The historic city of Verona is famously said to have more Roman ruins than any other Italian city, beside Rome, but don’t let this fact blind you to everything else the city has to offer. Verona was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site not just because of the excellent condition of its Roman architecture but because it is also crammed with medieval buildings, Renaissance art and a raft of other cultural treasures too.

I’m a sucker for romance, and whenever I am asked about a romantic spot that has really stuck with me, my mind always wanders back to Verona, in Italy. Stunning architecture as the backdrop for candlelit dinners, glasses of fabulous wine enjoyed on balmy evenings, deliriously happy couples riding Vespas along the charming narrow streets, and delightful hotels nestled among some of the most beautiful cobbled streets in the world; you couldn’t really ask for more.
