Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
It's important to be realistic about your budget for Verona. Many assume they can visit on a shoestring, but most travelers find that to be very challenging. Think about what matters to you when traveling. Is it staying in a resort, visiting all the attractions, or dining out at nice restaurants? These factors will determine how much you spend on your trip.
What Does It Mean to Be a Budget Traveler?
While you might think you're a budget traveler, without giving up many of your usual comforts, you'll likely need to spend more than the $141 per day that backpackers often spend.
Backpackers often work within this tight budget by staying in hostel dorms, eating fast food or street food, using public transit, and mainly visiting free attractions.
Verona is packed with plenty of hostels, including The Hostello and Gabanel Bike Hostel. At hostels like these, you can enjoy affordable dorm accommodation and a lively social scene, but amenities might be quite minimal. Food also plays a significant role in a visitor's experience to Verona, yet budget travelers might stick to street food or hostel meals, resulting in less exposure to the wonderful culinary scene.
What Makes You an Average Traveler?
Couples and families enjoying a vacation will probably want to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat at popular dining spots, and explore the key museums and attractions that have entry fees. When visiting Verona, you'll want to see Juliet's House, Piazza delle Erbe, or Ponte Scaligero. Keep in mind that most activities cost money. Thus, it's reasonable to expect your daily budget to be around $233 per person, per day.
Verona offers a diverse selection of hotels and vacation rentals. If you're traveling with companions, you can share a hotel room with a partner, friend, or your kids, making it easier on your wallet.

Want to Escape the Daily Grind in Style?

Traveling in Verona
Verona, Italy
Verona, Italy is probably most famous as the setting for Shakespeare's famous play, Romeo and Juliet. It's in northeast Italy in the Veneto region, close to Venice. It's easy to make the trip by train from either Venice or Milan. Verona has many Roman ruins throughout town, most notably, the Arena. The Arena is a large amphitheater that dates back to the first century AD. You also can't visit Verona without stopping by Juliet's House on Via Cappello, just off the Piazza delle Erbe. The balcony is the supposed balcony that inspired the most famous love scene in the play. You can expect to find tourists gathered around with camera, perhaps detracting a little from what might have once been a romantic setting. Other sights in town worth visiting are the Castle Scaligeri, Castelvecchio, Lamberti Tower, Juliet's Tomb, and the small chapel San Giorgetta. If you have the time while you're in town, consider hoping on Bus 41 and heading out to S. Maria di Lourdes Sanctuary. From the edge of Verona's highest hill you can have a stunning view of the surrounding area. It's well worth the trip.
There are some local dishes that are worth sampling in Verona. Pasta dishes made from buckwheat pasta are a favorite, as is a type of pork casserole. If you're particularly daring, horse meat is considered a favorite in these parts and you can find it on some menus around town. Specifically look for a dish called pastisada de caval.
If you want to head to a bar that's not overcrowded with tourists, head to Piazza delle Erbe. Piazza Bra is best avoided as this is the area where you will find most of the crowds and overpriced drinks.
Accommodation is generally much cheaper than nearby Venice, but you should definitely have reservations before arrival. This is particularly important if you are in town on days when there are performances taking place at the Arena, or during the tourist high season.
