Teatro Romano (Roman Theater) and the Museo Archeologico (Archaeoligical Museum) [ST]
The oldest extant Roman monument in Verona dates from the time of Augustus when the Arena was built and Verona was a strong Roman outpost at the crossroads of the Empire's ancient north/south, east/west highways. There is something almost surreal about attending an open-air performance of Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona or Romeo and Juliet here—even if you can't understand a word (see "Festivals & Markets," earlier in this section). Classical concerts and ballet and jazz performances are also given here, with evocative views of the city beyond. A small Archaeological Museum housed above in a lovely old monastery is included in the admission ticket. On Sundays, the promenade is open to the public.
Via Rigaste Redentore (over the Ponte Pietra bridge behind the Duomo, on the north banks of the river Adige). tel. 045-800-0360. Admission 2.60€ ($3); free 1st Sun of each month. Mon 1:30pm–6:45pm, Tues–Sun 8:30am–6:45pm; during theater season 9am–3pm. Bus 31, 32, 33, 73.
