Verona by car
Verona curls inside a bend of the Adige beneath vineyard slopes, its Roman arena still filling for opera each summer. Lake Garda, the Soave cellars and the Dolomite foothills all lie a short drive away.
Driving in Verona
Verona is reached by A4, A22 and SS12. Parking in the centre is paid and marked by zone. Driving through the centre is restricted, so most drivers park on the edge.
Arriving by road
Verona sits where two Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) corridors meet, which makes it reachable by road from several neighbouring countries. Arriving from Valerio Catullo airport, drivers join the A4 in the direction of Padova (Padua) and stay on it as far as Verona.
From the airport without a car
Verona Villafranca Airport, also called Valerio Catullo, is served by the VeronaAirLink bus, which leaves from the stop in front of the terminal and arrives beside the entrance of Verona Porta Nuova, the main station. Tickets are sold by the driver for cash or at machines next to the stop. On weekdays, city buses 11, 12 or 13 continue from Porta Nuova to the Arena on Piazza Bra.
