Italy Two Centre Holidays - Verona

Let fair Verona be your scene, and discover opera, art and excellent food along its cobbled streets. No Romeo could resist the romance of courtly squares graced with gothic cathedrals and Renaissance gardens, and fans of the bard will flock to Juliet’s balcony, the setting of the greatest love story ever told. Verona was a centre of art and commerce during the Roman Empire, which spawned the magnificent amphitheatre that lies almost untouched at the city’s core. With near perfect acoustics, Europe’s best-loved opera festival is staged here in the summer, an unforgettable experience as music echoes around the theatre’s ancient walls. Many of the stars of the show will be found refuelling in Verona’s excellent restaurants- framed compliments from luminaries such as Pavarotti decorates the very best. Despite its antique settings, the city oozes contemporary style –the local social scene thrives in the Piazza’s by day and clubs by night, and the centre’s daily market and street of boutiques are the perfect source for emulating Italian chic.
