Overnight stay at the airport

Can you spend the night at Verona airport (VRN)? Opening hours, rest areas and services for long layovers. See also the airport guide for general information.

Due to its strategic location, Verona Airport is a common place for overnight stays, especially for passengers with early-morning low-cost flights. Although Terminal 1 remains open 24 hours a day, the resting experience is limited and requires preparation.

Is it possible to spend the night at the airport?

Yes, Terminal 1 (Departures) remains open throughout the night. It is important to keep your passport and flight reservation handy, as security staff usually carry out night checks and may ask for proof of travel from those staying in the terminal.

Rest areas

Sleeping comfort in the public area is limited due to the seating infrastructure:

  • Seating: Most metal benches have fixed armrests, which prevents lying down fully. Travellers often choose the floor; if you opt for this, it is advisable to bring a mat or blankets, as the floor can be very cold during winter.
  • Recommended areas: Some passengers report that areas near the check-in counters and corners of closed cafés in the public area offer a bit more peace and quiet.
  • Lighting and noise: Lights remain on and public address announcements are made periodically. An eye mask and earplugs are essential for better rest.

Services available 24 hours a day

  • Food: There are no food outlets open during the early hours of the morning. However, vending machines selling snacks, coffee and cold drinks are available throughout Terminal 1.
  • Connectivity: The free and unlimited Wi-Fi service remains active throughout the night.
  • Hygiene: Toilets are available, and baby care facilities are accessible 24 hours a day. There are no showers in the public areas.

Luggage and Security

Important: The airport does not offer luggage lockers or a left luggage service. You must keep your belongings with you at all times until the check-in counters open (generally 2 or 3 hours before your flight). This significantly limits mobility if you are travelling with large suitcases.

More comfortable alternatives

If you are looking for quality rest, the best option within the airport are the ZzzleepandGo cabins in Terminal 2.

Services and opening hours can change. If you plan to sleep in the public area, have a plan B: some airports only let passengers with a flight stay overnight.

Tips for a long layover

  1. Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Italy and whether your bags are checked through.
  2. If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
  3. A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at VRN.
  4. Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
  5. Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from VRN (12 km to Verona), and check which services run at night.
