Time needed: a full day
In summer: the opera festival at the Arena
From Centrale, high-speed trains reach Verona Porta Nuova in just over an hour. From the station to the centre it’s about a 20-minute walk or a few minutes by bus.
The Roman amphitheatre towers over Piazza Bra. In summer it hosts the famous opera festival: seeing an opera under the stars is a unique experience, but if you’re heading back to Milan the same night, check the time of the last train.
Cross the Roman Ponte Pietra and climb up to Castel San Pietro for the finest view over the city and the Adige river, perfect at sunset.
