Casa di Giulietta is a Tourist Trap
It’s been labeled a “must” for those traveling to Verona. I, on the other hand, consider it (paying to go inside Casa di Giulietta to see the balcony) a tourist trap.
Here’s why:
- Shakespeare’s Juliet did NOT really speak from this balcony.
- Even if there were 2 feuding families in Verona, no one has really proven the existence of their star-crossed children
- You do not need a “symbol” to encourage you to write love notes to the person you love. You can actually do it anytime, anywhere.
- Besides, those notes left outside look a lot like graffiti to me.
Anyway, unless you have a Verona Card, save your money (3Euros for general entry and 7euros for the whole tour) and just peek in from outside to see the famous “fake” balcony.
