BY CAR
The historic city centre of Verona is fairly compact, and so it is easy to visit without having to use your own car. Over the past few years the City Council authorities have encouraged local residents to limit their traffic circulation as much as possible in the city centre so as to reduce the worrying level of fine dust pollution in the air. Hardest hit by this form of pollution are young children and the elderly, and so it is in all of our interests to make a small effort to limit our use of motor vehicles as much as possible knowing that in the end it is our own health – which is our most precious gift – that stands to gain. At certain times of the year when the quality of the air is particularly bad, special measures to further reduce the circulation of private vehicles may be enforced.

Residents in Verona have understood the importance of these issues, and let’s hope that the citizens of the world who have chosen Verona as their holiday destination will support their commitment as well. You can travel through our city on foot, by bicycle, or even…..by canoe – all of which give you the chance to soak up all those many small and unforgettable views tucked away between the buildings’ facades and the curves of the river, and which make our city so very unique.
Enjoy the city centre is an initiative organised by the Verona City Council and is directed at both residents and tourists alike, with the aim of improving urban mobility. This project includes the closure of the historical city centre on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. To find out more click here.
