All Months
Opera season runs from June to September, transforming the entire city. Hotel prices spike, but the energy is incredible – you'll hear arias drifting from restaurant speakers and see people in evening wear heading to Arena di Verona. Book accommodations months ahead during this period. Spring (April-May) offers perfect weather and fewer crowds. The hills around Verona turn green, and restaurant terraces reopen. Fall brings harvest season in nearby Valpolicella wine region – perfect for day trips. Winter is quiet but charming, especially around Christmas when Piazza dei Signori hosts a small market. Just know that many restaurants close for vacation in January. Summer heat can be intense in the amphitheater, but evening performances start at 9 PM when temperatures cool.
