The Property — B&b Piazza Bra
B&B Piazza Bra sits right on Verona's main square, with the Arena in full view from the front windows. It's a compact, no-fuss B&B in an old building: think high ceilings, tile floors, and a simple breakfast room. The USP is location—you step out the door into the thick of Verona's evening passagiata. Best for couples or solo travellers who want to be in the action, not for anyone seeking a resort spa or big hotel facilities.
Chronicles of Verona
Verona was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC, and the Arena—still standing and used for opera—dates from 30 AD. Under the Scaligeri family in the 13th and 14th centuries, the city grew into a Gothic stronghold, later enriched by Venetian Renaissance palazzos. Shakespeare set Romeo and Juliet here in the 1590s, though the 'Juliet's Balcony' is a 20th-century tourist construction. Today, Verona is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a quiet, prosperous city of about 260,000, known for wine, Roman ruins, and summer opera.

Top Attractions in Verona
💡 Go early morning around 8am when the fruit sellers set up—far quieter, better photos. The market closes by 1pm.
💡 The free-entry first Sunday is busy—arrive at 10am opening. Otherwise, they do a combo ticket with the cathedral for €8, better bang for your buck.
💡 Best at sunset; cross to the Teatro Romano side and climb the steps for a free view over the river and cathedral. It's only about 30 steps, proper viewpoint.
💡 Skip the courtyard charge by walking through the Scaliger Bridge and ducking into the castle garden entrance, free. Gallery ticket is €6, worth it only if you love medieval sculpture.
💡 Bring water; no café inside. Go weekday morning for emptiness. The maze is tiny but free with entry. If you're near the basilica, it's a 5-min walk uphill.
