Romeo and Juliet?

Author: admin

Hi everyone. I know that the real homes of Romeo and Juliet are in Verona, Italy. Does anyone know if the places have an offical website that has travel information on it. Like tours and the costs.

Or any information you might have on the real deals would be a great help.

Thank you all.

Peace.


Answer:
You can see the statue of Juliet and take photos outside the house for free. The entry fee is 3 euro. There's information at this site: http://www.seeitalia.com/verona/sightsee…

There's some information on Romeo's house here: http://www.travelitalia.com/en/guide/Ver… It's on the street behind the Scaliger tombs not far from the statue of Dante.

If you're going to see the houses, you should also see Juliet's tomb in another location. This is a very nice small museum. There's information here: http://www.cittadiverona.it/guide/monume… (|Italian) and in English here: http://www.travelitalia.com/en/guide/Ver… It's a popular site for weddings: http://www.italian-weddings.com/destinat…

There's a small relief of Shakespeare with a nice inscription on the wall as you're leaving the old town through the gate in Piazza Bra heading toward Porto Nuova.
