UK Holiday airline Jet2 is launching new routes to various destinations as part of its revamped Summer and Winter 2022 programmes.
Starting from 10th May, the leisure airline will operate a service between Newcastle and Verona each Wednesday until the end of September.
Famed as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Verona has romance around every corner. Holidaymakers can get lost among the piazzas and tangle of medieval backstreets, take a starry-eyed stroll to visit Juliet’s ivy-clad balcony, people-watch at Piazza delle Erbe or indulge in some stylish shopping along Via Mazzini. Throughout the summer months, world-class performers take to the ancient Verona Arena’s stage to perform operatic classics under the stars.
Wine lovers can try the local ruby red Valpolicella and foodies can enjoy traditional osterias that dish up meaty red wine stews, overflowing plates of pasta and bowls of creamy risotto. On top of all that, the stunning Lake Garda is on Verona's doorstep.
