We had a wonderful time in Verona. Thanks to the card, we visited many places we’d only seen online or in Instagram stories.

I did not know Verona had so many beautiful churches, and with the pass I was able to enter every one I wanted and get the audio guide. It allowed me to visit places I wast not even expecting to see. If you are planning to visit the main attractions, the Verona Card is absolutely worth it. But definitely give the lesser known spots a chance too , they will not disappoint.

With a colorful past that includes everything from housing to markets, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking adventure and a taste of the past.

Read on to find out your ideal ticket options, opera prices, what to expect, and all you need to know to plan the best Verona Arena experience.

Why visit Verona Arena?

1/3

Attend an opera under the stars

Delight in a kaleidoscope of experiences within the Verona Arena's hallowed halls. Lose yourself in galas, concerts and ballet shows, and be transported by the soaring melodies of world-class opera performances such as Aida, Carmen, La Boheme and more. Don’t forget to take note of the elegant Italian costumes which pay homage to Italy’s unique traditions.

Experience the grandeur of ancient Rome

Entering Verona Arena, you're thrust into a bygone era where the arena's stone walls once bore witness to the raw intensity of gladiator combat, the spectacle of bullfights, and the grandeur of public games, reminding you of its rich history as a hub of ancient Roman entertainment.

Marvel at ancient architecture

Step into history while strolling through the ancient Roman amphitheater that's been around for over 2000 years. Feel the stories etched into every stone wall and lime entrance, and be amazed by the clever engineering, tiered seating, and Veronese marble. Find yourself in the top rows of the Arena and indulge in beautiful views of the lively Piazza Bra, the tranquil Adige River, and the rolling hills in the distance.

Things to know before booking your Verona Arena tickets

Feeling a bit unsure about which tickets to grab? No worries! Let's break it down with a few things to consider before booking.

Access to opera: The tickets that provide access to the opera cost €65, and ensure 6th Sector numbered seats on the very steps ancient Romans sat on to watch gladiator battles! You’ll also be provided with assistance at Gate no. 7 of the Arena. For comfort, you can bring your own cushion or purchase them at the stall.
Guided tours vs self-guided: Consider opting for the 1 hour guided city tour in Italian, English or German to make sure you catch all the must-see attractions and nearby areas. However, if you're in the mood for adventure and prefer to explore at your own pace, feel free to experience the Arena without a guide!
Standard vs skip-the-line tickets: Standard tickets provide access to the Arena without priority entrance, while skip-the-line tickets offer the convenience of bypassing queues for faster entry. Enter the Verona Arena anytime within its operating hours (9am - 6pm) and save time.
The Verona card to access other historic sites: We particularly recommend the Verona Arena card as it offers priority entry to the Arena as well as free entry to the Roman Arena, the Roman Theater, and Duomo di Verona, among some other interesting historic sites within Verona.
Access for children: Children below the age of 5 are not allowed on the Arena Di Verona Opera Ticket + Guided City Tour as they are not eligible to watch the evening opera performance. Alternatively, the Verona Arena Ticket with City Museums Access allows free entry for those between the ages of 0-17 as long as you can show an ID at the entrance.
