Romeo and Juliet Wall

Having watched the play Romeo and Juliet the day before we decided that visiting Juliet's wall seemed like the only way to spend our last day in Verona. We ate at Osteria del Bugiardo for lunch. It had lots of desserts and was the best thing to eat before a long day at the Romeo and Juliet wall. Our hotel was named Best Western Hotel Firenze. It had a 4 out of 5 star rating and we loved the rooms there. they were spacious and they gave a great view of the city! One of the most visited sites of the city of Verona the 14th-century house is claimed to be the house of the Capulet's'. Featuring the infamous balcony where Juliet and Romeo professed their love for each other in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The wall featured the balcony along with a few thousand letters addressed to Juliet. These letters had been arriving in Verona since the 1930s and are read and replied to by locals who volunteer as a part of the Club di Giulietta, Juliet Club, which is financed by Verona. We toured the empty interior of the Capulet's house and had a quick lunch in the courtyard. After lunch we headed back to the hotel to do some packing, and get ready for our next stop, Venice. Gladly we made it to the train station on time, Shaily couldn't find one of her shoes, so we almost didn't make our 6:20 train ride!
