Located an hour away from Venice and two hours from Milan, Verona is an incredible city that is worth spending 1-2 days exploring! From the history and architecture to incredible food, this city is well worth a visit. In this guide, you will find an interactive map with all of my hotel and restaurant recommendations, as well as the best things to see and do in the city! You will also find all of my travel tips for navigating the city and important information for first-time visitors! This guide is perfect for those of you who just want the research done for you, so you can easily navigate the best Verona has to offer! All of my recommendations in this guide are from my personal experience when visiting! I fell in love with the city as soon as I arrived, and the food was some of the best I have ever had in Italy.

HotelsΒ 

Hotel Verona
@JennyWalz
This hotel is in an ideal location for visiting Verona! It is just outside of the main square making it a quieter hotel but within a short walk of the lively town. I would also like to add - this hotel is a lot nicer than the photos look on this site (trust me, I am a hotel snob)!

Travel Tips & TricksΒ 

Verona is easily walkable and many hotels offer bike rentals that are included in your stay!Β 

Verona is easily accessible by train from stations across Europe, including Venice, Milan, and Innsbruck. You can also fly right into Verona's airport!Β 

When to visit: Any time of year is a good time to visit really, the peak season is in August-September as the weather is more comfortable but still beautiful. Rainy days are possible in the fall but they are scarce still (maybe 5-7 days/month). You can expect some snow in the winter months, but they also have a great Christmas Market. Spring is always wonderful as well!Β 

To save money when visiting the main attractions, consider getting the Verona Card for either 24 or 48 hours (the card costs 20-25 euros and you get access to the main attractions in Verona for free)!Β 

You really do not need more than 1-2 days to explore the whole city, but with how good the food is, you very well might find yourself wanting to stay longer!Β 

I always love taking a cooking class or a food tour on my trips to Italy and Verona has some incredible (and unique) options that I linked below!Β 

Thank you so much for trusting my recommendations! I hope you will love this city just as much as I do. If you have any additional questions or want help planning the rest of your trip, please do not hesitate to reach out either via Instagram (@travels.jw) or email (jenny.walz@fora.travel).Β 

Happy traveling!Β

Last year we lived in France and now we are in Germany! 🎿 Skiing is my favorite thing to do, all winter, you will find me somewhere in the mountains chasing the best snow. πŸ” The mountains are my happy place (even when I am not skiing). I love being outdoors and adventurous trips are definitely my favorite to plan! 🍝 Most of my "city-travel" is planned around food and restaurants I want to try! I love trying new foods and learning about new cultures. One of my favorite things to do in new cities, is take a cooking class to learn about the food and culture! 🌍 My favorite countries that I have visited are Italy and Morocco! ✈️ I work as a travel advisor for FORA Travel and while I love planning luxury vacations, I much prefer realistic travel that everyone can enjoy, which is why I started creating these guides! Travel itself is a luxury, but it does not have to come with the luxurious price tags. I am always budget conscious when planning custom itineraries, but I will always be honest about what is realistic! Follow me on instagram for more travel inspiration and trips @travels.jw β˜€οΈ
