I also used it as a base to visit nearby Verona and Lago di Garda thanks to the excellent train conncetions. Would I go back…yes! Is 24 hours really enough in any city? Oh yes.. I am with you there… Would happily spend 24 days in Verona. Those stops always leave me wanting more. Verona looks so charming, like so many Italian cities! Thank you for sharing this. Looks like a great place to explore. It looks like you can see alot in a short amount of time in Verona. I love the Cathedrial.
So much to see in Verona! Romeo and Juliet was a favorite of mine when I was a teenager and I would love to see the stone bridge in person. With limited time the Verona card seems like the way to go. I would love to see Verona, even though it has been too touristy.
Too bad that it was so crowded when you were there in June, but I guess every city — especially in Italy — is crowded and touristy in summer. Verona reminds me a bit of Sienna, which we visited a few years ago. That picture you got from the top of the hill is amazing!
Also, I totally agree about places like Casa De Giulietta; sometimes the crazy crowds can really detract from what should be a really amazing experience. Thanks for sharing! Your photos, as usual Alison, are stunning! Lovely to catch-up on your Savary departure day. Safe travels. We fly out tomorrow on our next trip xx. Your email address will not be published.

If you decide to head up this way, consider taking some of the back streets. Strolling off the tourist trail was one of our favourite things to do Verona. The earthy coloured buildings with coloured shutters and cute balconies are plentiful throughout the town. A grand old castle dating back to the s sits next to the river. It has now been turned into an art museum. Alternatively, the bridge Ponte di Castelvecchio is accessible to the public. Enjoy a break before dinner by partaking in the Italian tradition of aperitivo.
An aperol spritz is sure to cool you down after a jam packed day full of sightseeing. Piazza Erbe has quite a few options in this regard. Dal Medico is a highly rated bar with views out to the square that was recommended to us by our AirBnB hosts.
This little eatery was located a whole one minute away from our apartment. We picked it for convenience but recommend it now because of the sensational food, particularly if you only have 1 day in Verona. We enjoyed two pastas here. By far and away, the highlight was the paccheri with bacon and a pistachio pesto. A crunchy bacon with a soft pasta and the nuttiness of psitachios made for a wonderful meal. It was possible for us to book this restaurant online via The Fork Italy too.
If you choose to stay overnight on your 1 day in Verona, there are some great accommodation options. It was a cosy, one room apartment within the old town of Verona, a short stroll away from the touristic centre.
We hope you have a wonderful time in this amazing northern Italian city. Skip to content Search for:. Like it? Feel free to share! One day in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. United Kingdom. New Zealand.
