The highlight of the night is the spectacular fireworks show that lights up the sky above the Arena — a breathtaking moment you will remember forever.

If you prefer a more relaxed and gourmet evening, Verona’s food scene will delight you. Local restaurants and trattorias offer special New Year’s menus featuring traditional Veronese and Italian dishes paired with the region’s finest wines. Verona is famous for its Amarone and Valpolicella wines — a must for your festive dinner.

Many restaurants host elegant gala dinners with live music, where you can savor dishes like risotto all’Amarone, bollito with pearà, and traditional desserts such as pandoro and panettone.
After dinner, enjoy a stroll through Verona’s illuminated streets for a magical end to the evening.


4. A Night Walk Through Verona’s Historic Streets
New Year’s Eve in Verona isn’t only about concerts and parties — the city itself is an open-air masterpiece. After welcoming the new year, a night walk through the historic center will treat you to enchanting views and a peaceful, romantic atmosphere.
Don’t miss Piazza delle Erbe, with its medieval buildings, or Juliet’s House, famous for its legendary balcony.

Even though New Year’s Eve marks the end of the festivities, many markets and events remain open until early January, so you can continue enjoying the holiday atmosphere the next day.

One of the most popular markets is in Piazza dei Signori, offering handmade items, local specialties, and warm mulled wine—perfect for exploring the city in a festive mood.
