Geography of Verona
    
Located in northern Italy, Verona sits strategically at the crossroads between
Northern Europe and the Mediterranean countries of the south. It has an enviable
geographic position and enjoys a pleasant climate year round. Temperatures range
from 18C to 28C in summer and 0C to 7C in winter.
Surrounded by green hills and the meandering Adige River, Verona has a special
relationship with nature. Nestled in the rolling hills of Valpolicella (a region
famed for its production of quality wines), Verona is perfumed by the surrounding
countryside and the nearby alpine mountains - both of which, as they change
through the seasons, effect a change upon the city centre.
To the north of the city, the sweep of the river valley and the pre-Alpine
climate combine to create an impressive mountainous landscape that continues
all the way to the spectacular Dolomite mountains. To the south, by contrast,
extends the great Lombardy plain, a flat expanse as far as the eye can see,
repeatedly cut by the massive sway of the River Po (Italy's longest and most
famous river).
A few kilometres from Verona sits Lake Garda, Italy's largest (and deepest)
lake. Lake Garda's wonderfully temperate climate and typically Mediterranean
flora have long made it the preferred playground of locals and the savoured
summer destination of tourists from around the world.
Verona is found in the Veneto region of Italy, an area as equally rich in beautiful
landscapes as it is in great cities of art and culture. The principal highway
lies between Verona and Venezia, reaching to Trieste. The important road and
railway links are Verona (Bologna-Brennero and Milano-Venezia) and Padua. Venice
is the most important Adriatic port and is the third-largest in Italy after
Genoa and Naples. The Porto Marghera is important industrial port serving local
industries.
