About this tour
This session walks Via Sottoriva after dark, a porticoed street built over a covered canal. You see the medieval arches running along it, then continue as the bars fill their outdoor tables for the evening. It is a short session on one of Verona's most atmospheric streets at its liveliest hour.
We start with a sound check under the porticoes, since the street stays quiet before the evening properly starts. I stay in place for the second stop as the bars fill and take your questions about the street's history as we go. A short list of nearby spots follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone planning an evening out in Verona who wants some background first. It also works well booked just before you head out yourself.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

The camera moves under the street's medieval porticoes, and I explain how the canal running beneath it was covered over more than a century ago.

-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Lesso e pearà and Centro storico, worth a slower look.
Good to know

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Verona, showing you Via Sottoriva porticoes and Via Sottoriva bars live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
