10 Best Places to Go Shopping in Verona

Via Mazzini (or Via Giuseppe Mazzini) is Verona’s main shopping street. It links up the city’s 2 main squares, Piazza Erbe and Piazza Bra. It’s one of the most popular places for tourists who want to check out the many shops selling all the well known Italian fashion brands.

Via Mazzini is a narrow street with tall buildings on either side – great for escaping the sun during those hot summer months. And if you look down for a second, you’ll see the entire street is lined with marble. Spend an hour or 2 in the clothing boutiques, shoe stores and jewellers, and you’ll see why this street deserves its reputation as a shopping haven in Verona.

Piazza Erbe is a popular stop on Verona sightseeing tours, largely for its beautiful architecture, including Case dei Mazzanti, a terrace of houses painted with stunning medieval frescoes. But many people also visit the square to check out markets that take place from Mondays to Saturdays.

The markets are varied and tourist-friendly, whether you’re looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, souvenirs to remember your visit, or something to eat. And, as you take in the historic atmosphere of this impressive square, imagine how it would have looked back in the day as a Roman chariot racing circuit.

Corso Santa Anastasia is a prized shopping street in Verona, offering an upmarket experience where you can peruse high-end clothing, jewellery, and perfume. It’s also home to some of the best antique shops in the area. The prices might make you gasp, but for luxury shoppers, Corso Santa Anastasia is a dream come true.

Stretching between Piazza Erbe and Piazza Santa Anastasia, the street forms a part of northern Italy’s oldest Roman road, which ran all the way from Genoa to Trieste. These days, Corso Santa Anastasia is a pleasant place to shop in Verona. It still houses some of the city’s most attractive buildings along either side of its cobbled street.

Via Cappello is a relatively short street, but it’s full of excellet shops. With covered walkways at its southern end, the thoroughfare narrows as it heads north, before widening out again at Piazza Erbe. You’ll find plenty of souvenir shops, especially around Juliet’s House, the 13th-century building with a balcony that’s said to have inspired Shakespeare.

Take a look at the many clothing shops like Emporio Armani and trendy Camper or high street favourite, Mango. Pop by Intimissimi for some lingerie or Il Minotauro for used books. Finish your shopping with a visit to Elk Bakery to enjoy delicious coffee and cake.

If you have a spare couple of hours, you can’t beat ambling around the busy market and checking out the many ornaments on offer.
