  Verona in Love

  10–18 feb · meestalGroot festivalDruk

  The city leans hard on its Shakespeare connection for the Valentine's weekend: a lit heart in Piazza dei Signori, markets, and queues at the Juliet balcony that are worse than in August. Bron ↗

  Easter and Pasquetta

  4–6 aprPasen & Goede WeekDrukSluitingen

  Easter Sunday and Easter Monday (Pasquetta) are public holidays, and Italians use the long weekend for short breaks and day trips: trains and hotels fill, old towns and sights are busier than the weeks around, and many shops and some restaurants close on Easter Sunday. Bron ↗

  Vinitaly

  5–20 apr · meestalEet- & drinkfestivalDrukBoek vroeg

  The largest wine fair in the world takes over the exhibition centre for four days in April and every hotel room within an hour of the city with it. Trade only inside; the whole town drinks outside. Bron ↗

  Spring bank-holiday bridges

  25 apr – 2 junNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Bron ↗

  Arena opera festival

  10 jun – 10 sep · meestalZomerseizoen opentBoek vroeg

  Opera in a Roman amphitheatre for three months, starting after nine so the stone has cooled. The unreserved steps cost a fraction of the stalls; take a cushion, because they are stone. Bron ↗

  Valpolicella harvest and drying

  5 sep – 30 nov · meestal

  The hills north of the city pick in September, then lay the best grapes out on racks to shrivel until winter for Amarone. The drying lofts are the thing worth asking to see.
