Things to know before choosing your Verona Arena seats

If you're aiming for the budget-friendly option on the stone steps, keep in mind it's first-come, first-served! Arriving early ensures you grab your preferred spot hassle-free.
The best seats are the Poltronissime, with Poltronissima Platinum in the central seats of the first 20 rows.
Poltronissima Gold are to the sides and rear of Platinum, Poltronissime Silver are behind Gold, and Poltronissima Standard are beside Gold. Surrounding them are the Poltrone. The Verdi Sector seats are on the first tier of steps around the arena, offering proper seats with backs.
Although the stone steps offer a budget-friendly option and provide a glimpse into how ancient Romans watched events in the arena, it's important to note that the lack of backrests can make it uncomfortable, especially since the shows are long and span hours.
