NE, I've never been to Verona, but hope to one day. Here is what a Fodor's competitor lists as attractions:
- Arche Scaligeri (Scaligeri Tombs)
- Arena di Verona
- Basilica San Zeno Maggiore
- Basilica di Sant'Anastasia
- Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House)
- Museo Castelvecchio
- Piazza dei Signori (Piazza Dante)
- Piazza delle Erbe
- Teatro Romano (Roman Theater) and the Museo Archeologico (Archaeological Museum)
- The Duomo

Cheers, Linda

Verona is one of my favorite cities, but I am no expert. As mentioned, you can't miss the arena. There is a nice walking street right by it (maybe called Mazzini -- I am at work so don't have info handy) with great shops and people watching. You can combine this with the Scaligeri Tombs (interesting) and a stroll through the Piazze delle Erbe -- a great place to hang out in a cafe. Verona also has some really nice wine bars, featuring the great wines of the Veneto.

I would second annabelle2's remarks and add that my favorite wine/bar restaurant in Verona is Vino Antica Bottega del Vino (reservations probably required). Other must-sees? I admit I got a kick out of seeing Juliet's (supposed) balcony and the hundreds of notes stuck to the wall.

This may not be entirely relavant for your trip but there's an author, Tim Parks who's written several books about life in Verona. I think he's an American who married an Italian woman from Verona and settled there. The books are entertaining reads...maybe good for an airline flight?
