Shakespearean romance, brought to life

Verona’s most romantic rite of passage, complete with the famous balcony that stirs hearts and inspires daydreams.

A visit to Juliet’s House (Casa di Giulietta) is an essential stop in Verona, capturing the romance and charm of Shakespeare’s legendary love story. This 14th-century building, believed to have inspired the setting for Romeo and Juliet, features the iconic balcony where Juliet is said to have declared her love for Romeo.

Insider Insight

While the famed balcony is a popular photo op, the real magic is in the house itself. Explore the museum to see period furniture and costumes inspired by Shakespeare’s iconic play. Pro tip: Arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds and get a clear shot of the balcony. Don’t forget to leave a love note on the courtyard wall—it’s a charming tradition, but be prepared to use removable paper as permanent notes are no longer allowed. Bonus: Look for the bronze statue of Juliet. Touching her right breast is said to bring luck in love (if you’re feeling superstitious!).

Step into the legend—and maybe leave with a little love.
