Verona is one of the most romantic places outside Rome. This is the city of love. This is the place of Romeo and Juliet. This is the place where two people loved each other endlessly, and it ended tragically. This city is the “pilgrimage of love.” Not only couples but people passionate about love come here every year. One of the most visited places is Juliet’s balcony, if you’re a Shakespeare fan, this is the stop for you.
Juliet’s House is a 13th-century structure, inside which there’s a museum housing a bronze statue of Juliet. Rubbing her right breast is considered a symbol of luck. Not sure if it really brings you luck, but walking those lanes is definitely a lovely experience.
