Verona in the moonlight guided walking tour

Overview

Cupid’s arrow has left its mark on Italy’s City of Love, Verona – and it’ll be even harder not to fall in love with the city at night. Follow your guide around the UNESCO-sited city to discover its monuments, squares and statues that cast a spell in the darkness. Angelo, one of our local guides, says, ‘Verona has a special and romantic quality at night – like a Shakespearean bedtime story. Monuments come to life in magical ways and rich historical heritage can be appreciated from a different perspective.’ The tour kicks off in the heart of Verona’s buzzing night scene at Piazza Erbe. Listen to the hum of local Italians socialising over aperitivo, a sacred ritual. Illuminations give life to frescoed facades with Verona’s tallest Tower Lamberti majestically shining from above. Continue through streetlamp-lit cobbled paths to the Lover’s Well – with a tragic love story to discover – and the Bosari Gate. Dramatic spotlights shine down from this Roman remnant that stands in harmony with the modern city. Follow your guide to the romantic red-brick Castelvecchio. Snap some photos of its reflection on the River Adige and walk along its turreted bridge to step back in time to Verona’s Scaliger era. The tour ends with a real showstopper. You’ll visit the 2,000-year-old ampitheatre at Piazza Bra – one of the best preserved ancient structures of its time – with its colossal arches lit up and life coming from the nearby restaurants. Even at night, the magic in Verona never ends.
