Getting Around, Verona Travel, Transport and Car Rental
(Verona, Veneto, Italy)
Verona is a relatively small city and visitors will find that it's easy enough to travel around on foot from one major attraction to another. The fact that few cars are allowed into the historic centre of Verona makes it even easier to leave the car behind, and public transport is always on hand if needed.
With such beautiful countryside surrounding the city, it's naturally tempting to want to travel outside of Verona. It is possible to travel to many regional attractions, including Lake Garda, by public transport, using buses or coaches. For short distances, taxis really come into their own in terms of convenience.
Valerio Catullo Villafranca International Airport (VRN) / Arriving by Air
The Valerio Catullo Villafranca airport is located approximately 10 km / 6 miles from the city centre. A frequent shuttle-bus service takes visitors to Verona's train station. An alternative airport is nearby Brescia Montichiari, which operates flights by Ryanair. Again, a bus service transports visitors into central Verona, providing a cheap way to travel to your chosen destination. Larger international airports are at
Milan,
Venice and
Bologna.
Car Rental
Verona is easily accessible by car thanks to the A4 motorway, which links Milan and Venice, and also the A22 motorway, which runs in a north-south direction. It's worth noting that the historic centre of Verona is closed to traffic, except for access by residents and those travelling directly to their hotels. However, parking is available nearby and visitors are advised to plan parking in advance of their arrival, to avoid delays.
Buses and Coaches
The bus station in Verona is situated just across from the train station, at the Piazza XXV Aprile. City bus transport runs from here to the city's main square, the Piazza Brà. It's also possible to catch a bus from Verona to a variety of towns in the region, including Lake Garda, Vicenza, Padua and Venice. However, it's worth checking the price of a ticket and the timetable, as in some cases it is much easier to travel by train.
Trains
Verona has a well-connected train service to Milan, Venice,
Rome and Brennero. It's also possible to travel by train from Verona to Vicenza, Padua and Bologna. The main train station, Stazione Verona Porta Nuova, is located a short distance away from the very heart of the city centre.
Taxis
Taxi ranks can be found at Verona's train station or can be booked by telephone in advance.
