Verona is an Italian city in Veneto in the northeast of Italy, the city is located on the Adige about 59 m above sea level at the outlet of the so-called Brenner line in the Po Valley. Since 2000, the old town of Verona has been a World Heritage Site.
Verona was a founding of the Räter and Euganeer tribes around 550 BC. It was conquered by the Gallic tribe of the Cenomans in the 3rd century BC and was a Roman colony from 89 BC onwards. The well-preserved amphitheater - the Arena - was built more than a century later.
Verona is more than just the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The city on the Etsch is rich in sights from the Middle Ages and Roman times. Particularly worth mentioning is the arena - the amphitheatre, where operas and concerts are regularly performed in the summer.
The historic old town of Verona was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. The city was founded in the 1st century BC. Built in the 1st century BC, the most famous building is the arena. How much does entry to the Arena Verona cost? The arena is open on Mondays from 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and from Tuesday to Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Brenner Pass - The temperatures of the "winter" season in Augsburg were slowly approaching and with it the end of this year's project tour along Roman roads north of the Alps, as we had just heard from the weather report that around 50 centimeters of fresh snow had fallen on the Brenner.
Lazise - From the Brenner Pass our route led down over the seemingly mighty Franzensfeste, which we noted down for a later visit, towards Bardolino on Lake Garda.
Sirmione - After an astonishingly quiet night in the parking lot in front of the main gate of the Lazise fortress, an extensive breakfast in the caravan, we started our first day tour south, always following the road along the lake shore.
Lake Garda - If a hike up into the mountains surrounding of Lake Garda is not enough for an adrenaline rush, you can also try the climbing system above the lake, provided that you have the appropriate equipment and can use it safely.
Lake Garda - In the 50s, one of the first travel destinations for Germans with the beginning of the so-called economic boom was Lake Garda, one of the northern Italian lakes, which is also the largest lake in Italy.
The Friedensweg, well-known and popular with backpackers, which stretches through the Dolomites to Lake Garda, ends on the northern shore of Lake Garda near the town of Riva.
