📋 The Bottom Line
Verona offers the romance of Romeo and Juliet in a more manageable package than Venice or Florence. The city center is compact and largely flat, though some streets have medieval cobblestones. The Arena is surprisingly accessible, and the riverside areas are pleasant for strolling. Italian family culture means warm welcomes everywhere. The main challenges are tourist crowds and some narrow medieval streets in the historic center.
