Verona, Italy
Romeo and Juliet, Colosseum like buildings, cobbled streets, gorgeous Italians and flashy shops. It's easy to get caught up in the hype and touristy activity. We suggest that you get off the beaten track and explore the back streets, piazzas, churches and shops.
We happened to be passing through on a Saturday so found a great market in a piazza. After meeting some interesting people, we ate (pasta of course!) drank wine and soaked in the beauty that is Verona.
