Verona is one of the most charming cities in northeast Italy , located within the Veneto region and relatively close (approximately 120 kilometers) to the largest lake in the country, Lake Garda. In addition, one of its main charms is that it is bathed by the Adige River, enlivening the walks through its streets and multiple bridges. The city of Romeo and Juliet , where they swore eternal love, is a perfect destination to spend a day or a weekend. In fact, one of the most special dates is Valentine's Day, although in reality the holiday runs from February 13 to 15, and may coincide with the Carnivals.
