    Piazza delle Erbe it's a gorgeous square in the heart of Verona surrounded by beautiful architecture and sculptures. Around this square you can see the Palazzo Maffei Casa Museo, the Colonna di San Marco, the Fontana Madonna Verona, the Torre dei Lamberti and the Arco della Costa. There was also a market with a wide variety of souvenirs and Venetian masks.

    Why is the street level gone? There is a comercial layer that spoils the place. Should be removed.

    Visited in early January, they had a Christmas market in which was good fun. Picked up chestnuts and mulled wine, purchased the usual tourist merch and marvelled at the buildings. Great spot at Christmas.

    This piazza located in the heart of the city and surrounded with great architecture from all sides. It has a unique market during daytime selling different items.

    The old buildings flanking the piazza is beautiful. Well preserved and blends quite well with the restaurants and cafes below. The center of the piazza is filled with pop up stores and it is incredibly crowded. Skirt the to the side and enjoy the views of the piazza from there. Beware of pickpockets.

    Un classico da visitare quando si è a Verona. Bella piazza, piena di negozi ed anche di gente. Di solito ci sono delle bancarelle di cibo, oggettistica e vestiti in esposizione ed diversi periodi dell'anno. Da qui si arriva al famoso balcone di Giulietta, davvero a 80/90 metri di distanza.

    Who doesn't love a medieval Piazza. It is chaotic and astir with activities, restaurants, bars, boutiques, clicky tourists....we passed through purely by coincidence, I am not a fan of overcrowded places, unfortunately my other half is - he likes to indulge in an Aperitivo nearby, under those iconic umbrellas to soak in the atmosphere and people watching.The Veronesi love their spritz, almost every bars outdoor seats were brimming with carefree tourists and locals. I took the opportunity to admire the old monuments surrounding the plaza, for example the cascading Fountain of Madonna smack bang in the middle of the hectic square, beautifully painted Mazzanti House, Torrei dei Lamberti, the majestic Palazzo Maffei with statues of Hercules, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Apollo, and Minerva, a whale rib bone dangling from Arco della Costa. A market here sells, vegetables, drinks and souvenirs - fancy a mask from Venice without going to the canal city itself? You will find one to your liking. I noticed that they shut down at 6PM. A few hours later, my other half is still sitting in the very same spot and had taken the liberty to order a BOTTLE of Prosecco.😂. Like it or not, I had stayed on till dusk at the oldest square but indeed a lively heart of Verona.

    The oldest city square in Verona. Back in Roman times it was a vital social, economic, and political centre. Today’s souvenir shops were predated by the small markets of fruits and vegetables giving the square its name. The fountain in the square centre is a statue of Madonna Verona. It represents a symbolic personification of the city itself.

    This is a very cool place to visit. Nice little shops all around with restaurants and vendors. It can get a little crowded as well. The pricing doesn't seem to be too bad either. So you can enjoy ice cream , fruit or a meal.

  • 5/5 andrew 8 months ago on Google • 221 reviews
    Very busy but great atmosphere, lots of bar and resturants to choose from. Great places to sit and relax whilst watching the hustle & bustle around you. Market nice if looking for momentoes.

  • 5/5 Natasha K. 4 months ago on Google • 217 reviews
    Very beautiful piazza with overpriced cafes on it. More beautiful when stands in the middle are closed , they sell some uninteresting touristic stuff and close the view and perspective. Beautiful anyway

  • 4/5 Imran Z. 4 months ago on Google • 140 reviews
    Its a square with lots of shops and eateries. Since, I went here in Dec, the square turns into a Christmas Market. It is very crowded. The old buildings are very nice. Reccomended to go during the shoulder season when the crowds are lesser.

    THE place to visit when in Verona, an old market square with beautiful houses with frescoes.

  • 5/5 Brogan H. 4 months ago on Google • 78 reviews

  • 5/5 Veneto Travel A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most beautiful places In Verona , magnificent architecture, so much history, ❤ Verona

  • 5/5 Vilma K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to walk, see the beauty around and take some pictures. Also during the day they have a market open in here, so you can buy some fresh fruits or a nice top! :D Verona has a public wi-fi and in this square it works extremely well. In piazza delle Erbe Italians showed their happiness about the successful football match. There was no big TV outside, but many people were sitting around the restaurants which had TV. I wouldn't recommend to go to the restaurants located in this square, just because you can get food at least a few euro cheaper in other streets nearby. Don't forget to add 2€ or 2,5€ as a service charge in every restaurant. I ate risotto in one of the restaurants in this square and it was OK, even if I had to wait long. However I could have it a bit cheaper and save for 2 cup of coffees. Not a big deal for some people, but others might consider walking a bit away from this square.

  • 5/5 Paul H. 2 years ago on Google
    The main square after the Roman theater is quite stunning in its architecture and is one of the main places to find a good restaurant or shops.

