The best times to visit Verona are April to May or September to October. These spring and fall months straddle the city’s manic peak tourism season, and they also escape the summer’s sweltering temperatures. The average maximum daytime temperature lies around 24.4°C (75.9°F).

The Euro is the official currency in Italy which can be considered one of the less expensive countries in Europe.

Shops are open from 9.30/10 a.m. until 7.30/8 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Shopping centers are open on Sundays too, as well as most shops in the city center.

In Verona you will find such a variety of restaurants, as well as wineries, offering the best tastes of food and wine from all the region.

In Italy the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Italy, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 220 – 240 V (as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100 V – 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries), you need a voltage converter in Italy. You can also consider a combined power plug adapter/voltage converter.
