Shuttle 11:00–17:15 · relaxed city day
Day 8 · Verona city centre
The 11:00 shuttle from Crowne Plaza gives roughly five hours in central Verona before the 17:15 pickup. Monday's plan prioritises the Arena exterior, historic squares, Castelvecchio Bridge and Ponte Pietra.
The plan
One coherent city walk with a comfortable time buffer
Several museums close on Mondays, so today works best as a relaxed outdoor walk. Be back at the shuttle stop no later than 16:55.
- 01
11:15–12:00: Start at Piazza Bra and see the Arena exterior, then walk to Castelvecchio and cross Ponte Scaligero.
- 02
12:00–13:00: Walk back through the centre and have lunch between Piazza Bra and Piazza delle Erbe.
- 03
13:00–15:15: Follow Via Mazzini, see Juliet's House from outside if access is open, then continue through Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori and the Scaliger Tombs.
- 04
15:15–16:10: Continue to Ponte Pietra for views along the Adige. Turn around here rather than adding the steep climb to Castel San Pietro.
- 05
16:10–16:55: Walk back towards the shuttle stop, stop for gelato and arrive at least 20 minutes early.
- 06
After the hotel: If everyone still has energy, drive to Lazise for the Old Town, harbour, dinner and sunset. Park outside the ZTL, for example at Parcheggio Marra.
ABRP recalculates the route and charging stops. Weather, speed, temperature and actual battery level can change the result.
Dates and guests are pre-filled: 2 adults and one 14-year-old child in 1 room. Parking is selected as a filter.
Worth seeing
Stops and experiences along the way
These are candidates, not a checklist. Energy, weather and traffic decide what actually fits the day.
Piazza Bra and the Arena
Verona's grand meeting place and Roman landmark. On Monday, enjoying the Arena exterior fits the day well.
Official visitor information ↗Castelvecchio and Ponte Scaligero
The distinctive medieval bridge gives a beautiful free view over the Adige even while the museum is closed.
Verona's bridges ↗Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori
The city's finest connected public spaces, with the market, palaces and Scaliger Tombs close together.
Official visitor information ↗Ponte Pietra
The Roman bridge is a natural turnaround point with lovely views along the river.
Verona's bridges ↗Lazise on Lake Garda
A more realistic evening option than Sirmione: walk through the medieval gate to Porto Vecchio, have dinner and enjoy the lakeside promenade at sunset.
