"Verona " Gateway to Italy"" a Verona Travel Page by Luchonda

Sunset on the Basilica di S.Zeno - and i was just there - on time - telepathy or guided by an Italian lady?
The Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore ranks with the Amphitheatre as one of Verona's most important monuments and is considered as one of the great achievements of Romanesque architecture
Piazza S.Zeno with the Basilca itself, the campanile and the Belfry will take some hours of your attention in Verona.
Verona : its beauty is essentially two- folded.
First : the richness in natural beauty with the rivers, the hills, the nearby Lake Garda and the background of mountains.
Secondly : the great architecture of the city itself with its buildings and monuments and not to forget, the welcoming charm of the local people.
The origin of Verona is lost in the mists of time: it is not even known how the city came by its name. But today Verona is , next to it's industrial character, a highlight of cultural Italian history.
In a few words : Indeed a Gateway to Italy, a gateway to history

Cherish this beautiful part of northern Italy, enjoy the sympathy of the people, enrich yourself with the local historical monuments and cities, like Bergamo and Vincenza
Don't miss the local food - and especially taste the perfect wines.
Tip : A combination of grappa/Cherish will make your day, believe me.

Most famous place to enjoy musical culture in Europe.
