“We arrived at our 11:00 slot, walked past the courtyard queue, and were on the balcony in under five minutes. The audio guide before the trip was the best part — turns the whole literary fiction into a much more interesting story.”

“Booked from our hotel the night before. Got a 14:00 slot the next afternoon. Whole thing took 45 minutes — perfect coffee-break museum on a Verona walking day.”

“Smaller museum than I expected but the costumes from the Zeffirelli film and the balcony were lovely. The concierge replied to a date-change in two hours.”

5-minute audio guide

Your Casa di Giulietta 5-minute guide

Hand-written, narrated by a heritage host, sent to every customer the day before their visit. Five minutes that separate the Shakespeare myth from the real history — the medieval inn, the Capello family hat that became the Capulet legend, and Antonio Avena's 1939 balcony made from a sarcophagus.

  • Why this house — and the literary fiction layered on the real medieval inn
  • The Capello family, their hat heraldry, and how it became 'Capulet'
  • Antonio Avena's 1939 balcony — and what it's actually made from
  • The bronze Juliet statue, the breast tradition, and the 2014 replica

Included free with every ticket. No app, no download — plays in any browser.

About Casa di Giulietta

Casa di Giulietta — Juliet's House — is the 14th-century brick tower house in Verona's historic centre that the world has chosen to associate with Shakespeare's tragedy. The connection is a layered literary fiction stacked on a real medieval building: the original house belonged to the Capello family, whose hat-shaped heraldic emblem (capello means 'hat' in old Italian) was reinterpreted in the 18th and 19th centuries as a link to Shakespeare's Capulet family. The municipality of Verona has owned the building since 1905; in 1939 the architect Antonio Avena added the famous balcony — fashioned from a medieval marble sarcophagus and existing civic stone — to give the courtyard the photographic centerpiece visitors come for.

The interior is preserved as a small museum operated by the Musei Civici di Verona. Visitors walk through frescoed medieval rooms, reproductions of Renaissance furniture, costumes from Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film of Romeo and Juliet, and historical material on the Capello family. A short stair leads onto the balcony itself — the centerpiece of every Verona honeymoon photograph since the 1940s.

The courtyard with the balcony is free and open to the public daily; the museum interior requires a ticket. Verona itself was inscribed by UNESCO as World Heritage in 2000, recognising the city's exceptional concentration of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance architecture.

Frequently asked

Is Casa di Giulietta really Juliet's house?

It's a layered literary fiction. The original 14th-century house belonged to the Capello family — their heraldic hat-shaped emblem ('capello' = old Italian for 'hat') was reinterpreted in the 18th and 19th centuries as a link to Shakespeare's Capulet family. The famous balcony was added in 1939 by architect Antonio Avena to give the courtyard a photographic centerpiece. Shakespeare himself almost certainly never visited Verona.

Do I need a ticket to see the balcony?

The courtyard with the balcony is free and open to the public — you can stand below it and photograph it without paying. A ticket is required to enter the house museum and to step out onto the balcony itself.

What's included in the skip-the-line ticket?

Entry to the Casa di Giulietta house museum: frescoed medieval rooms, period furniture, Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo and Juliet film costumes, historical exhibits, and stair access to the famous balcony. Your timed slot is reserved before you arrive.

When should I arrive?

10–15 minutes before your booked slot. Arriving earlier is fine but you won't be admitted before your time. The courtyard itself can be wandered freely while you wait — and a courtyard photo is what most visitors come for.

How long does a visit take?

30–60 minutes for the interior. Add 15–30 minutes for courtyard photos and the bronze Juliet statue (where the rub-her-right-breast-for-luck tradition has worn the bronze visibly thin).

Is the museum open year-round?

Yes. Standard hours are Tue–Sun 10:00–18:00 (last entry 17:30) and Mon 13:30–19:30 (last entry 19:00). Hours can adjust for public holidays — confirm on the day if travelling on Christmas, New Year's Day, or Easter Sunday.

Can I change my date or time?

Once booked, slots are non-transferable and non-refundable. If you need to change, contact us at bookings@casadigiulietta-tickets.com — we'll help where we can but cannot guarantee a new slot in peak season.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes. The museum is small and the visit is short enough for younger visitors. The courtyard has the bronze Juliet statue, the wall of letters, and the balcony — all photographable. Strollers fit through the museum but the upper-floor stairs are unavoidable.

Is the museum wheelchair-accessible?

Partially. The courtyard with the bronze statue is accessible. The museum interior has stairs between floors and a stair to the balcony with no lift. Contact Musei Civici di Verona in advance for specific accessibility advice.

What's your refund policy?

Two situations trigger a full refund: (a) we cannot secure your chosen time slot, or (b) the operator cancels entry. Outside those two cases, tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable once issued. See the refund policy page for detail.
