Verona is a mecca for art lovers with museums and art galleries displaying some of the world's finest art works. The Museo Pinocateca Canonicale on the Piazza Duomo, where Verona's Cathedral is located, is one of the best places to start an art history tour of Northern Italy. It boasts a great collection of 15th and 16th century art works as well as some local works from 13th century Verona artists.

Next on the list is the Civico Museo d'Arte di Castelvecchio, which is housed in Verona's medieval Scala Castle in the old city center. It is particularly famous for some fine sculptures that date back to the 14th and 15th century as well as housing many fine medieval paintings.

Stunning beauty of a different kind – but the type that inspired many of the artists whose work is exhibited in Verona – can be found in Lessinia, a short drive from Verona. The Regional Nature Reserve boasts pastureland and fine woods as well as various picturesque towns and villages like Bosco Chiesanuova, Grezzana, Selva di Progno and Erbezzo. The area consists mainly of alpine foothills and verdant valleys close to Verona. In summer the area is perfect for hill walking, climbing, off-road cycling and bird-watching, in winter the upper Lessinia Pre-Alps offer ski slopes at Malga San Giorgio at Bosco Chiesaniova at peaks of 1,390 to 1,755 meters above sea level.

The valleys of Fumane of Marano and Negrar form the famous wine-growing region of Valpolicella Valley, perfect for wine tours and wine tastings. Birdwatchers will have a wonderful time. The Lessinia nature reserve is home to golden eagles, snow buntings, dippers, black storks and grey herons.
