Canon EOS 250D | 18mm | 1/200s | f/8 | ISO 100 Taken on 03/10/2020. With its wealth of Roman sites and streets of pink-hued medieval buildings, the irresistible city of Verona has more in the way of historic attractions than any other place in the Veneto except Venice itself. Unlike Venice, though, Verona is not a city overwhelmed by the tourist industry, important though that is to the local economy. It is the largest city of the mainland Veneto, and its economic success is largely due to its position at the crossing of the major routes from Germany and Austria to central Italy and from the west to Venice and Trieste. Set within the low amphitheatre that the wide River Adige has carved out of the hills, Verona conveys a sense of ease that you don't find in the region's other cities. As you walk past the great Roman arena, or along the embankments or over the bridges that span the broad curves of the River Adige, you'll be struck by the spaciousness of the city. With cars and buses barred from many of the squares and narrow medieval lanes of the historic centre, this is a city that invites dawdling. Affectionately called 'the City of Love', Verona knows how to ravish you with its picturesque views, lively squares and majestic palazzi. This is my second visit and I'm sure I'll be back to see it in another season. And speaking of seasons, this photo I took from the 84 metre-high Torre dei Lamberti is quite fitting for autumn with the red-coloured rooftops and the crisp view of the hilly countryside in the background. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Many high-speed trains stop at Verona, particularly on the Milano Centrale–Venezia and Roma Termini–Bergamo lines. However, if you want to save a bit of cash, take the Regional train instead from Milan, Venice or Bologna. ______________________________________ #Verona #IgersVerona #CittàdArte #Italia #Italy #VisitVeneto #Veneto_Cartoline_ #Veneto #NeverStopExploring #Piazza #Square #CityScape #LonelyPlanet #CondeNastTraveller #WorldTravelPics #Ig_Europe #City #RomeoAndJuliet #CityOfLove #RomanticGetaway #BestDestinations #Ig_Italia #YallersItalia #Raw_Italy #Italy_Illife #VolgoItalia #Ig_Veneto (at Verona, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5O1L6l-qn/?igshid=1ggcg8ded66rb
