A touristy 30 minute stop in Verona, Casa Di Giulietta is said to have inspired Shakespeare's tragic romance. Free to enter and see the balcony plus a bronze statue of Juliet the home itself is well-preserved but fairly unremarkable. Expect the typical touristy shops and restaurants nearby, plus friendly staff.
This is one of more touristy attractions, so pack on some extra patience. Courtyard is by itself somewhat hard to enter, due to big crowds, so keep your belongings close and make sure you're ok with people occasionally bumping into you, or just standing in the middle of the tight passageway with out urgency to move in either direction. Everyone was taking selfies and taking pictures while rubbing the bronze statue of Juliet. We didn't visit the house itself, but we visited cute souvenir shop in the same courtyard. The prices were really high, but when in Verona..
No visit to Verona is complete without a visit to Juliets house. Once you get there, go immediately to the line for the balcony. That's the main place where you want to take a picture. Also, I highly recommend booking tickets in advance because the line was so long! We were lucky to find a QR code sign, and book tickets through that and we got in right away. Thank God for phones! People take pictures of the statue outside, holding her boob for good luck, apparently, but I found that ridiculous. Inside the house, you'll see different holes in the wall with love lockets. And you can write letters to Juliet, you also see her bedroom and some costumes and throughout the whole thing you see Romeo and Juliet books open to different parts of the book which was pretty cool..... give yourself at least a couple hours here! There's a souvenir shop at the end, but there's also one across the street that's even better. Also, make sure to use the restroom before you come here because their restrooms were absolutely atrocious! And customer service was just OK.
Romeo and Juliet is the great love story created by William Shakespeare. The tragedy story has show the the true love. The scene take place at Verona Italy. The house of both Juliet and Romeo can be found in the walking tour at Verona. The entire town has elected the statue of Juliet such a beauty at Verona. Many lady lover love to to come to Juliet house for the search of good Lover in the future to take a picture by touching the statue. The house of Juliet has a famous balcony that a women want to fall in love to. The town Verona has a lot to offer for tourist including Romeo house is not too far from Juliet house. But this house is the jewel of the town.
A must-do. But it's quite overrated, is it? After strolling around lovely Verona we of course headed to this famous place. It's a must-do, but surely not the reason why we came to this town. But, when in Rome....ummm....when in Verona :) It's completely packed with tourists, and I'm aware that I'm part of that. But still, it's hard to see anything, even less possible to take a nice pic, at least without having hours for the perfect snapshot. If you want to, you can get up to the balcony. For a big fee you get a small time window for a pic or two up there. Not worth it. And with people being on it constantly, it's not possible to get a good shot of it. The statue is easier to get on pic. And then there's the wall with the love messages, which is quite nice. And some volunteers do actually collect, read and answer them (at least some), which is cute. But it's not a charming nor romantic place. But that doesn't matter, since this is not Juliet's balcony, it's just a place the city government did choose one day to BE Juliet's balcony, but with a very high possibility it's not the place William Shakespeare chose for his famous tragedy. It's a must-see, must-do. But don't expect too much.
Juliet's house is definitely a tourist trap. The garden outside is quite nice and you'll see that people are constantly lining up to take pictures with the statue of Juliet. Inside her house, you'll find that Juliet's house is only half furnished. The first floor is taken up by tickets/souvenirs sales and as you walk thru the house, you'll walk thru floors of empty space with one or two displays. You finally get to Juliet's room and you see her bed and that's about it. It looks like what a small neighborhood museum would look like. People are pretty much paying to check out the balcony but if you're not into that, I would recommend skipping.
This spot was nostalgic. The power of storytelling should never be ignored or underestimated. Every year thousands of visitors trek to Verona to see the balcony where Juliet stood while Romeo declared his love. None of us care that it's not the real balcony and is very possible that Romeo and Juliet were only figments of Shakespeare's imagination. This is a popular dining location on Valentines day and for young lovers. Inside the house is a small museum. In the courtyard there is a bronze sculpture of Juliet. This is kinda weird but people rub her right breast for luck. Yes, I rubbed her boob and I kinda liked it....But the ultimate in romantic gesturing is the many love notes stuck on the walls in the entrance to the courtyard. My friends and I wrote letters on colorful post it paper wishing for our true love. Wherefore art thou Romeo? I think my Romeo got lost!
