Verona Transport
If you want to know Verona, as a general rule, you won't need to use your car or a bus to get around Verona. The central part of Verona is comparatively small and you can reach everything on foot. If you decide to visit the lake or the rest of the area around Verona you will need to use public transportation or to rent a car (or to use your own car if you have one with you).
The best thing to make is to plan your tour before departing from you hotel. Buy a map or get a free map from the tourist office and plan what you want to do for the day.
