Venice is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
In fact, it is really impossible not to fall in love with this city and myself, when I go there, I do not know which beaty see.
However, in its surroundings there are really beautiful cities that should be visited too

Verona
The first of these cities is very close. Verona is far from Venice just one hour by train. It is a city extremely interesting and inextricably linked to the story of Romeo and Juliet told by Shakespeare.

The ideal is to visit it by bike or on food: the historic center is pedestrianized.
