Located midway between Venice and Milan in Northern Italy is the historic and picturesque city of Verona. Verona's claim to fame is as the setting for the greatest love story ever written - Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Verona impresses visitors with its Roman ruins, medieval charm, and cultural heritage. The city is cradled along the curves of the River Adige, which, coupled with the backdrop of the cypress-covered hills creates a visual treat.
