The main stations, such as Verona Porta Nuova, are modern and well connected, but at peak times they can be crowded, and not all routes are immediate for those carrying heavy suitcases.

In this guide you will find useful tips to manage your luggage at best in Verona: from transport limits on public transport to storage services at the station and at strategic points in the centre, all the way to door-to-door delivery solutions that allow you to explore the city in lightness and freedom.

Luggage and public transport in Verona

By train: Regional and high-speed trains passing through Verona Porta Nuova are modern and well equipped, but they offer limited space for very bulky suitcases. On Frecciarossa and Italo trains there are luggage racks above the seats and dedicated spaces at the ends of the carriages, ideal for trolleys and medium-sized suitcases. Each passenger can carry up to two pieces of luggage (in addition to backpacks or personal bags), with a maximum weight of around 30 kg per item.

By bus: The ATV urban buses in Verona do not have ample areas for large luggage and can be crowded, especially during rush hours. It is recommended to travel with backpacks or light bags. Extra-urban buses and those connecting the city to the airport, on the other hand, have external luggage compartments, generally with a limit of one or two items per passenger.

By plane: The airlines operating at Aeroporto Valerio Catullo di Verona Villafranca apply different policies. Traditional carriers often include a checked bag in the price, while low-cost airlines have additional charges or stricter restrictions. It is always advisable to check the conditions of the flight before departure.

By taxi: Verona's taxis offer spacious boots and represent a comfortable choice to reach your accommodation, especially if you are travelling with several suitcases or arriving at evening hours. Fares are regulated and taxi ranks are easily found at the station and at the airport.

With a rental car: Renting a car can be an ideal choice if you plan to explore the province or the nearby wine areas of the Valpolicella, Lago di Garda or the medieval villages of the surroundings. It will allow you to avoid the inconvenience of carrying luggage on public transport and to travel with full freedom.
