How to get to Verona

Verona is very well connected by road and rail and has an international airport. If you cannot find a suitable flight to Verona then try Milan (Linate) and Venice from where there are frequent rail connections to Verona. Here is some information on airports, airlines, rail, and car hire which may be of use.

Airports

 

Verona airport

This is the most convenient but there is a limited choice of flights. Half hourly bus service to Verona rail station costs 4.5euros. Taxis 20-25euros into Verona town centre. So for 2 persons a taxi from the airport is about the same as getting the bus to the station and then a taxi from the station.

Good choice of flights. Get a bus or taxi to Milan Centrale rail station from where there are tains to Verona approx hourly. Journey time approx 1hr30min. Cost approx 15euros.

Milan's other airport (Malpensa) is a long way outside Milan so try to use Linate instead.

By Car Verona is at the crossroads of the North/South Brenner to Modena autostrada (motorway) and the East/West Milan to Venice motorway.
Parking Verona (as most cities) is not very car friendly in the historic centre. Parking is restricted. You can park in the street outside the apartment with a 'Verona Park' card which you buy (1 euro/hour) at a newsagent or bar.

There is a large free car park within a 10 minute walk of the apaartment
 
  Detailed instructions as to how to reach our apartment will be supplied before you leave together with recommended parking areas.  
Car Hire There are the usual car hire firms at the airports and railway stations. You can usually get a better deal by booking through your airline. We usually book online as and when we need a car as we find we don't need the car much at all.
