Weather

Positioned between the rolling plains of the Veneto, the Dolomite mountains and scenic Lake Garda, Verona enjoys a mild climate year-round. The city can be hot, humid and somewhat energy-sapping in summer (thanks to the proximity of the lake), so you'll probably want to break your sightseeing with stops for drinks and/or gelati. In July and August the humidity can bring cracking storms in the evening.

Winter daytime temperatures are cool, but January, February and March see the least rainfall, so you may strike it lucky with days that are crisp and stunning - perfect for sightseeing followed by vino in a cosy bar. The most agreeable temperatures occur in spring and autumn, but this coincides with the rainiest months, so don't forget to pack an umbrella.
