It is just an empty coffin in a small museum/gallery, so there is nothing much to see except if you are a major fan of Romeo and Juliet. It is rather far off from the other sites, so if you do not have a lot of time, you can afford to skip this one.

This place is slightly off the centre and not so easy to find. Took us 10 minutes of walking in circles. Inside are some frescos that were saved from houses and caves. An the main attraction is an empty coffin. Not much explanation. Just an empty coffin, no decoration, like was placed there as it is.
We had been to Juliet's balcony with our tour guide in May 2012. We then tried to find her tomb after that. It is quite a long distance to walk through Verona to get there. We got turned around leaving the street when we all parted ways with our guide. When we finally got to her tomb, we didn't have to much time so we took some photos of the door before the admission desk and gardens outside. Then we had to head back to our central meeting point.
Like most tourist sites in Verona this is worth a visit. If you get the Verona Card entrance is included. It is well laid out with lots of information.
Forget the balcony. This is the 'must-see' spot to evoke romantic thoughts about the folk-story of Romeo and Juliet.
Quiet, secluded and beautiful. A short walk from the center but worth it to get away from those blinded enough by love to pay to stand on a balcony.
Entrance also include an interesting museum.
We went to this because it was included with our entry ticket to the House of Giulietta, however, we nearly gave up when trying to find it. It's a good 15-20 mins walk from the centre and very poorly sign posted. When we eventually found a sign it still wasn't clear where to go and we had to ask locals. On our way back we did see where another sign was but it was hidden by a tree and restaurant sign! The fictitious 'tomb' was empty which was very strange, but the setting is pretty and museum hosts paintings and frescos with information about them. Most of the paintings are of a religious nature. I don't think this would be worth the entry price on it's own but as a joint ticket it was ok especially as ours were pensioner discounted. I don't think this is a very popular attraction, perhaps because of it's location as there were only about half a dozen of us there! For anyone who is interested, there is a very pretty garden which can be used for weddings.
