Public Transport with the Verona Card

- Free cancellation until the day before
- Instant confirmation by email
The Verona Card as a Public Transport Ticket
The card is activated on first use and is then valid for 24 or 48 hours. During this period you can use all city buses run by the ATV transport company as often as you like. However, the Verona Card is only valid within the city area - regional buses and the airport shuttle are not included. The funicular railway (Castel San Pietro) is also excluded.
Practical Use
Hold your Verona Card against the ticket scanner on the bus when boarding, until a signal confirms validation. This activates the card and its validity begins. At every transfer you must hold the card to the reader again. Ticket inspection: keep the card ready - showing it during an inspection is sufficient as proof of a valid ticket. Without validation, you risk a fine. The Verona Card is also non-transferable - each traveller needs their own card.
Timetable and Public Transport App
Verona's city buses run roughly from 05:00 until midnight. In the late evening and on Sundays and public holidays, a reduced timetable applies - many lines run less frequently or under different numbers (90-series lines cover evening and Sunday services). There are no night buses after midnight, so plan your return journeys before 24:00. For route planning and up-to-date information, use the official ATV app "Ticket Bus Verona" (for Android and iOS). The app shows timetables (including real-time data) and stops, and lets you buy digital tickets as well.
Key Routes for Visitors
- From the airport: the shuttle bus Airlink (Line 199) connects Verona Airport with Porta Nuova (the main train station). The Verona Card is not valid here - a separate ticket is required.
- Station to city centre: from Porta Nuova station, it's just a few minutes to the Arena (Piazza Bra). Bus lines 11-13 cover this route, among others. In the evening and on Sundays and public holidays, lines 90, 92, 96-98 take over.
- Sights further out: more distant attractions are easy to reach by bus. For Castelvecchio, lines 21-24 run to the castle. You can also reach the Roman Theatre and Castel San Pietro by bus (Line 73 gets you close, then it's a short walk).
- Transfer hubs: the main bus hub is Porta Nuova (main train station). In the city centre, Piazza Bra (Arena) serves as the central transfer point where many lines converge.
