Greetings! My husband and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary and spending 3 weeks in Italy (we've never been before). We're flying in to Venice for 4 nights, then taking the train to Verona for 3 nights (then on to Florence 5 nights, Rome 4 nights, Sorrento 4 nights, Naples 1 night). Dates: April 13 to May 4th.
Our accommodations are set, but now I'm questioning staying in Verona for 3 nights - reading that it's touristy and pricey and doesn't sound like there's much to do for 3 full days (since there will be no opera).
Soooooo....I'm looking for suggestions for day trips (maybe 2) from Verona by train or bus (Or maybe even with a driver unless that's super expensive) that are not terribly commercial and touristy ? We hadn't planned on going to the Dolomites or Lake area, but those locations look beautiful. Just worried if they are too touristy and commercial in the Lake area? I also have bad knees, so a place that is not overflowing with stairs is good for me, if possible.
Thanks for any input!!
Tracy
