Landing late at Verona and staying on Lake Garda: how to get there tonight
I land at Verona at 22:00 and I'm staying in Malcesine. How do I get there?
Not your flight? Plan your own Verona arrival.
Plan your own →Lake Garda's towns are close to Verona Airport, but public transport to the lake stops in the evening. The Aerobus only goes as far as Verona station.
Most rental desks at Verona stay open until 22:30 or 23:00, so collecting a car is often still possible after a late flight.

Other ways to do it
Not possible at this time
- Bus and train: To catch the last connection to Lake Garda you need to be out of arrivals by 18:30; you're out at about 22:40. A transfer or a hotel near the airport are the usual fallbacks.
Prices are estimates for comparison. Desk hours and timetables change, so confirm with the operator before you travel. How we work this out
