Casa di Giulietta is Verona’s best-known literary site, linked to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet though the true historical connection is indirect. The medieval building, once owned by the Dal Cappello family, probably inspired its identification with the Capulets due to a similar sounding name and the presence of a carved cap (cappello) on the façade. Today, the house is a carefully staged attraction, reworked in the 20th century to reflect both its medieval origins and the romantic legend it represents.
A visit is divided into two sections: the famous courtyard and the interior museum. In the courtyard, you can see the bronze statue of Juliet and the iconic balcony, which was actually constructed in the last century to fulfill visitors’ expectations. This outdoor space is freely accessible but often crowded, especially during peak seasons when people queue for the classic photo with Juliet or under the balcony.
Entry to the house itself is by timed, paid ticket (bookable via the Musei Verona system). Inside you will find furnished rooms, period-evoking decorations, costumes and memorabilia from film productions, along with interpretive exhibitions exploring the Romeo and Juliet myth and its cultural impact. Key attractions include the chance to step out onto Juliet’s balcony overlooking the courtyard. The interiors evoke a 14th–16th century domestic atmosphere, though most elements date from later refurbishments and are more theatrical than strictly historical.
Casa di Giulietta provides a valuable insight into how cities construct and stage literary heritage, blending authentic architecture with romantic imagination. Visits are relatively short (typically 30–45 minutes) and can easily be combined with a walking itinerary that includes other Verona highlights like Piazza delle Erbe and Castelvecchio. Due to high visitor numbers, booking ahead and visiting early or late in the day is recommended. Even for the free courtyard area, expect crowds and a lively, social media-driven atmosphere.
