Default Italy (Verona-Parma)

I have to travel from Verona to Parma early next week.
What is the best way to get there without a car?

train verona /modena
train modena/parma

or
train verona/bologna
train bologna/parma

the second alternative is longer but you have many more trains.
parma modena bologna are on the main line
Milano/bologna

By train, the two quickest departures next Tuesday morning seem to be at
09.03, changing at Modena, arriving 11.19, and at 09.21, changing at
Brescia, arriving at 11.43. I suspect that Monday may possibly be a public
holiday (Monday after Pentecost).

By train:
www.trenitalia.it
(the website don't work with my mozilla browser, so I can't check
timetables for you)

The 2nd of june is holiday in Italy and train timetables could change
but I hope that the website will consider this.

If you need to move from airport to railway station and from the
railway station to other places in town and don't want to use a taxi,
you can check:
http://www.amt.it/linee_orari/index_lineeOrari.asp
(verona's bus timetables)
and for Parma
http://www.tep.pr.it/html/orari/list...sta-urbane.asp
(lines inside the city)
http://www.tep.pr.it/orariextraurbani/ricerca.asp
(lines outside the city)

All the webpages are in Italian but I hope you'll be able to use them
knowning the basic terms:
orario - timetable
partenza - departure
arrivo - arrival
linea - line
orario festivo - timetable for holydays (sunday and other holydays)
orario feriale - it's for timetables during the week

They have "orario invernale" for winter and "orario estivo" for summer
and the swith between te two timetables is at the beginning of june, so
check wich timetable you need depending on the day you will arrive in
Verona or Parma.
