I hope to visit Verona between Christmas and New Year, making day trips to Venice and Mantova, what is the public transport system like at this time of year ? Any advice appreciated. Thank you
Train to/for Verona will be running like usual (see the schedule on www.trenitalia.com).
Buses will stop on Xmas day and Jan 1st, for the rest they should work as usual. Keep in mind that Dec 26th is holyday, so sunday schedule applies.
Ciao
Francesco
it will be very easy to go to both venice and mantua from verona by train - in verona the busses are outside the station (tabacchi shop inside station for tickets. the train will deposit you outside the canal and the vaporetto station just to the right when you go down the steps - in mantua when you get off the train it is an easy walk to the major sites - all in all very convenient, easily done - verona is my favorite city in all of italy - if need a place to stay, email my friend federica - info@lospite.com - she is reasonable, helpful, clean and mentioned in rick steves - mantua is a really neat city - the home of andrea mantegna - and some interesting palazzos and churches.
enjoy
Thank you both - this is the first time I have used ANY forum - how good is this !- Really useful
See the Teatro Romano (Roman Theater) and the Museo Archeologico (Archeoligal Museum). It dates back to the time of Augustus when Verona was a strong Roman outpost. A small Archeological Museum housed above the Teatro in an old monastery is included in the admission ticket. Photo above is taken from the museum looking down on the Verona.< For more information and photos, please go to the Teatro Romano Travelogue.
To get to the enclosed and monitored part of the archeological museum you can either walk or take a lift.
Its setting is actually an old monastery and the featured displays are in the rooms set around a courtyard.
The Jesuit order's premises became a museum in 1923.
Many of the bronzes come from the collection of Earl Jacopo Verita when he started acquiring around 1770. This particular piece, from Isola della Scala and dated 11th century AD shows Hercules fighting against the Lybic giant Anteus, son of the goddess Earth. He raises Anteus, thus denying him contact with his mother, who would have given him strength.
These small bronzes of gods were produced from Roman times to be offered to the gods in small sanctuaries.
Other statues were merely decorative, used as ornaments or as objet d'art in the houses of the rich.
explore the medieval RAGIONE PALACE.
The postcard (taken from my personal collection) below shows the quaint looking Maffei Stairs.
Do you know that this city was founded in the pre-Roman period on the Adige river banks and was a very important trading center during the Roman times?? I just found this out not too long ago. Once you join a city tour, the local guide will be able to tell you everything you ever wanted to know (but were afraid to ask!) about this lovely Italian city and its equally-charming Palace.
In the entrance of the building, where you may see the famous (BUT false) balcony , where Giulietta Capelletti met Romeo Montecchi, you may stick your Love-letters on a wall , where you may find already thousands of other love-letters.
To post your love-letters there is to be said to be some sort of a guarantee for a love lasting forever....
....so take your chance, as even writings directely on the wall seem to be working well !!
I was ill-prepared to spend some months in Verona. I was never under the impression that it rained so much there, especially during the summer. Hence, I brought barely any warm clothes and only a small rainjacket. A big umbrella would have done me some good, as it poured continuously throughout the months of August and September. There were many occasions in which I was walking home and ended up getting drenched. It even hailed one night and the winds were so turbulent that it caused the ceiling in my building to collapse. Talk about a freak accident.
