This is centrally located with many restaurants to sit down to people watch and short walk to the arena. Best to check out all the menu's as prices varying greatly. More

There is the 1900 year old Roman arena with its original pink marble. There is a large open area where people can stroll. There's the view of the old 12th century walls... More

Piazza Bra encircles the Arena and is a picturesque place for walking, eating, meeting friends and listening to music during the Opera festival.

A nice area of town to stroll and chill out with the rest of the crowd. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to give a good choice of cuisine and cost. More

The Piazza Bra is where you will find the Arena of Verona. As a result, the piazza is busy, and the bars and restaurants a little expensive. We ate our last evening meal in one of these restaurants; while the food was good, I thought it a little overpriced, even for Verona. More

Dominated by the Arena Piazza Bra is quite unique, a small Piazza with a market on some days selling spit roased pig, all manor of strange cheeses, wine, bread etc. On one side the street cafes give it a nice atmosphere - lovely. More

During our trip to the area there was a sweets fair. This has created an unforgettable atmosphere - it was cold outside, but we were warming up with hot chocolate, wine and sweets. More
