Sights of Verona
1. The arena is one of the largest amphitheatres founded by the Romans. The arena was built in the 1st century for the purpose of holding gladiator fights. It has an elliptical shape, this is done in order to accommodate a large number of people there and to create good acoustics. The theater could seat approximately 30,000 spectators. Unfortunately, due to the earthquake of 1117, the main outer part was destroyed, but everything inside was well preserved. In the 5th-6th century, the outer part of the ring was destroyed in order to build a second city wall, and during the Renaissance, the Arena was dismantled for the construction of new buildings. Now summer opera seasons are staged here.
2. Juliet's House and the Balcony are the main sights of the city and the symbol of Verona. Huge crowds of tourists always accumulate here. In fact, the house does not relate to Juliet in any way, although it is ancient (13th century). In 1936, a balcony was added and named "Juliet's House" to arouse the interest of tourists.

Maffei Palace - made in the Baroque style, decorated with magnificent statues of the gods of antiquity;
Lamberti Tower - was built in the 15th century. In Verona, this is the tallest tower - 84 meters. In 1295, two bells were installed on the tower: Marangana and Reno. The first was created to signal an alarm in case of fires, and the second was a signal in case of danger to the city and a call to take up arms. And in the 18th century, a clock was installed on Lamberti.

Book a car 6 weeks in advance
Verona is a popular holiday destination and the car rental service is in great demand here. Therefore, it is recommended to book a car in advance. When booking online, you know exactly which car, for what price and under what conditions you will get in Verona. The main advantage of early booking is the cost savings. The less time left before the start of the rental, the higher the cost of the rental becomes. The optimal period for booking in rental companies is 6 weeks before receiving the car. If you book early, two days before receiving the car, you can cancel the order without any penalties.
Which car to choose
Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Audi A1 or Ford Fiesta. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Fiat Tipo Estate in Verona will cost €34 per day.
What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car
Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.
The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.
Insurance advice
When you pick up your rental car, you need to take it seriously. This is especially true if you do not intend to purchase additional insurance. You should carefully inspect the received car and fix all scratches, dents, and other defects in the contract. It is also recommended to take a picture of the existing damage to the car, its number, write down the name of the rental company employee.

Theft Waiver (T.W.). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.
Fuel prepayment terms
For trips over long distances, it is better to choose the option with the already included payment for a full tank. If you have a short trip, then this service is inappropriate. Be sure to read the fuel policy before making a booking:
If necessary, use the special filter to select the most convenient option for you.

Getting a car at a rental office
You should show a voucher and personal documents. A manager draws up a lease agreement. The deposit is blocked on the card.
Before leaving the rental, turn on the ignition, find out the amount of fuel and compare it with what is written in the contract.
Inspect the car carefully. Point out to the manager any paint chips and scuffs. The employee must record the damage. Take a photo yourself: they should show the defect, the number of the car and the employee of the rental company. This will help to avoid problems when returning the car: it will prove that it was not you who torn the upholstery or scratched the fender.
