== CouchSurfing in Verona ==

The CS community has grown up considerably from the end of 2008, even if it has been existing since 2006. Now (November 2009) there are about 244 Couchsurfers in Verona and the community is pretty active, with many members happy to host and organize meetings.


=== Tips ===

''Left-luggage''

There is a luggage deposit the main railway station: just near the taxi entrance, open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Prices per piece of luggage is 4 € for the first 5 hours then from 6th to 12th hour 0,60 € per hour and then 0,20 € for 13th onward.


=== Meetings ===

The Verona group is pretty active and often organizes gatherings and events where guests are welcome. It can be a dinner, a welcome-back/farewell party, an informal meeting in a pub, a hiking in the mountains, a reading group... there's a lot of choice, and everyone can propose something, just writing in the Verona Group.
