For a local plate, choose risotto all'Amarone or tortellini di Valeggio.

🛡️

Safety & Scams

Common scams and safety precautions during your stay.

The city is safe, but watch bags around Porta Nuova, Piazza Bra, and Juliet courtyard crowds.
Ignore bracelet, flower, and petition approaches near dense tourist corners.
Use official taxis from ranks or hotel calls; drivers should use the meter.
Late-night walking is comfortable in the center, less so around empty station-side streets.

Do not sit on monument steps where signs forbid it; fines are realistic.
A short greeting before ordering changes service noticeably.
