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.

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.
