Shakespeare fans and lovers should find a visit to Juliet's House worthwhile, at least for a classic romantic photo or a shameless selfie in Verona. If you are interested in the historical-literary links, it's worth opting for a guided tour that covers the history of building formerly owned by the Capello family.

Per one customer who booked the Fascinating Verona: In the Footprints of Romeo and Juliet, "Having grown up reading Romeo and Juliet in school, my husband and I were excited to see the city that inspired Shakespeare. The tour did not disappoint. We learned amazing facts about Verona and were quickly escorted into Juliet's house, bypassing the long line. Our tour guide was very accommodating, flawlessly speaking two to three languages when bookings overlapped. Would highly recommend the experience to individuals visiting for a day. My husband and I are already planning our next trip to see more of Verona!"

Juliet’s House, located in Verona’s historic center, is thought to be the inspiration for the Capulet family home in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. (It was owned by the real Cappelletti family.) In reality, Shakespeare probably never visited Verona, but the romantic setting makes it easy to immerse yourself in the story of Romeo and Juliet anyway.

You can go for a guided tour of the Cappello family’s house; take in the entertaining and informative stories; pose for pictures with the gleaming bronze statue of Juliet; and enjoy the art, costumes, and frescos on display. You can stick a love note to the wall, go onto the famous balcony, and visit the small museum.

Yes, you can go onto Juliet’s Balcony, but you have to pay to enter the museum for entry. While the replica balcony wasn’t added until the 1930s, it remains a highlight for many visitors who come to live out their Romeo and Juliet fantasies.

Juliet’s House has an on-site gift shop, which is freely accessible. Here, you’ll find souvenirs such as Romeo and Juliet fridge magnets, bracelets, padlocks, pens, and heart-shaped coffee mugs. Notably though, Shakespeare’s play itself isn’t on sale.

Near Juliet’s House, you’ll also find a building known as Romeo’s House, which was home to the Montecchi family, thought to be inspiration for the Montagues. Shakespeare also set his play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, in the city—sites related to that work are trickier to track down, though.

A visit to Juliet’s House can be as quick as 10 minutes for a photo on an out-of-season weekday. If you visit in the busy summer months of July and August, plan around 1-2 hours to include purchasing Juliet’s House tickets, waiting in the courtyard for photos, visiting the house, and browsing the gift shop.
