His prices are extremely reasonable, and he has discounted package deals for either 5 or 10 lessons; offering individual lessons catered to either children or adults. There are both indoor and outdoor arenas. We've been a few times now and have enjoyed watching our daughter learn how to ride and become comfortable around the horses. On a side note, there are two great mouser cats that will often come up for a little bit of affection.

A great place to walk around or even just hang out for the afternoon or at night. We always used to meet up with friends here when we wanted to hang out but not necessarily go to a bar--you can even bring your own wine or beer to the park. I have many fond memories here and will always go back to the park when I return to visit Padova

There is an entry fee or you can get a discount (if you visit enough spots) by purchasing a Verona card ahead of time. Giardino Giusti is a nice botanical garden. Like other botanical gardens I've visited, it's really all about taking in the beauty of nature. This will include well-manicured trees, plants, and maybe some animals. Giusti has a lot to see including statues and picturesque views of the city. There's also a labyrinth. I'm personally not a fan of them but it's one of the activities you can enjoy. There's even a ballet school for kids that has classes inside. Talk about a picturesque location for some ballet lessons! They give you a nice map with your entrance fee. Either follow it or wander around to check out all of the sights.
