Veronetta is located east of the historic centre of Verona Italy, and connected by several bridges, but the Ponte Pietra is probably the best one! The Romans built the original version of the bridge, but it was destroyed during WW2, luckily it was rebuilt afterward and is still quite beautiful.
This area is a nice place to stay for travelers coming to the city on a budget. There are many students in Veronetta as the University is located here, and you will find plenty of affordable accommodation options and a lively atmosphere.
The small narrow streets are home to a couple of colorful villas, bars, restaurants, and shops, all located within walking distance of one another and good budget choices for all types of travelers. Ensure you explore the area and climb up the hill to the 19th century San Pietro Castel, built by the Austrians. Although there isn’t much left of this historical landmark, you’ll love the epic view from the top of Verona, Italy.
If you need a break from the city atmosphere, head to the Giusti Garden and take a relaxing walk in this beautiful place, dating back to the 1400s. It perfectly represents the Italian style, and you can visit the apartment located in the villa here, which has the best interior design!

5. San Zeno – where to stay for an authentic experience
Located west of the historic center of Verona, the San Zeno area will offer you that cool authentic vibe of the city with its many markets and souvenir shops. The area is organized around the Basilica of San Zeno, and you’ll spot a lot of 16th century Renaissance architecture around the neighborhood.
If you stay in Verona in this neighborhood, you can visit The Basilica of San Zeno! It dates back to the 5th century but other parts were done by the end of the 11th century. If you choose to go inside (which I highly recommend), you can see the San Zeno Altarpiece made by the Renaissance painter Andrea Mantegna, the style of this art piece is beautiful!
There’s a piazza outside the Basilica and here is where you’ll find tons of antique shopping spots in the market during the weekend. I love going to a new place and getting a unique piece of jewelry or a cool book; they make such cool souvenirs!
If you want to take a break from all the city activities (I always need one even if I travel to a lovely town), this area is one of the best places to stay as you can head down to the park and have a good relaxing afternoon in San Zeno! I recommend booking all the places to stay in San Zeno in advance, they sell out super quickly as the location is so good and you’re close to the historic centre of Verona.

This area is located in the southern part of the city and Verona Fiere is actually the name of the event venue located here. If you are coming to the city to attend an exhibition or a wine producer’s event, you probably want to stay at one of the best hotels in Verona located nearby!
The neighborhood looks very modern and urban, with tons of newly constructed buildings. The hotels in Verona here are numerous and range from luxury to budget as they are designed for people who are coming for conventions and other things.
If you’ve visited Verona before and you don’t want to stay in the heart of the city, then this area is good for you as it’s located a bit further away from the historic centre of Verona. I also recommend staying in this neighborhood if you’re traveling for business and don’t want to lose a lot of time by entering the busy parts of the city.
