Yes, but it was about 15 years ago, so can't really give you any tips on places to go. Beautiful place (as all medieval Italian towns are), lots of good eateries, but probably best to avoid the main square (Piazza Bra), as it's expensive. If you can get hold of a copy in Madeira, well worth reading Tim Parks' A Season With Verona. Won't tell you anything about the tourist attractions, but does have the names of a few locals' bars and gives you a good insight into the Veronese mindset and rivalry with other towns.

Charming place, especially in the autumn. You will love it.

I'm going to Lake Garda two weeks today and plan on a day trip to Verona and also hopefully an evening visit to see a show in the arena. Will report back if it's not too late for your decision. If I were you I'd go there though, from what I've read it sounds a really nice place.
