Overview: car trip from Venice to Verona
While Venice might wear the crown of the most romantic city in Italy, many would agree that Verona is just as enchanting. After all, it is the fair city where the timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet began. Drenched in centuries-old romance and history, Verona attracts many visitors each year, eager to trace the footsteps of Shakespeare's famous couple. Although the cities are not that far from each other, your car trip from Venice to Verona is filled with other equally enchanting places.
If you want to extend your trip, Daytrip’s private car service might be what you are looking for. With Daytrip, you can expect a journey that will not only take you to Verona but also allow you to explore along the way. Take a moment to discover other stop-worthy cities not far from Venice and Verona, such as Padua and Vicenza, or get a taste of medieval charm by visiting Soave Castle.
About Verona
Located in northeastern Italy, Verona has a population of just 200,000. It doesn’t even rank in the top 10 most populated cities in Italy, yet it remains one of the country's most visited destinations. The city’s significance dates back to the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages when it served as a crucial transportation hub. In more recent history, Verona gained fame as the setting for the heart-wrenching love story of Romeo and Juliet. As you can tell, Verona is a magical town, steeped in both history and culture.
Throughout history, Verona has faced and overcome numerous challenges. The city fell under French rule during the Napoleonic Wars, followed by Austrian control from 1815 to 1866. Despite these hardships, these periods brought significant changes to Verona in different areas such as architecture, culture, education, economics, and governance.
UNESCO has declared Verona a World Heritage Site to recognize and protect the city for its ancient monuments but also has an enormous legacy from medieval and Renaissance times. Verona is around 2,000 years old, so there really is a lot to see, including some ancient landmarks such as Arena di Verona built in the 1st century AD.
Apart from the historical charm, Verona is famous for being featured in several films, such as "Letters to Juliet". For fans of this romantic American film, it is a must to visit Juliet’s House to leave a letter in the iconic red mailbox.
Verona is a city you can’t describe in just a few words. Whether you are captivated by Shakespeare's tales or the ancient monuments, every step in Verona will reveal a layer of its deep-rooted history and art.
From Venice to Verona: travel tips
Prepare for your trip from Venice to Verona by mastering these travel tips. They'll enhance your journey, whether you're a novice or a seasoned traveler.
Get the Verona Card
The Verona Card is a tourist card that includes priority access, free entrance, or discounts to the most famous attractions such as the Arena, Juliet’s House (make sure you book your visit in advance), Verona Cathedral, etc. You can purchase either the 24-hour or 48-hour card which respectively cost $29.50 (€27) and $35 (€32). Be aware that you are granted free entrance or discount just once per attraction. Oh, and it also gives you free bus rides in the city!
Book everything in advance
As Verona is a popular destination, it can get quite packed. Make sure you book in advance not only the accommodation but also the main attractions you are planning to visit, such as the Verona Arena and Juliet’s House.
How to get from Venice to Verona
Although both cities have an airport, they are so close to each other that no direct flights are available. Instead, more efficient travel options will get you to your destination faster than the wait time you would encounter at the airport. Here are the three main modes of transportation for the route from Venice to Verona:
From Venice to Verona by bus
If you want to save some dollars, opt for a budget-friendly bus ride. Here are two of the most popular bus companies you can choose from:
- Itabus: there are two buses per day. One-way tickets cost around $8.70 (€8). The approximate journey time is 1 hour and 25 to 45 minutes.
- Flixbus: buses depart several times a day. The cheapest tickets start from around $8 (€7.50). The journey time is 1 hour and 25 minutes to 2 hours.
From Venice to Verona by train
Trains are often preferred by travelers from Venice to Verona. You can either opt for the high-speed or regional train, although the latter is not very convenient regarding its travel time (almost 2.5 hours) and pricing. The best option is the Frecciarossa high-speed train. These trains are operated by Trenitalia, and the tickets start from $27 (€25). You will reach Verona in just 1 hour and 10 minutes.
From Venice to Verona by private car service
If you are looking for a way to make the most out of your trip, opt for a private car service like Daytrip. With Daytrip, you can tailor the trip to your needs by choosing the departure time and adding any sightseeing stops you desire to discover as you approach Verona. Your journey won’t be as exciting traveling by bus or train, so Daytrip is the perfect option for those who want to take advantage of each minute of the trip.
One of the most iconic stops you can add to your itinerary is the charming city of Padua, known for being home to the second oldest university in Italy. Padua is also famous for the UNESCO-listed 14th-century fresco cycles, which are spread across eight secular and religious buildings, as well as the world’s oldest academic botanical garden (Orto Botanico). Take a walk around Vicenza which is included in the UNESCO-listed City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto. Finish your journey by exploring the medieval fortress of Soave Castle.
Things to do when you get to Verona
The Adige River weaves through the city and could offer some impressive views from a different perspective but unfortunately, the river is not navigable, so if you were planning to go on a boat tour, you might have to opt for another itinerary. You can leave the boating in Venice but don’t worry, as there is plenty to do in Verona.
Hundreds of visitors each day pass by Juliet's House to see the famous balcony. And while Verona is closely tied to this romantic story, the city has so much more to offer. Whether you are planning to go on a tour or explore on your own, here are some of our favorite things that you should not miss during your stay in this timeless city:
Admire the majestic Verona Amphitheater
Arena di Verona is one of Italy’s largest and most impressive ancient Roman monuments. Although today the Amphitheater is located in the heart of the city, back then it was built on the outskirts to avoid crowds. Different kinds of shows were held there, from gladiator fights to exotic animal hunts. Nowadays, the Arena has been modernized and you can attend opera performances. You will find plenty of cafes around the area with a view of this antique masterpiece.
Soak in the views from above
The 285-foot-high Lamberti Tower is one of the most famous viewpoints of the city. The construction of this iconic medieval tower began in 1172. You can either use the stairs or the elevator but in case you choose the latter, you have to pay an extra €1 if you have the Verona Card. Once you are at the top, you can enjoy the best panoramic views of the city.
Explore the churches
Just like any city in Italy, Verona is also full of churches. Some of the most impressive ones are the Cathedral of Verona, Basilica di Santa Anastasia, and the Church of San Fermo Maggiore. Each one of them is unique, offering its own architectural style and historical background, so make sure you visit them all! The entrance fee is around $4.30 (€4), although you can also purchase one ticket to enter all the churches.
Discover the local gastronomy
The best way to learn about the culture is by trying the local cuisine, and there are two dishes that you should not miss. One of them is pastisada de caval, a horse meat stew that is known as Verona’s most traditional dish. You also cannot miss *pearà *which is a sauce served with boiled meat. It is prepared only in Verona, so make sure you try it!
When is the best time to visit Verona
Like most southern European cities, the best time to visit Verona is from May to September. From late spring and early fall, you can experience warm temperatures without the summer crowds (peak season is July and August). So if you want to enjoy fewer crowds and not too warm temperatures, May and September are the ideal months. In both months you can expect temperatures from 51°F to 77°F (11-25°C).
If you are planning to visit the annual event "Verona in Love", bear in mind that during February the temperatures range from 37° F to 50° F (3-10° C) and there is a higher possibility of rainfall.

Why people love Daytrip
- 824 travelers took this route with us
“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”
Best transport company anywhere
“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
Excellent experience in traveling
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
