Traveler reviews
Two Foodies Travel Adventures
★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful Piazza della Erbe Verona in the sunshine. It’s a busy place with plenty happening. There was a market on Saturday adding to the atmosphere. Lovely shops and plenty of restaurants and eateries to soak up the Italian food culture. Highly recommended to visit when in Verona. Short walk from Cassa Guiletta.

★★★★★4 weeks agoJust like every other magical piazza in Italy, magical, not from our time and functions as a living photo, it comes from Juliet’s home, not too far from the Roman foundations and Dante’s plazas .. many clocks, fountains and old wall decor that is fighting time .. what is there to say more
