a Roman forum, is now a vibrant square surrounded by historic buildings and lively markets, perfect for dynamic street photography. Don't miss the opportunity to climb the Torre dei Lamberti for breathtaking aerial shots of Verona's rooftops and the sprawling countryside beyond.
