Tips for travelers at VRN
The airport sits about 12 km southwest of the city center, and an AeroBus shuttle connects directly to Verona Porta Nuova train station for a few euros — skip the taxis unless you're splitting the cost with travel companions. Check-in lines move fast here compared to bigger Italian hubs, but don't let that make you lazy: European summer weekends get genuinely crowded. Spring and autumn are the sweet spots for lower fares and thinner crowds. If you're positioning through Milan Malpensa (MXP) first, note that domestic hop is only 173 km — sometimes a train is actually faster door to door.
