How to get to Port Nuova from Verona Airport

The distance from Verona Airport to the railway station is about 12 km, and between them in the daytime a special shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes.

Tickets can be purchased at vending machines in the airport arrivals hall, directly on board with the driver or on the ATV website.

The second option is to call a taxi. You can catch a car directly at the terminal or order it by the Internet when your flight arrives.

In the second case, the price will be about the same, but they will meet you with a sign in the arrivals area, help with things, and also will not take anything from above if the flight is delayed.

In addition, when ordering a taxi online, the cost is calculated automatically and does not change subsequently. This avoids cheating by local drivers.
