Half-Day Trip to Verona: The Ultimate Guide 🇮🇹✨

🚗 Getting There Bologna → Verona: ~1h45m drive Parking: Parcheggio Interrato CITTADELLA | APCOA (paid via highway toll card) 🍽️ Lunch Spot 📍 Locanda 4 Cuochi (Michelin ⭐) Cost: €85 for two Verdict: Absolutely divine—must try! 🌆 Sightseeing Highlights 1️⃣ Lamberti Tower Ticket: €4.50 (student) Review: Views were nice, but mesh fences ruined photos. Not worth €4.50—we left in <10 mins. 2️⃣ Basilica di Sant’Anastasia Ticket: €4 Skipped it to chase the sunset—but looked stunning! 3️⃣ Castel San Pietro (✨ Best Part!) Funicular: €2 one-way (rode up, walked down—easy 10-min descent) View: Gorgeous, but crowded + hazy (thanks, Italian smog…). At least the sunset peeked through! 💘 Juliet’s House Verdict: Too packed! Didn’t get why everyone groped the statue’s chest (she’s a teen…). Tickets needed to enter—book ahead! 🍦 Gelato Break 📍 Amorino Gelato Order: Rose-shaped gelato + macaron + water = €13.50 Review: Tasty but overpriced—one-time treat. 💭 Final Thoughts "Verona stole my heart! Quiet, clean (unlike Bologna 😅), perfect for a leisurely stroll." #ItalyTravel #Verona #FoodieFinds #StudyAbroad #EuropeDiaries
