Verona
Mention the word Verona and most people think of opera, but it is also a fascinating city to visit on a short break and a great base from which to explore nearby Lake garda for a pleasant two-centre holiday. The town's churches and museums contain great works of art, and the narrow, winding streets leading from the main squares are lined with smart shops and historic buildings.
