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.
