The best shopping in Verona isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Piazza delle Erbe and Castelvecchio and its bridge are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Giardino Giusti — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Verona is the city of Romeo and Juliet, but this elegant town on the Adige River offers far more than Shakespeare — a superbly preserved Roman arena, medieval piazzas, and some of the finest wine country in Italy.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Verona. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Piazza delle Erbe — Verona's oldest square built over the Roman forum, ringed by frescoed palazzi, the Lamberti Tower, and a daily fruit and souvenir market, Castelvecchio and its bridge — a 14th-century Scaliger fortress with a striking fortified bridge of red brick, now housing a renowned art museum redesigned by Carlo Scarpa, plus hidden gems like Giardino Giusti — a Renaissance terraced garden with cypress trees, grottoes, and a panoramic belvedere overlooking the city and Castel San Pietro — cross the Roman Ponte Pietra and climb the hill for the best free viewpoint in Verona, especially at sunset.
Use this page as a starting point for a Verona walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Verona. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Verona for romance and history, but every walking route ends up passing through Piazza delle Erbe and Castelvecchio and its bridge and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Giardino Giusti — it reflects what the people of Verona actually buy, make, and value.
If visiting during the opera season (June through August), book Arena tickets early and bring a cushion — the ancient stone seats are beautiful but hard.
April through June and September bring pleasant walking weather, while summer opera season in the Arena is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
