About
It's no wonder that this is one of the most historic and picturesque squares in Italy: in antiquity, it served as a Roman forum; today, it contains many historic buildings, sculptures with a popular and colorful market overflowing with fresh fruits and vegetables.

The most striking thing about visiting Verona, to me, was the very small sleepy town empty vibe, in the morning, contrasted to the overcrowded bustling vibe, in the afternoon. Piazza Erbe seems to be the center of all the activities, with all the main attractions emanating from here. This Piazza was the spot for the ancient roman forum and it’s a huge market style gathering place. I highly recommend stopping through here!

It is a small square but impressive. Lots of historic buildins and market stalls in the between. It has a nice atmosphere in the heart of Verona.

We loved this place which is the vibrant heart of the city. You can’t really miss it when visiting Verona and it’s a good place to start being in the middle of so many must see places

Interesting place to get some food and people watch.
Pleasant little piazza with plenty of shops, restaurants and market stalls to look around and within walking distance to everything.

Enjoyed visiting this square, quite small but a nice place for a drink and to stroll around the market stalls and it’s close to Juliet’s balcony

Not far from Juliet’s balcony, a good place to find food after visiting. Many stalls selling food & produce, as well as numerous restaurants. We bought delicious pizza slices from a deli and strawberries from one of the market stalls, and ate in the marketplace. There were many stalls selling tasteful souvenirs such as ceramic items, murano glass and summer clothing. The buildings and monuments in the square were beautiful and well worth photographing. The highlight of our trip to Verona!

This square in the heart of the old town of Verona is very little but quiet; the fact it’s surrounded by old palaces makes it even more charming.

Hi we are not sure as we took a train from Milan to Verona. It's best if you find parking across the Elbe river as it is only a short walk to the Piazza. hope this helps you.
how can I get there from verona station?

Si può prendere un autobus che dalla stazione va a Porta Borsari (via Diaz) e da lì procedere per corso Portoni Borsari e, proseguendo fino alla fine, si arriva in piazza.

As a public square it's always open. Because vacation, I expect more tourists and for this reason I believe bars and restaurants would be open. Probably museums but it's better to check on Verona website
