The little tourist train to Verona
The Verona tourist train promises to give you a tour of the city, for just under 4 euro for a 40-50 minute journey. You catch it in the Piazza Bra, just in front of the entrance to the Maffeiano Museum. If I remember correctly, it comes every hour. We caught it at 12:30, and it rests a while between tours. But the truth is, it's not very comfortable to rest - if you have back problems, it's better to give it a miss altogether. As for the journey, the train takes us to the Castelveccio, then goes back on a long, scenic route through the city. It crosses one of the bridges and passes near the Roman Theatre.
The entire route is in the modern part of the city, so that apart from Castelveccio there's not much to see that's particularly interesting. When we got off the train, we decided to head to Castelveccio on foot, expecting it to be quite a walk given how long the train had taken to get there ... but to our surprise, it was just a 10 minute walk away. We were left feeling a bit ripped off.
