To prevent graffiti (which is rampant and out of hand in all of Italy), they encourage you to leave a love note in the entry way to the courtyard of Juliet's house...
We visited the spot of the house of Juliet, and saw what was supposedly the original balcony. It was packed with tourists, speaking all languages.
Verona is a quiet town, because of little traffic and narrow streets, but it is full of tourists and history.
We took the train to Verona. After a few minutes, we noticed we were the only ones in the car. We stretched out and read and dozed as the countryside passed by. Soon it was like being in a bathroom with the hot water running and no windows opened. It only took us an hour or so to figure out the reason we were the only ones there... walking to another car, we found a much better cooler, yet crowded environment. We packed up our gear and moved seats!
