Diana was extremely knowledgeable on all things Veronese. More Tran that she was fun!
Experience Verona beyond the usual tourist routes on a small-group walk created for curious travellers and those who enjoy discovering the authentic character of a place. This is not a traditional walking tour, but a story-led journey that invites you to experience Verona through its history, its people and the places that continue to shape its identity today.
As you wander through medieval alleyways, hidden courtyards and iconic squares such as Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori, you’ll discover how Roman, medieval and Austrian influences still shape the city’s architecture and everyday life. Each stop has been carefully selected to reveal a different chapter of Verona’s story, creating a narrative that naturally connects past and present.
Along the way, you’ll step inside traditional wine shops, osterias, historic cafés, pastry shops, food stores and artisan workshops. Brief encounters with the people who live and work in the historic centre offer genuine insight into family traditions, modern challenges and the dedication that keeps Verona’s local character alive.
This is not a food or wine tour, and no tastings are included. However, if you wish, you’re welcome to pause along the way for a coffee or a glass of local wine, supporting the independent businesses you encounter during the experience.
For those who would like to end the walk with a panoramic view, an optional extension to Castel San Pietro is available (approximately 30 additional minutes). From here, the rooftops of Verona and the gentle curve of the Adige River offer a new perspective on the city, providing one final way to understand its unique urban landscape.
Whether you choose this experience at the beginning of your stay to get your bearings and receive local recommendations, or towards the end of your visit to deepen your connection with the city, this walk invites you to experience Verona as a living place—shaped by stories, relationships and an identity that continues to evolve every day.
