Verona is one of the most beautyfull and fascinating cities in Italy, a city of contrasts and historical puzzles. It is indeed a modern city of commerce, and yet the splendor of its historical monuments and romantic atmosphere are what have enchanted travellers from all over the world. They come to experience the cultural offerings, the great variety of fine art, music, and the artistic performances. After walking the streets so rich in layered history, against a backdrop of natural and architectural beauty, they return again and again. The Roman ruins, the many great churches, palaces, and ancient fortifications are a testament to the city's prominence throughout long centuries of European history. Verona's own inhabitants, the Veronesi, are equally charmed by their city, its cuisine, the fine wines and the year-long calendar of festivals and events of every sort, all of which constitute a modern Italian culture which is vibrantly alive.

The northern Italian city, Verona is nestled against the foothills of the Dolomite alps, a scant hour away, and lies embraced within the distinctive doubled bends of the Adige River. In its central location on the route between Venice and Milan, this mid-sized city is also at the crossroads of the Veneto region, almost equidistant from the surrounding cities of Venice, Padua, Vicenza, Mantua, Brescia and Treviso, with Trento not far to the north, Milano to the west, and Bologna to the south. Existing thus at the physical center of much of Euro-Italian history, Verona has evolved into a travel center between Italy and all of northern Europe as well as a destination all its own.
