All about Verona

When to Visit

The best time to visit Verona is during spring (April to June) and fall (September to October), when the weather is mild and pleasant. These months offer fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed experience. Summer can be hot, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C (86°F), but this is also when the city is busiest, especially around the Verona Opera Festival held in the Arena. If you're a winter traveler, expect fewer tourists and a quieter, more intimate Verona, though it can be chilly, so pack warm clothing.

Getting Around

Verona is a walkable city, making it easy to explore on foot. The historic center is compact, and many of its main attractions are within walking distance of each other. The city's efficient bus network is also a good option for reaching areas further out. For a more relaxed way of seeing Verona, consider renting a bike or using the city’s bike-sharing service. The Verona Porta Nuova railway station connects the city with major Italian cities, making it easy to arrive by train.

Traveler Tips

Don’t miss the Verona Arena, especially if you can catch an opera performance – it’s one of Italy’s best-preserved Roman landmarks. Visit Juliet’s House early in the morning to avoid the crowds, and don’t forget to leave a note on the wall! Explore the local cuisine – try a dish of Risotto all'Amarone made with the region’s famous red wine. For panoramic views, head to the Castel San Pietro. It offers breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding countryside. Be prepared for narrow streets and lots of walking – comfy shoes are a must!
