Verona, Italy

Verona, which has 258,031 residents, is a city in the Veneto region of Italy. Due to its rich artistic history, numerous annual fairs and performances, the opera season in the Arena, a historic Roman amphitheater, and other attractions, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in northern Italy.

One of the northern Italian cities with the most abundant Roman ruins is Verona. The third-largest remaining Roman amphitheatre, the amphitheater, or Arena, is the most notable of all and is currently used for opera. The Roman theater (with an associated archaeological museum) and two gateways are also from the first century CE. The Arco dei Gavi was built in the first century BCE and rebuilt in 1932. Because of its urban design and architecture, UNESCO named the city a World Heritage Site in November 2000.

Romeo and Juliet supposedly lived out their tragic love story in this charming medieval city. Obviously, it never happened. Someone invented it. However, there are probably not many more romantic locations than Verona's "Juliet's Balcony" to propose. You can ask a question below in the courtyard or surprise your partner up high (in which case, be prepared for multiple responses). Get there early to avoid crowds.
