This is Verona in one square -medieval, charming, busy, interesting, historical, friendly, quaint - wonderful. You can wander around for hours, looking at the surrounding buildings, the fountain, the market stalls. Then sit and have a coffee at one of the many cafes and watch the world go by

After lunching two days at a favorite café on Piazza delle Erbe, and comparing this unforgettable setting with other known contenders (in Siena, Rome, Firenze) My wife and I confirmed it as Italy’s most perfect town square. With all of this we were tempted to award Verona as the most beautiful destination in all of Italy. Well, maybe, but there... More

Piazza delle Erbe with Torre dei Lamberti 84 m high tower, Venetian Saint Marco's Lion, Casa de Mercanti and baroque Palazzo Maffei is the very heart of Verona. Splendid view and hot cappuccino. Grazie mille Verona.

or at least there was in early May, the big squares in Verona all had market stalls with food, drink, clothes all available. Those stalls probably spoiled a bit of the feeling for the square and we may not have seen it at its best. There are the usual street cafe and bars, we sat in one for a while... More

One of the most beautiful squares that I have seen in Italy. Buildings still with frescoes on them, a stunning clocktower with great views from above, Great places to sit down and just relax, watch people and soak up the atmosphere. Allow yourself to spend a little more time on the square and you will uunderstand what I am talking... More

Enjoyable place to have a seat and enjoy a meal or something to drink. It is more calm than Piazza Bra, but still with a lot of people around. A very lively place.
