Verona is a great destination for a romantic getaway. The city of lovers, Romeo and Juliet's home, still knows how to get young lovers excited today.
The classic tour includes a visit to the Capulet house-museum, with its balcony and golden statue. But the story of the two star-crossed Shakespearean lovers is not the only one told in Verona.
If you walk through Piazza delle Erbe, you'll find the Pozzo dell'Amore, a small and pretty spot that tells the story of Corrado di San Bonifazio. The young soldier fell for Isabella from the Donati family. Who didn't seem to reciprocate, but only pretended to. One day, she dared the young man: she asked him to jump into the well to see if the water was frozen. He complied and soon disappeared. So she threw herself into despair and followed her lover's tragic fate.
If you want to forget the tragic fate, take the Castel San Pietro funicular (funicolarediverona.it) up to Colle San Pietro. It's one of the most evocative and romantic panoramic points over the city. From the terrace, you can see the Adige flowing under the Scaligero bridge, the Arena, and the bell towers in the historic centre. And when the sun goes down, the city lights up at night.
Do you like learning about new cultures, traditions and flavors? Alta Badia might be perfect for you, then; located in a sunny valley surrounded by the majestic Dolomites! This South Tyrolean valley is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, both in summer and in winter.
Alta Badia is perfect for sports enthusiasts, with its renowned ski resorts and many possibilities for walks and bike rides, and also for those who want a peaceful oasis in nature to relax.
No matter which path you choose, you'll find yourself in some unforgettable landscapes.
Malcesine is a beautiful village - you can stroll through the medieval streets of the historic centre, full of pretty pastel-coloured houses and great views of the lake.
All the streets in the village lead to the marina, where you can sit in a cafe and watch the boats while enjoying the lake life.
The village has inspired illustrious personalities including Goethe, who stayed there when he was travelling in Italy.
The Scaliger castle, built between 1277 and 1387, dominates the town. It houses the Natural History Museum of Monte Baldo and Garda, and there is also a permanent exhibition dedicated to Goethe, with some of his drawings made during his stay on display.
