Casa di Giulietta

Despite the crowd, visiting Juliet’s House was such a special experience. The place radiates a unique charm, filled with romantic history and timeless emotion. Standing beneath the famous balcony felt like stepping into a living fairytale. What truly delighted me was the souvenir shop, absolutely beautiful, filled with lovely, thoughtful items that perfectly capture the spirit of Verona. A must-visit for every romantic soul. ♥️

Very crowded. Courtyard entrance is free. You'll need to pay to enter the house. Bring a love note and some way to stick it to the wall. Also bring some patience.

A must-see in Verona! You can see the balcony and the statue of Juliet from the outside, without paying to go in the house, but entry into the house is free with the Verona Card (and you can stand on the balcony!). Not loads to see inside the house, but it’s still very interesting. I would recommend this very highly

An iconic spot with the statue of Juliet – and yes, of course, the tradition of touching her boob, haha. The line from the main street was actually pretty short; even on a busy weekend with crowds everywhere, we only waited about 7 minutes before getting in. The flow is well organized, so the queue moves quickly. If you want to enter Juliet’s house itself, you need to buy tickets online in advance – that’s the only way to get inside. But honestly, even just the courtyard and patio make an impression, with a great atmosphere. You can spend some symbolic time here, write your name on the wall, and leave with a fun memory.

We stopped by Juliet’s House while exploring Verona — it was cool to see the famous balcony and step into the romantic legend for a moment. The museum was closed when we visited, so we only explored the courtyard, which was still worth the visit. It was very crowded, so don’t expect a peaceful experience, but it’s an iconic spot and a fun photo opportunity if you’re already in the area.

Charming but very crowded! The courtyard with the famous balcony is lovely, but expect lots of people taking photos. Worth seeing for the Shakespearean vibe and romantic atmosphere. Book tickets in advance if you want to go inside the house.

Juliet’s House is a famous spot, but it can get very crowded. Expect a long queue if you want to take photos with the balcony. The small courtyard is charming, but the crowds take away some of the magic. Still, it’s a place you’ll probably want to see at least once.

Such a lovely place to see! I would recommend going early in the morning or just before it closes to avoid queues and get a proper view. Don’t miss the padlocks in the corner, they’re so beautiful! Didn’t pay to go inside but the courtyard alone is lovely.

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!

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..

While in Verona how can you not visit the home of Juliet. The famous balcony from where the love affair began. We visited the home and were even able to go on the famous balcony. Also, legend has it if you touch Juliet's breast at the statue which is on display, you will find your true love. The line was long and everyone was grabbing Juliet's breast. Although I have my true love, I had to cop a feel. Lol!

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.

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

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!

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 might be a cynic but I want to remind everyone that Romeo and Juliet is not a historic fact, it is a play written by Shakespeare. Beautifully written but still fiction! Verona is such a beautiful, historic city and I was amazed that the busiest attraction was Juliet's house and the balcony which comes with it. Since we had a Verona-pass we did visit the house (single entry was 6.5 euro) but it was a big disappointment: there were some random bowls without further explanation, the bed used in one of the films and a few costumes. After the tour of seeing nothing in the house, you can stand on the famous balcony. I would have been seriously upset if I had paid 6.5 euro for just standing on a balcony! Tourist trap, avoid! Do yourself a favor and go and visit the other sites in Verona.

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.

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!

Although the story of Romeo and Juliet is fictional, the house is real. Exploring it takes you back to a period so long ago. Almost a bit eerie, but I really enjoyed the experience.

I know it's all fiction but this is such a lovely little town, and every bit of it's beautiful, whether Shakespeare saw this place or not, whether Juliet was real or not. It feels like a little shrine to love. That's sweet.

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!

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

Obviously you can't skip Verona without a visit to this faux-famous fictionalized Shakespearean character's house. It's a fun experience, whimsical, silly, and of course romantic. Remember, it's good luck to grab Guilietta's left boob ^.^

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.

#130-2016: Having established that both Romeo and Juliet have never existed and that the story is based off the far less fictionally famous city of Siena, which Shakespeare has brilliantly transcribed into a legendary play, here you are, visiting Juliet's house, where countless lovers' disputes and sad letters are read and replied by "Juliet's Club" members. Here you step into the inner yard and find yourself drawn upon this Juliet's statue.... and you wonder "why would her breast be of a different color from the rest of the statue?". Answer becomes clear fast, tourists rub on it for good (?) luck. After snapping a picture next to said statue, possibly posing as rubbing on the boob, there you wonder what to do next. Should I venture into the house? Should I tour the museum of this fictional character? Should I reach the (in)famous balcony Juliet supposedly was looking out of when she pronounced the legendary "Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo"... And then? You will be left with a sour aftertaste... I expected Verona to be able to offer a better show for the money they charge... What a pity indeed, save yourselves the pennies for the museum and refrain from rubbing on a set of boobs. .. And, head on to better things in this magical and romantic city.

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.

It's a check-in-the-block tourist event, but at least it is fun and a pretty cheap date. Now that it is illegal to post anything directly on the walls in the courtyard, your obvious options are to: 1) Scrawl on the breezeway that recently got whitewashed, so there is plenty of room. 2) Write to Juliet on the computers in the nearby museum (€6 per ticket) 3) Ask the embroidery ladies in the attached Club di Giulietta what else you can do. There's a bunch of tourists doing stupid and fun things with Juliet's statue, mainly taking photos of them groping her right breast (much shinier than anything else on the statue). You'll also occasionally see other juvenile acts of romantic angst. If you are there with your lover, you can "lock your love" on the gates or other places in the courtyard. We ended up buying a lock for €5 in the co-located tourist shop, and it came with a permanent marker so we could inscribe whatever we wanted on the lock and believe it will remain there until the end of time. The visitors come and go, but it is really annoying when the tour groups come in and take over the whole courtyard. If you do take the museum tour, you can also walk out to "Juliet's balcony" and observe the little people below you. If you think ahead enough, have someone in the courtyard take a photo of you. For €17, the wife was completely elated that we did this. BONUS points, men!

