Meeting point is at Piazza Brà (the square with the Roman arena) under the equestrian statue of King Vittorio Emanuele.
Starting from the 2,000 year-old Arena, the Roman Amphitheatre built some 26 years before the Colosseum of Rome to host fights between gladiators and between men and beasts, you will move along Via Mazzini, the main shopping street of Verona, where the 19th century Loggia Arvedi is to be found and you will get to the famous Juliet's House, where the inside courtyard with the famous balcony and the statue can be seen. Then, passing through other internal courtyards you will see the Scavi Scaligeri, excavations of the Roman and Medieval city, partially visible through the glasses, and the Porta dei Bombardieri. You will then move to the Scala family Tombs and their first house in the nearby Piazza Dei Signori. There, you will notice also the 12th century City Hall, the Lamberti Tower, the 15th-century Loggia di Fra'Giocondo, the 14th century Palazzo del Tribunale. From there, you will move to Piazza Erbe, (the vegetable market), the ancient Roman Forum. There you will see the "Berlina", the place where criminals were exposed, the Fountain of Madonna Verona, (symbol of the city), the 14th century House of Merchants, the Guard Tower of the 'Gardello', the Baroque XVII century Palazzo Maffei and the frescoed Casa Mazzanti. Finally, you will reach the Well of Love with its sad story about two lovers. The tour will end in the nearby historical Winebar (Enoteca), to taste a couple of good local wines (one red and one white) together with some light snacks.