  • 5/5 Domenico D. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time I come to Verona I stay for hours in Piazza delle Erbe (the oldest in the city) because I consider this square a real charm .. and perhaps the truest corner of the city. A corner where palaces, towers, statues and architectural elements from various eras overlap creating a harmonious, unique and unrepeatable collage. Piazza delle Erbe is one of the most beautiful Italian squares in Italy I've ever seen! I have always loved the square for its continuous meeting point of people and cultures, and for its ability to generate authentic stories.

  • 5/5 M. 1 year ago on Google
    A great combination of historical buildings and nice restaurants with a central view of the center. We visited this place on sunday and there was a bazaar with huge variaty of souvenirs. Defintely you should stop for a while and enjoy the atmosphere in here.

  • 4/5 Manuela R. 8 months ago on Google
    Es ist ein wirklich wunderschöner Ort. Dort zu sitzen ,etwas zu essen und sich das Leben auf dem Platz anschauen . Schade ist nur das der Platz an einigen Stellen mit Verkaufsständen zugestellt ist. Das nimmt dem ganzen etwas Flair.

  • 5/5 Carol S. 10 months ago on Google
    Lots of interesting kiosks full of kitschy tourist souvenirs and some treasures. Great place to browse and people watch.

  • 4/5 Blaž U. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite squares in Verona + Good vibes ☝️ + Lots of restaurants, market shops and bars 🔝 - Unfortunately we had horrible experience in on of the restaurants ...

  • 5/5 Franziska K. 8 months ago on Google
    Wunderschöner Platz - leicht zu erreichen - viele Markt Stände mit so manchen Touri Tralala - Gastro links und rechts der Straße - man sollte es bei einem Besuch der Stadt gesehen haben.

  • 5/5 Ibrahim N. 1 year ago on Google
    Really, I felt good in this place. It is the city’s outlet and the main square overlooks the restaurants and the square has this beautiful fountain… Everything is beautiful in Verona. It is a city with an identity that you will not forget because it is difficult to visit cities with a unique identity.

  • 5/5 Sebastian R. 7 months ago on Google
    Sehr hübsche Piazza mit vielen touristischen Verkaufsständen. Eine der Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten von Verona. Einen noch schöneren Anblick erhält man am späten Abend, wenn die Verkaufsstände geschlossen sind.

  • 4/5 Nandita V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to shop/window shop. Just in front of the fountain you have stand up shops selling souvenirs, cheap summer dresses, caps and hats, cool handbags (some of them at really low prices), different varieties of pasta, etc. Plenty of places to eat but not all of them are authentic, might be worthwhile to check the reviews on Google. Do try amorino for icecreams, they are amazing. Washroom in KFC is free to use and was all right.

  • 5/5 Stephan R. 7 months ago on Google
    Ein mittelgroßer Platz, mit einem kleinen Markt. Sehr schön, alt und ein bisschen romantisch. Sowohl der große Turm als auch Julias Balkon sind nur zwei .inuten entfernt. Ich empfehle einen Besuch abends, da der Platz in der tiefstehenden Sonne eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre besitzt.

  • 5/5 Márcio 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful and charming, this medieval square is a must-do in Verona. There are many eateries, fruit and souvenir shops. We had an amazing time here, after some window shopping in Via Giuseppe Mazzini. The fountain dates from the XIV century, and the lion symbols the Venice Republic - which once was the ruler of Verona.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 6 months ago on Google
    The most famous square of Verona. It is beautiful, usually busy and filled with shops and a flee market with Venetian masks, souvenirs and local products. You can't miss this square when visiting Verona. The 360 view of this square is beautiful and it is a great place for taking photos. There are many places to eat or have a snack and coffee.

  • 4/5 Mario S. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice plaza in Verona, close to "Juliet's balcony". In the center you have a lot of shops selling street food and fruits as well as lots of souvenirs. There's several restaurants too. There's a bone from a whale hanging in one of the arches, according to the story it's been there several years, no one knows who put it up there but the people of Verona are superstitious about removing it.

  • 5/5 Philipp L. 11 months ago on Google
    The piazza Delle Erbe was a Place that we visited every day multiple times because it’s so well located. The bars are okay, but not amazing. Better go in some small streets for better and cheaper dishes!

  • 5/5 Fraulein B. 11 months ago on Google
    There was an open air market when we went here. It was a little bit full of people, and there are a lot of stalls from souvenirs, to clothes, to streets foods. It was enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Micaela C. 1 year ago on Google
    Really cute square with a mini market in the middle and a water fountain! Full of history and with a very vibrant energy, definitely recommend a stroll around the market if you are visiting Verona

    Piazza Erbe bisogna vederla, di giorno di notte, all'alba a mezzogiorno a mezzanotte al crepuscolo d'inverno d'state in primavera in autunno, vuota deserta o piena di vita, solo allora si potrà capire veramente la sua bellezza in tutte le sue sfaccettature. Come turista per caso come esperto d'arte o come cittadino di Verona che si meraviglia ogni volta della sua bellezza e unicità. sovrastata in altezza da uno dei simboli di Verona, la torre dei Lamberti, edificio che sovrasta il centro di Verona coi suoi oltre 80 metri e che determina col suo orologio il tempo dei veronesi
