About

Mittelalterliches Haus mit berühmtem Balkon, von dem angenommen wird, dass es die Inspiration für Shakespeares Romeo und Julia war. Im Innenhof befindet sich eine Bronzestatue von Julia.

Casa di Giulietta, also known as Juliet's House, stands on Via Cappello in Verona, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. It is a medieval house, and its best-known feature is the balcony that rises above the courtyard. The house is traditionally linked with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which is set in Verona, and it has become one of the city's most visited places.

What to expect

The visit centres on the courtyard. Here you will find a bronze statue of Juliet, and the balcony that many visitors come to see. The setting is small and compact, so it suits a short, focused stop rather than a long afternoon. Expect the courtyard to be busy at peak times, particularly during the day, when groups tend to gather.

Around the house

  • Via Cappello and the streets of the historic centre, which are good for walking between sights.
  • Verona's wider old town, with its medieval streets, squares and churches, all within easy reach on foot.
  • The Veneto region beyond the city, which makes Verona a convenient base for further trips.
