Practical tips
High-speed fares on this route climb as the travel date nears, and the cheapest seats go first. Book as soon as your plans are fixed, and compare Trenitalia and Italo before paying a last-minute fare.
Rome has more than one major station. Look at your ticket to see whether the train arrives at Roma Termini or Roma Tiburtina, and plan your onward metro or taxi from there, especially if your hotel is near Termini.
Verona Porta Nuova is the city's main station and the departure point for long-distance trains. Don't confuse it with smaller stops. Arrive a little early, check the departure board for your platform, and validate paper tickets if required.
The coach is the cheapest option and works well if you are not in a hurry or prefer an overnight journey. Check the exact departure and arrival stops on your booking before you travel, as they can differ from train stations.
A flight is quick in the air, but you still need to reach the airport, check in and get into Rome at the other end. Compare the whole journey door to door before choosing it over the train.
The journey experience
Verona to Rome is a long haul down the length of the country, but the choice is simple once you see the options side by side. The high-speed train is the default for most travellers, the coach is the budget pick if you have time to spare, and the plane only makes sense in certain cases. The table on this page compares duration, price and frequency so you can decide in seconds.
The train, run by Trenitalia and Italo, takes you from central Verona to central Rome with no airport transfers. Seats are comfortable, there is room for luggage, and you can walk around or work on the way. The coach is the cheapest way to travel and suits flexible or overnight plans, but it spends a long time on the motorway. The flight is quickest in the air, yet getting to the airport, checking in and transferring into the city eat into that advantage.
For most trips, book the train early, because fares rise as the departure date approaches. Check which Rome station your ticket arrives at, since both Roma Termini and Roma Tiburtina handle long-distance trains. On this end the departure is simple, as trains leave from Verona Porta Nuova. You can book online with instant confirmation.
