But it can definitely get claustrophobic\u00a0after a few days, especially during high season. If you&#8217;re staying in Venice a day trip is the perfect way to escape, change the scenery, and re-charge the batteries. There are a lot of great options for day trips from Venice but our favorite is <a href=\"https:\/\/walksofitaly.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/thing-to-do-in-verona\">Verona<\/a>. With a vibrant history, unique cultural legacy (through the plays of William Shakespeare)\u00a0and beautiful architecture, the city is a must-see\u00a0for romantics, history buffs and culture lovers\u00a0alike. Who wouldn&#8217;t want to spend the day\u00a0strolling the UNESCO World Heritage streets where Romeo and Juliet was set, checking out one of Europe&#8217;s most vibrant cafe cultures, or ogling the 2,000 year-old Arena which still hosts\u00a0operas each summer? Verona actually makes a good base from which to explore Northern Italy, but if the singular history and eastern influence in Venice are more your style, your best option is to take a quick and easy day trip from Venice to Verona. Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/div>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walksofitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/arena-561899_1920.jpg\" alt=\"verona arena\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Take_a_Day_Trip_from_Venice_to_Verona\"><\/span>How to Take a Day Trip from Venice to Verona<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though you can certainly drive, the fastest and least stressful option is to take\u00a0a direct\u00a0train from\u00a0Venice to Verona. Trains from\u00a0Venice to Verona run frequently and are extremely cheap. This reflects the fact that many Italians travel between the two cities. Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trenitalia.com\/tcom-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TrenItalia<\/a>, Italy&#8217;s public train services, to see\u00a0the time tables and exact prices of the trains. The trip will run you anywhere from \u20ac8.00 to \u20ac23.00, depending on the speed, time of day, and time of year. When you book your train tickets to Verona you basically have three options. The first is the\u00a0<em>Regionale. <\/em>It&#8217;s the slowest and least expensive train, clocking in at 2 hours and costing you around \u20ac9.00. The second is the\u00a0<em>Regionale Veloce<\/em>, or fast regional train. It costs the same amount, but the trip is faster, getting you from Venice to Verona in\u00a0about 90 minutes. The third and fastest train is the\u00a0<em>Frecciabianca. <\/em>It&#8217;s the only high speed train making the trip from Venice to Verona. It takes just a little over one hour and costs about \u20ac23.00.<\/p>\n<p>When\u00a0booking, be sure to choose a train without any station changes or &#8220;<em>cambi<\/em>&#8220;; this way you&#8217;re sure not to miss your connections and\u00a0lose time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that Venice, one of Italy&#8217;s most beautiful cities, is just a short train ride away from Verona, one of Italy&#8217;s most charming towns?
