Travel guide Verona
Bella Italia just behind the Alps
Verona is located in the Italian province of Veneto, east of the southern end of Lake Garda. The most convenient and environmentally friendly way to reach your holiday apartment in Verona,
Italy, is by train. You can reach your affordable holiday home from a private owner directly from Munich every day. Additional direct connections are available in the summer months from Hamburg, Düsseldorf, and Berlin. By car, you can reach Verona in five hours from Munich via the Brenner motorway. From the Rhineland and the Ruhr area, the journey takes about ten hours. Flying is faster: Valerio Catullo Airport is only ten kilometers outside the city center. Due to its central location in the Po Valley, excursions to the lagoon city of
Venice and
Lake Garda are possible. Book a holiday accommodation, whether a house or an apartment, in the region according to your personal wishes with a Mediterranean flair - a dream!
The warm south beckons
The climate in the Po Valley and Verona is warm temperate with continental characteristics. In the summer months, temperatures often climb above 35° C. In winter, daytime temperatures range from six to twelve degrees. Due to its proximity to the Alps, frost is common. The best time to travel is spring and autumn when Verona is already pleasantly mild, or the warm late summer invites you to spend days and nights outdoors. The water temperature in July and August is over 20 °C. The lake is also suitable for a
holiday with a dog with its hiking opportunities and numerous dog beaches. Whether summer or winter, a trip here is suitable for any season.
Mare e Monti – The best between sea and mountains
Veneto's cuisine is characterized by its location between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps. The lagoon of Venice and the open sea provide an abundance of fish and seafood. Shellfish and mussels dishes are particularly popular on the menus. The hearty fish stew brodetto is a classic of Adriatic cuisine. In the restaurants, freshwater fish from Lake Garda and the rivers are also highly popular. The Alpine region provides meat from beef, veal, pork, and game, as well as fine sausage specialties, cooked, smoked, and air-dried. Try Stinco al forno, which is veal shank from the oven, or salmi' (spicy game stew). Many meat dishes are served with peverada, a famous Venetian sauce based on meat broth. The Po Valley is a traditional rice-growing area. In addition to rice, polenta is a widely used side dish. And as an accompaniment, the excellent wines of Veneto are offered: Valpolicella, Lugana, or Prosecco. Sit back in your private holiday home and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. Alternatively, find a restaurant on Piazza Bra, the largest piazza in Verona.
Holiday between lake, city, and sea
Family-friendly holiday apartments in Verona are affordable: rent inexpensive apartments in Verona and the surrounding area and combine your city break with excursions to Lake Garda and the Adriatic Sea. From your accommodation, it is only half an hour to the southern end of the lake. To the Adriatic Sea, it is just under two hours. A holiday can hardly be more varied. Spend a day in the lovely landscape on the shores of Lake Garda, for example in
Sirmione, a day in Verona or neighboring Padua, and a day on the beach of the Adriatic coast in
Lido di Jesolo or the lagoon of Venice.
Culture from antiquity and the Middle Ages
Verona itself has enough cultural offerings to spend several days in the city. The city is not without reason considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The largest attraction is the Roman amphitheater from the time of Emperor Augustus. The arena is still used today for opera performances. More than 20,000 people can find a place in it. The triumphal arch Arco di Gavi also dates from the first century AD. In addition to the Roman remains, the medieval center of Verona fascinates with buildings such as churches, cathedrals, city palaces, and impressive sacred buildings, whose interiors are adorned with the works of great masters such as Titian and Pisanello. Let the facades of the houses around Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori transport you back to past centuries. The Castelvecchio with its fortress bridge over the Adige River is impressive. The complex was built in the 14th century by the della Scala lords. At the time of its completion, it was an architectural masterpiece. Today, the castle houses a museum of painting and sculptures from the region's past. Visit the old town with many Pontes (bridges) such as Ponte Pietra, the Arena or the amphitheater, the Castelvecchio fortress, Piazza Erbe, or the opera festival. Travel now to a house or apartment and explore the cultural and scenic surroundings as a guest.
