Luxury Hotel in Verona, Italy - 5 Star Due Torri Hotel Baglioni
Due Torri Hotel Baglioni is a luxury 5 star Hotel in Verona offering exclusive luxury accommodation in Verona, Italy
For many visitors their main reason for visiting Verona is to experience an opera or concert under open skies in the vast Arena and this certainly a rare pleasure and not to be missed. However, the city offers much more, even without the famous balcony reputed to be the scene of Romeo and Juliet's famous encounter.
The Roman legacy can be savoured at the much smaller Teatro Romano just across the river and the archaeological museum next door. As you walk around town you will see plenty of other remains such as the fine Arco dei Gavi and the Porta dei Borsari.
The old market square, the Piazza d'Erbe is the real centre of town and nearby is the Piazza di Signori lined with Scaglieri palaces forever under the contemplation of Dante's statue.
An Elegant Luxury Hotel in Verona
If you are lucky you might find that there is an exhibition going on in the Scavi Scaglieri vaults below the Cortile del Tribunale where art is regularly hung amidst the carefully revealed Roman structure of the city. There are many particularly fine religious buildings in the city especially the Romanesque church of San Zeno with its beautiful carved facade, the richly decorated church of Sant'Anastasia and, of course, the Duomo as well as many more important churches like San Fermo Maggiore.
The Castelvecchio just to the west of the town centre also houses an impressive art gallery within its spectacular walls and the surrounding area, including the defensive bridge next to the castle and the riverside, is a popular place to walk. A favourite place is the Giardino Giusti, one of Italy's finest gardens hidden away amongst the dusty facades on the east side of the river.