So..... after researching about things to do while in Milan, a recommendation about visiting Verona popped up and of course I went all crazy about visiting the location where the most famous love story happened (or at least was inspired on). Obviously the place is entirely packed like a Disney attraction but in my opinion the staff does a very good job at keeping it organized and flowing. I enjoyed the visit and tour through the house but I wish I had done more reading about what really happened in this estate. I guess I'll have to research now! Important tip: if you go on the first Sunday of the month (starting in October) the entry fee is only €1 per person. I happened to be there on one of those days and, yay! It was only €1! Very recommended visit, please come by and snap you pic in Juliet's balcony if you get through the 1-hour line lol! @francescaMusica
Are you a fan of the Bard? Well, then a pilgrimage to Verona's Casa di Giulietta will be a treat for you. Located in the heart of the city center (and chock-full of tourists), you can visit a memorial dedicated to one of the star-cross'd lovers of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Walk into Juliet's courtyard and visit the famed balcony, check out her statue, and take a stroll through the museum -- you can also leave an email to the Club di Giulietta asking for relationship advice, solidify your love with a lock upon the gate, or an etching upon the wall. Like many other reviewers have pointed out, a popular superstition and touristy-schtick involves touching Juliet's breast for luck in love. It's all fun and games, but I did find some of the tourists' actions disrespectful and crude. DO: Pose for a picture with your hand on her breast and get on with it. DON'T: Spend five or more minutes molesting the statue and making crude remarks about it. Ugh. /end rant Entrance into the courtyard and access to the famed statue are all free. However, entrance to the museum (and consequently, access to the balcony itself) requires a minimal fee. Same if you want to send Juliet an email. We didn't do the museum because it was almost closing time, but had a fun time regardless. It doesn't actually take much time to visit this attraction. Luckily, there are tons of cafes and gelateria in the area and it's a very walkable. A major shopping street is only a couple of minutes away too. So all in all, definitely recommend. Just don't expect to spend all afternoon there.
I was surprised to find that Juliet's house actually exists. The place was swarming with tourists and gift shops nearby. I bought postcards for 0.30 euros each. It was almost a bit impossible to navigate among the throng of German tourists and various tour guides holding up umbrellas, flags, etc. Interesting to see the entrance walls covered with chewing gum and written with lovers' names though. I think they forbid any more graffiti or gum on the walls now. Inside the courtyard, you can see Juliet's balcony and a bronze statue of her with a gleaming right breast where people kept touching it for a photo op. My friend asked why the breast was so significant, but I suppose it's supposed to bring luck or love or something like that. I didn't get the chance to go into the museum itself, but i did admire all the colorful locks adorning the back gate, with inscriptions of lovers from all over the world.
We visited Juliet's house when we were in Verona. It's a very touristy place complete with "locks of love" you can buy to attach to the fence outside the home. If you think it looks familiar, it was featured in the movie, Letters to Juliet (2010) with Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave. The home itself is a museum dedicated to Juliet, the real one not the fictional one made up by Shakespeare and is a 14th century home complete with balcony. The museum does require an admission fee but you can graffiti the walls of the outside courtyard tunnel for free. Declare your love for that special someone or rub on the breast of the Juliet statue for good luck. You can tell which one by the shininess of statue in that particular area. It's a cool place to visit but don't expect to spend gobs of time there. Enjoy!
I love Romeo and Juliet so this place was a must for me. I had the Verona pass so I got to go into the balcony and museum for "free" (prepaid lol). It is very crowded but should be expected of any touristy destination. I really love the love letters on the walls and the beautiful ivy and locks. I even added my own letter, for my boyfriend and me, and it was so cute! I went alone but I had no problem finding people to take photos of me. They have a tacky but cute gift shop by the courtyard, and you were supposed to rub the right rest of the Juliet statue for good luck. I had a great time here and will definitely come back. The staff is friendly and the views are great. The museum is a little stuffy, but, come on, it's hot out!
