Cheap Verona Hotels
What to see by car: Verona
    
From Verona, it is convenient to explore the other treasures of the Veneto region.
The historically important towns of Padua, Vicenza, Montagnana, Cittadella and
Castelfranco are all popular destinations for daytrips.
The largest and most southerly of Italy's great lakes, Garda, is a short distance
from Verona and makes for a great day out. Take a picnic, walk in the mountains
or wander around the charming Roman spa town of Sirmione, with its cobbled streets,
elegant cafés and fairytale castle of Rocca Scaligera.
Step back in time with a visit to a few of the magnificent world famous Palladian
villas that are dotted in the plains and rolling countryside around Vicenza
and Padua. Villa Rotonda, an exquisite domed property in the hills south of
Vicenza, designed by the leading 16th century architect, Palladio, is definitely
worth the trip.
For medieval architecture, head to Montagnana, southeast of Verona, and Soave
with its battlemented town walls, towers and fine palaces. Stop for a leisurely
lunch with a glass or two of its well known white wine.
For real wine connoisseurs, Verona is the hub of a thriving wine-producing
region and plays host to VinItaly, the country's major wine fair. Spend some
time visiting the many vineyards and tasting some of the renowned Valpolicella
wines at San't Ambrogio di Valpolicella, just west of Verona.
If you're staying in Verona during the annual Venice Carnivale, strike out
early - the city is just 80kms east of Verona and makes for a brilliant daytrip.
Soak up the carnival's electric party atmosphere and enjoy the colourful masked
processions that make Venice's most spectacular extravaganza an unforgettable
event. In Cannaregio, artisans still make carnival masks using the traditional
papier-mâché technique.
The chic resort of Venice Lido, just 15 minutes by boat from the heart of Venice,
is ideal if you want to mix city sights with a beach holiday.
