I’m currently suffering from a huge flashback, as I was
scrolling through the pictures taken during my vacation in Verona, Italy,
almost two years ago!
I spent one week in this beautiful, picturesque city with
a friend of mine, and we had such a great time there enjoying ourselves and
life in the city.
As someone who totally adores Italy, I fell in love with
Verona very quickly when I first visited it six years ago.
Even
the great Charles Dickens once wrote:
„I had been half afraid to go to Verona, lest it should at all
put
me out of conceit with Romeo and Juliet. But, I was no sooner
come
into the old market-place, than the misgiving vanished. It is so
fanciful, quaint, and picturesque a place, formed by such an
extraordinary and rich variety of fantastic buildings, that
there
could be nothing better at the core of even this romantic town:
scene of one of the most romantic and beautiful of stories.“
And he still is totally right! Wandering through these petite
streets, always surrounded by buildings, one more beautiful than the other, all
of them in these characteristical, earthy, brown-red colours – already because
of this, it’s worth a visit!
And as a huge fan of one of the greatest love stories ever written, you should totally consider to stop by and staying at least two or three
days there! You won’t be disappointed, and if you are spending a night at the
famous Arena, watching a great opera such as Aida or Tosca (my favorite by
the way), you will never forget and always be coming back! I hope to do so this
summer J
