Getting around

By air

Verona Villafranca (Valerio Catullo, VRN) is a small international airport with European routes; for long-haul you’ll usually connect through a European hub, or use Venice or Milan’s larger airports, both an easy train away.

From the airport into town — the AirLink (line 199)

ATV’s AirLink bus runs from the airport to Verona Porta Nuova station in about 15–20 minutes, roughly every 20 minutes, for around €6.

By train

Verona Porta Nuova is a major junction where the Milan–Venice high-speed line crosses the north–south Brenner line, so much of the north and even southern Germany and Austria are direct rides (times below).

On foot

The historic centre, wrapped in a bend of the river Adige, is small, flat, and made for walking. Most central daily life happens on foot, and the Arena, the piazzas, and the shops are all within an easy stroll.

Buses (ATV)

Verona’s local network is run by ATV; there’s no metro or tram, but the city is compact enough not to need one. A single ride is €1.50, valid 90 minutes (ATV, 2026).

Intercity buses (FlixBus and Itabus)

A budget option for other cities. On Verona’s rail crossroads the train is usually faster and more central, so most people take it, but the coach can win on price or for routes the train serves awkwardly. Check routes and fares on FlixBus ›

A note on driving

Verona's historic centre has a ZTL (limited-traffic zone) and tight parking, so a car is a burden in the core. It earns its keep mainly for trips out to Lake Garda, twenty minutes west, or the Valpolicella wine hills.
