Two-day city break in Verona by Frecciarossa train from Switzerland

Illustration of Verona

Railtour Suisse packages a two-day escape to Verona, the medieval Italian city famous for the Romeo and Juliet legend and its monumental Roman arena. The journey begins with a Frecciarossa train, departing daily from Zurich and arriving in Verona in just over 5 hours; travelers from Bern or Basel can join via connections through Milan. One night's accommodation is included. The Arena of Verona, one of the world's most renowned ancient amphitheaters with capacity for over 15,000 spectators, anchors the visit, it hosts the Verona Opera Festival each summer. Beyond the amphitheater, the old town draws visitors through narrow streets lined with osterias, wine bars, and boutiques, where the legacy of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers remains woven into the city's identity. The package suits couples seeking a romantic getaway, history enthusiasts drawn to Roman ruins and Renaissance architecture, and travelers who want to sample northern Italian wine and regional food in an unhurried two-day frame.
