We road a Frecca from Milan to Verona Porto Nuovo station, our apartment was near the big Porta Nuova 
city gate, just a short walk from the train station.  It was a very nice place with a large living room. We have not had livings rooms in the apartments we have stayed in till this one. Most just had uncomfortable chairs in the kitchen area. This place was large.  The first evening there we had great pizza, but the ladies said their pasta wasn’t up to snuff.  Kathy and I went back the next night for pizza. It was great again!  Note to sell, ask them to cut the pizza to make it easier to eat, otherwise they do not cut it, requiring you to find a knife somewhere.
The next morning we headed to the Arena, at what is now the center of the old town.  Looks a lot like a short version of the Colosseo, but was missing a lot of the 
external cladding as it had collapsed during a long ago earthquake.  From there we headed out to look for lunch as we weren’t wanting fish and chips.  We found this great little spot with a large outside patio covered by very big umbrellas. Kathy was not 
interested in the 4 P’s for lunch and got a nice looking salad. I ordered a Panini, one of the P’s.   Pretty good, when finished we were just a short walk to the Arch where the walking tour starts.
Had a great walking tour with a really good guide that explained all the history of the area.  This picture is of the gate where we met the guide.  Verona is cool town, but the Romeo and Gillette stuff is all a scam. As they were fictional. It was incredible to me that the gullible folks paid to stand in line to see the balcony.
Walked over to lunch, Kathy had the no PPPP lunch.
Wandered over to the 2 hour walking tour.  The guide was very good. We visited lots of landmarks including the Romeo and Gillette house. (all fictional) You will see the ruts in the roadway below the gate from carts and roman chariots.
Ended tour an walked to the bus stop to get back home, but a different bus appeared and we got on by mistake. Ended up a good distance from the apartment so we had a 15 minute walk instead of the 4 minute walk if we had waited a few more minutes more and took the bus that went right behind our apartment.  But because of that bus stopping far away we did get to stop and sit-down at an outdoor bar and spend some money on wine and bottled beer as our dogs were barking after walking a lot that day.
Took an Uber to the Verona train station as a nice treat to start the day for the trip to Venice as I knew getting around Venice with luggage would be 
challenging.