This tourist attraction is little over rated and lame but since it is in romantic Verona, I guess everything seems wonderful. You will not miss this place since it's packed with tourists. Also signs around the city will indicate you the location. It is supposed to be the place where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette had their secret meetings. In my oppinion there are several other more beautiful balconies around the city. There is the statue of Juliette. In case you want to go on the balcony, there is a small entrance fee. You can place your love locks here or if you are tall enough you can write your names in the wall. There is also a small gift shop with extremely high prices.

We came, we saw, we wrote, we experienced, and we went on with our life, together.

Pro: - You're in Verona. Fake or not, you still have to pay the place a visit. - The mailbox from that movies "Letters to Juliet" really exists! (granted.. it's completely empty to my disappointment) - The ladies and gentlemen working here are very nice, and will sew your name on a little paper as a free souvenir (granted they hope you'd buy something, and yes... I did end up doing all my souvenir shopping here, but the prices for the "fun" value was quite reasonable) Con: - Uhhhhhh seriously is THIS the crowd? Wow... - Tourists pushing and shoving relentlessly to grab Juliet statue's bosom... - Not exactly a romantic experience by ANY means - Again... are we really all here at a pretend Juliet's house fighting to touch a statue? I love the Bard. I love Romeo and Juliet. But I think I enjoyed the sewing house gift shop more than the actual site itself.

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.

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!

When visiting Verona for a weekend-trip, of course we had to visit the house of Juliet. For us it was mostly ticking it of on the todo list in Verona. We were in Verona really in the off-season and it was not too busy. However, I can imagine that in the high-season it will be super busy here. We did not go inside the house, but just decided to walk around. Nice to have seen it, but we were not super impressed :) (Been there, done that, got the t-shirt :) )

Reading Shakespeare, you wouldn't believe it was true, yet visiting Juliet's house changes that... One of the most amazing experience ever, visiting Casa di Giulietta (Residence of Juliet) in Verona, Italy. You walk into the old rustic villa to find a small courtyard to a 2nd story balcony where Romeo courted Juliet. All the tourists are here to send their love, not to Shakespeare but to Juliet. The statue of Juliet is said to bring love to men who touch her breasts, women who hold her heart/hand. It's almost too unbelievable to hear the true stories, of ppl desperate for love, coming to this villa/statue for good blessings! I was a true skeptic till now. The courtyard has a beautiful tan wall with names written on the wall of true loves and actual letters to Juliet's maids in waiting, who honestly write back every guests letter (if u place ur address). Ive never experienced the sadness you feel here, trying to find a long lost love or even finding love... When I was there last, I chose to write names on the wall, whom at the time were looking for love.... To this day, every name I wrote, has found love... I truly believe this site is well worth seeing during your visit to Verona. Sit in the courtyard and ppl watch, it's one to remember.

Very unimpressive attraction in Verona. We walked and walked looking for it for a half hour. When we finally found it we almost missed it if it weren't for the crowd out front taking pictures. It's literally just a plain house that blends right in with the rest of them. There's a small sign way up high indicating what it is. We didn't bother to go in to see the statue or up to the balcony. It just wasn't worth the time when we only had 1 day in this city. Go if you have plenty of time, otherwise skip it.

It was pretty neat to see this Balcony where Juliet was out on and said the famous line, "O Romeo! Romeo! Whererfor art thou Romeo?" Its tucked away off a street but there are signs guiding you along the way where to go. In the courtyard there is a bronze statue of Juliet too where you can pose for a photo and if you notice that the right brest is highly shiny compared to the rest of the statue, its because everyone grabs her boob for a photo! why you might ask, its supposed to bring good luck to those in search of true love and have yet to find it. So, over all, a really cool sight to see while in Verona!!

Tourist trap (duh)... it's only worth a visit if you're in or near Verona. What's all here? Juliet's balcony, a nasty wall covered in gum & love notes, a gift shop, love locks, Juliet's statue. Free admission; however, there's a fee if you want to get to the balcony. This place is always super crowded & it's very small so if you're claustrophobic, maybe you should not go inside. There's always a line to get to the balcony & to touch the statue (all because somebody came up with some silly reason to do so & everyone else follows) We didn't care to do either nor did we want to waste our time so we just took some pictures and moved on.

Well, it's based on a fiction of course (the star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet in case anyone's in any doubt!) but it doesn't stop tourists flocking here in their thousands every year! It was very charming, certainly, when I last saw it, though I've heard there's graffiti all over the walls these days which must spoil the romance of the moment. There's a statue of Juliet below the balcony, in the attractive courtyard. You can pay an admission fee to go inside the house and even onto the balcony itself.

I was at the Casa di Giulietta on the 9th of June 2013. It was my 2nd time there. Any fan of Shakespeare's Romeo an Juliet has to make a pilgrimage here in Verona. A photo of the famous Juliet balcony (Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo) and a photo standing with the Juliet (Giulietta in Italian) statue are a must.

This house is a false. The building was remade in 1929, and the famous balcony is not original. But you can always see the famous bronze statue of Juliet, and touch it, hoping that your dream of love could become true.
