On our last full day in Verona, one of the last attractions we visited was Giardino Giusti. Listed…read moreas one of the top attractions in Verona on TripAdvisor, it's not to be missed! 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.

The gardens are a beautiful spot for a photo and have a few resting spots. The gardens are also open to the public at no cost. The theater wasn't too costly to see and we were able to get a family rate and bought a pass to do multiple museums. The family pass was 14 euro! Totally worth it. You can view this spot in under an hour. If you chose to read all the history it might take a little longer. I wouldn't come to Vicenza and not see the Teatro! Bring your camera!!!

We took a stroll today through the centro and decided to stop here for lunch. We each tried something different and were pleasantly surprised by every choice. One thing I noticed is that the staff can get by in English. They put up with my attempt to use my weeks worth of Italian. I made a blunder here and there, but they were patient to figure out what I was trying to get at. This is already my second visit and I know I will be back. This is the perfect spot to bring family and friends to eat lunch and enjoy Vicenza.

Our first trip was back in June of 2000. We had such an amazing time that I said I'd love to come back and Bassano is the perfect place to come. We now live about 45 minutes away and have been here many times. I always come into their shop and have purchased pottery items on many occasions. The quality is excellent and the craftsmanship is beautiful. I love the spoon holders and they make wonderful gifts. They also sell gorgeous ornaments and seasonal pottery. Their Christmas set is beautiful. It's just a fun place to visit.

After entering and paying for your ticket, you start off at a museum. Here, you'll find videos, various ruins, information to read, and replicas of things like the Arena (which is also in town). After exploring several levels of the museum, the rest of the experience takes place outside. You'll walk to see the remains of the ancient Roman theater where Romans would come to be entertained. They sometimes hold events here which is pretty cool. We even came across some cats outside which is also pretty cool. For a nice dose of history, check out Teatro Romano.
