Verona Villafranca Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Verona Villafranca airport is connected to the city centre by the ATV Aerobus, which reaches Porta Nuova in 15-20 minutes. Those with a dawn or late-evening flight, or staying just one night, are better off sleeping in Villafranca, a few minutes from the terminal. Those who want to visit Verona can choose between two areas of the old town: the Arena and Piazza Bra one, touristy and lively in the evening, or San Zeno, more residential, along the Adige, a walk from the main sights.
