Verona Airport: So Verona has its very own airport which is only 11km from the train station. The airport provides a shared shuttle bus which is six euro per person and takes around twenty minutes and brings you directly to Porta Nuova (the main train station in Verona). The timetables can be found online or in the airport itself and the bus goes right outside the doors of the entrance. However flights to Verona are always a little more on the pricey side but it is super handy for a weekend trip.
Milan Bergamo Airport: Milan Bergamo is the next closest airport to Verona and probably the most popular. If you fly into Bergamo there is a bus company named ‘Flixbus‘ which brings you directly to Verona. Prices vary depending on how close you book the bus to the day you intend to travel but it is normally around twelve euro. The company also has an app where you can purchase the tickets and also track the bus. If you don’t have the app make sure you print your tickets before boarding. The stop for getting the bus back to Verona is just behind the stone church at the train station.
Train Service: The easiest way to anywhere from Verona has to be by train. The train service is actually really good and when I was in Verona it’s safe to say I used it a lot! There’s an app called ‘Omio’ you can download that shows you the train timetables and also lets you book your tickets. You can also get your tickets in the station. Make sure you stamp your ticket before getting on the train as they’re really strict about that. You can get to the lake towns in just a couple of minutes for less than a fiver and Rome, Milan and Bologna in a couple of hours.
Local Bus: You probably won’t need the local bus service in the city because everything is within walking distance but just incase. The local bus service is quite good in Verona with all local buses starting from Porta Nuova and going all over the city. It’s more expensive to buy your bus from the driver so I would recommend buying one from a local tobacco shop (just a small shop that sells magazines and sweets etc) or a booklet if your hotel is a little farther out.
