I am trying to figure out the bus from Verona to Pescantina and back. We are spending a night in Pescantina. Bus 102 now goes from Verona to Pescantina. I am learning Italian but this is a bit beyond me. I think the ride takes 30 minutes. I believe it leaves near the train station in Verona and arrives at a school in Pescantina. I am trying to see how often it runs so that I can figure out the logistics of returning to Verona to take the train to Florence. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Linda,
Getting to Pescantina appears to be relatively easy, since it's only about 11 kM from Verona. The Bus station appears to be at Verona Porta Nuova station (probably just outside the station), which is the main station in the city. It's a relatively easy walk from Piazza Bra to the station, but you could also take a Taxi or Bus.
The schedules I checked indicated that route 101 was the one to use for Pescantina, and the travel time appears to be about 35 minutes. There appears to be two different stops, Pescantina Via Pascoli and Pescantina capitello. I'm not sure of the difference between them, but hopefully Roberto will spot this Thread as I'm sure he'll have lots of good information to add.
As with most Buses in Italy, there will be different departure times for Feriale (working days), Festiva (holidays), etc.
With such a short distance, I might also consider a Taxi (depending on budget at the time).
Cheers!
