Does anyone have any other hotel suggestions for Verona ? I'm working my way through Tripadvisor and Virtualtourist, but 1st hand recommendations from AAM are worth a lot more . . .
Our plan is to go to 2 performances in the Arena in August. I presume (but don't know) that the 20,000 people coming out after midnight cause a bit of traffic/taxi/transport chaos, so I think we would be looking for somewhere within walking distance of the arena. I imagine a lot of other people are also thinking the same though . . .
I don't want to compromise and get somewhere that is near at the expense of being too small or having no cafe/bar/lounge area to sit around in.
Any other hints for going to the opera there ? I gather from other reviews that the un-reserved seats aren't up to much because they are a) unreserved so you have to be there early, b) cramped, c) hard, d) sideways on, e) a long way from the stage and so on . . . As a result I think we will be going for some of the premuim (€100+ seats).
Cheers,
