Best Time to Visit

Verona has four distinct seasons. Summer months can be very warm and humid but this is the most popular time to visit Italy. If you do not mind the heat or the crowds then June through August is good months to visit. During these months, the city comes to life with festivals, al fresco cafés and outdoor shows at the Arena di Verona. During winter from November and February, the weather is cold with frost and heavy fog and it can sometimes drop below freezing. For winter sport enthusiasts the Italy's mountains has a lot to offer and if you want to avoid the crowd and find bargain prices on airfares then this is the period to travel to Italy. Considering the weather and the crowd, the best time to visit Verona is during late spring and early autumn since the temperatures are mild and there are fewer tourists around.

Passport / Visa

Italy can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.

Airport

Verona’s International Airport, Valerio Catullo, lies around 12 km from the city centre. A local city bus, the ATV bus "Aerobus", gets you into the city, to Verona Porta Nuova Railway Station.

Public Transport

Verona is a small city, and the best way to see it is on foot. However, thanks to the effective public transport system, it is easy to move around in Verona and its surrounding areas. The company that serves the public buses is called ATV (Azienda Trasporti Verona) and they provide two different types of buses: the city bus (named “Urbani”) and out-of-town buses, in all Verona Province (called “Extraurbani”). Tickets can be bought in the tourist boards, official ticket offices, tobacco shop (Tabaccheria), on the ATV link below and on-board on the bus. If you decide to buy your ticket on the bus, you should be aware that it will be an extra charge and you will need to pay with exact coins.
