A car hire in Verona from Auto Europe gives you the opportunity to discover this wonderful region of Veneto. Explore this romantic city and enjoy the walk to the San Zeno Maggiore Church where the breath-taking frescos, bronze doors, and crypt will leave you wondering. Walk to the Arena with its pink tinged marble giving way to an open air opera house. From here, you are right in Piazza Bra which is the central piazza in Verona, where you can enjoy all that Verona has to offer you from cafés, bars, and restaurants. Sit down and watch the world go by.

You can also drive west for about 30 minutes to Peschiera del Garda, a small town on the southern end of Lake Garda, where you can view the town's island fortress and explore the lake. You could drive further up the lake stopping at Bardolino where you can sample some local wines, especially, during the season from September to October. For one day trips, take your car hire from Verona to Bologna or Pisa and explore more of Italy, or for a longer journey, go on a road trip to Lake Garda.