This was on my must do list! It did not disappoint- the house is 5 stories with great art and stories throughout- you must do stairs. There are no free tickets even to the courtyard anymore- and tickets are only online! Additionally you can not get in from the street across most blogs tell you to go to! So Plan to need to walk around the block There are gift shops to get a lock if you didn't bring one - why not! There is a cute cafe right outside the entrance that we enjoyed vino while waiting for our entrance time read more
I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. I was expecting to see just the balcony, but you get to walk through the entire house and see the costumes, paintings and books on display. We were first in line and rushed in to take photos of the balcony without anyone in them. There were a few people who pretended not to see the queue, so you just have to get there early and stand your ground. The house itself was spacious and beautiful. There are a few sets of stairs so wear comfortable shoes. Definitely recommend visiting! read more
Casa di Giulietta had been on my bucket list since I watched the movie, Letters to Juliet, in the theaters. I wanted to actually write back one of the thousands of letters the Juliet Club receives as well. But, alas, I at least marked off one of the two bucket list items from my list of things to do in Verona. We decided to check out the museum the morning of our last day in Verona and it was the perfect time! We chose the ticket time when they first opened and there were hardly any other patrons walking around. As you walk in there's a small gift shop area and people standing at the door checking for tickets. Most of the museum is up stairs on different levels. There's several different pieces related to Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo and Juliet. There are costumes on display, another Juliet statue inside, the bed that was in the original Romeo and Juliet Movie, and beautiful artwork as well. My also boyfriend took a photo of me on the balcony from our hotel room so that was fun! I think most people may think this area is a little cheesy or touristy, but there's something about this play and this story of two lovers who could never be together but their love was so innocent and pure. I'm thankful we had the opportunity to check out the museum at a time when there weren't many people around. We took our time and learned so much. If you're interested in a little history and maybe you're in town during an off peak time, I highly recommend checking out this museum! read more

Was excited for this spot because well its "Juliet's balcony" Definitely was a bit disappointed... also have a strong feeling the city made this tourist destination to attract more tourist, as there is a gift shop inside as well.. and you have to pay to go out on the balcony... LAME. The patio area is very small and way too many people. Wouldn't really suggest coming here. The Juliet statue concept was a bit perverted too... seeing small children pose while touching her left breast was a bit disturbing... I mean funny at first but yea overall weird! lol read more
The is the main attraction in Verona... The House of Giulietta! What you will find is a small house with a balcony, Her metallic statue (saying is to rub her boobs for good luck), wall of metal rocks and the entrance has two walls of people's writings on it. Ohhh and there is a gift shop... so you will be done in 15 to 20 mins. Not much but nice to see it you are in the surroundings. read more

This isn't actually real. Like, the city elders (I'm assuming there are city elders) wanted to capitalise on the Romeo & Juliet tale and make bank offa it so they built a tourist attraction and the hordes stamped in, they crowd in the little tunnel and buy locks and write love notes stick their chewing gum on the wall (you stay classy, Verona) and the statue of Juliet is shiny on the boob where people swoop in for a grab. It's kitsch but hey, more power to you, elders. It's working a treat. Much like viewing the Mona Lisa its really hard to enjoy as it's always rammed with people. read more

This was a fun stop in Verona. Except it was PACKED! Don't let my photos fool you, it was tough getting a picture without a stranger's head in it. Luckily, we were there at closing time and were the toughest people to kick out so we got to take a few pictures, before they politely (for Italy) slammed the gate behind us. read more

Verona is probably made famous by Romeo and Juliet. My girlfriends wanted to go to Verona just to go to Juliet's house. We enjoyed taking pictures on the balcony and with the statue of Juliet. Cute little place! read more
