The appearance of romantic Verona is old, classic, and Romanesque; but this does not mean that an active nightlife is not present. By day the city sees tours and historic landmark pilgrimages, but the city comes alive at night with live music and pubcrawlers.

If you still have energy after walking all around Verona, to put your dancing shoes on at night, there a couple of hip nightclubs in which to do so. Excalibur pulls in young people ready to dance to the live music or DJ-spun beats. It also serves as a restaurant. Excalibur is located at Stradone Pravolo 24. A little further out of town, Ca'Lupa also features DJs to get the crowds moving. The best time to head to Ca'Lupa is strictly in the summer however.

More lively music can be found at Rivamancina which gets quite packed and bustles to the sounds of jungle, drum and bass. The hip lounge is on Vicollo Quadrelli. 

To start a barhopping tour, the Piazza Delle Erbe is always the natural hub of activity in Verona. A favorite chic spot here is the Caffe Delle Erbe which pulls in a fashion-conscious clientele.

Ferro's on Via Fumicello pulls in a lot of expatriates as it is an American bar. If you want something more authentic, check out Taverna Degli Scaligeri at Via Sottoriva which is a great place for beers.
