One can enjoy a host of concerts and musical shows that take place here almost every single day. After Rome, Verona sits at number two for striking Roman ruins in Italy. From ancient castles to cathedrals, Verona seamlessly blends Venetian and Romanesque architecture into its structures. Castles like Rocca Scaligera and Castelvecchio built in the 12th and 14th centuries respectively are a must visit for history and architecture buff. These castles also have some of the most stunning views from the balconies and terraces that make the hikes seem worth it. In addition to these, cathedrals like Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore and Verona Cathedral are a stunning site to see with decorative tile work, beautiful stained- glass windows and Renaissance paintings. The former cathedral has a much wider appeal as it was the fictional place of the marriage of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, making it the second spot in the city to be associated with the fairy tale.
