A very romantic and atmospheric place. It's better to come early to take a picture with "Juliet". It's very crowded during the day.

if you are in Verona for the first time, you will still get here, even if you did not plan to. Go in for 5 minutes, take a photo of one balcony and exit. Because this attraction does not deserve more
Juliet's House: myth, tourist pilgrimage, girlish breasts, pickpockets. The brick 5-storey old building is a symbol of the city, the most popular, visited and photographed place in Verona. You just have to be prepared for this, so that you will not be disappointed. And to the fact that this is a myth that has become a reality – not so much thanks to the genius of Shakespeare, but to the enterprising local authorities, who came up with the balcony itself, and the sculpture of Juliet, and the legend of the miraculous power of the girl's right breast, to which tourists of both sexes are recommended to fall, so that they are lucky in love (since there is no sculpture of Romeo, as well as pilgrimages to his house, it is a private property, where no outsiders are allowed to enter). Every local landmark has body parts polished by millions of touches. The statue of a girl in love has breasts, nothing vulgar or obscene. Just accept the rules of the game, without boredom and puritanism. Of course, the courtyard was full of tourists during our visit. And people came out to the famous balcony every now and then – visitors to the house museum, who paid 6 euros for the opportunity to walk through the rooms and be imprinted on the balcony. The guide Laura warned not to lose vigilance and keep an eye on the bags: pickpockets have plenty of space here. We learned that the coat of arms of the Capulet family, placed above the arch, is a hat (and the surname of the noble Veronese family Dal Capello translates as Hatters). We have never regretted that we found ourselves in such a romantic courtyard. And not at all for show, but to introduce you to the legendary love story that permeates the whole of Verona

Entrance fee is about 25 euros per person
The Italians themselves say that this place is not the home of Juliet,
There is no evidence of this
A cozy place, but, in my opinion, overrated. An ordinary courtyard, an ordinary statue, a crowd of people who touch this statue and make a wish. Nice, of course, but not 5 stars.
Juliet's house, according to legend, is the house where Juliet herself went out on the balcony for secret meetings with Romeo.
The most visited place in Verona. To go up to the balcony, you need to stand in a decent queue. This pleasure costs 6€. There are a lot of people, almost pandemonium!
All couples are photographed on the balcony. A sign - they will be together for the rest of their lives. There is a souvenir shop nearby. A beautiful place!
We know that everything is fake, but we visited all the museums of Verona for 1 euro on the first Sunday of the month. I was impressed by Juliet's bed from the Zefirelli movie.
