“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name,/ Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love/ and I’ll no longer be a Capulet” said the Juliet of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, on her balcony in the wonderful Italian city of Verona.

Now, for everyone who has a romantic soul, there is a great chance to say “yes” and marry the love of his life on the famous balcony in Juliet’s house.

The balcony looks out over a small courtyard that can be accessed from the street by a short passageway.

Inside the courtyard, there is a bronze statue of Juliet Capulet stands at the bottom of the balcony where, according to William Shakespeare, she stood one starry night, sighing after Romeo’s daring courtship.
