Very central to Verona. Imposing building. We didn’t have to queue to get in and reasonable fee. Once in you can climb up and out into the arena area and also find out a bit more about the building including that it is largely rebuilt with only a small section remaining as original. It is now used as a venue for theatre and other entertainment. do like these buildings however there is very little to see and after a short while of wandering through the seats we left.

Great place and lots of history Too bad there wasn’t a lot of information on it. Me if the oldest amphitheatres yet such little information for others to learn about your beautiful town’s rich history. It’s a shame and costs so little to cure. Very few signs Good value if you have the verona card but otherwise 10 euros for visit alone is too expensive

I have to said that we went to the opera three nights in a row (Carmen, Madame Butterfly and Aida). Maybe I like one opera more than another one, but the full experience is similar and in all cases was outstanding! Please choose careful your tickets and like in any place higher prices give you better location, view, seats! Second, security and dress code are clearly described in the tickets, just take the time to read it! You see so many “fancy dressed” people there that it is understandable why flip flops and other very informal dressing is not allow! It is a fancy performance! Of course sound is not the same as you will be getting in the Kennedy Center in DC, but, the setting, the open Arena de Verona! Is worth the sacrifice! All to say, WE LOVED IT!! Each performance was fantastic, environment was great! Long but unforgettable nights in Verona. If only one recommendation, the captions are difficult to follow and the location is complicated. However, it does not take away the amazing experience!

There was quite a queue for tickets, but with the Verona Card you can skip it. I also reserved an entrance slot online, but they didn't seem interested in checking that when I entered. The structure is impressive, and definitely worth having on your itinerary. Nice views over the square and bits of the old town too from the top.

This arena is historic and iconic to Verona. It's pretty expensive, though, to attend the opera and really makes a hole in your pocket. Seating us numbered and very squashed and not comfortable at all. We came out earlier, but of course, it's an experience you don't have every other day. So, it is a must to do activity.

The arena is a gorgeous piece of roman architecture with multiple arches and corridors inside. It is a strange mix of the old and new as it is still used for productions. When we visited we enjoyed the insterior views as the stage crew were getting it ready for the next production. Strange by amazing.

Make sure you purchase a Verona Card €25 at the ticket office, this card then gives you free access to Verona's best museums and attractions, making it a great way to help you to save money. Buy one for either 24 or 48 hours, but remember once first use your card the clocks starts. The Arena is interesting to visit, we spent about 45 minutes exploring this vast 1stcentury amphitheatre.

When in Verona you must see inside the Arena - while I had seen it before many years ago I went again. This time, the queue was not long so we tried one morning and got in in ten minutes, what was even better was that the clerk gave us O.A.P. tickets and we got in for€7.50. We walked to the top and around and there were great views over the city. We had to try several entrances before we found the way out, all side gates were barred.

Lovely preserved Roman Arena that is currently used for opera productions in the summer. Out of season, there were some renovations, that prevented access to all open areas. You can explore the tunnels, climb to the top and view the city. The steps can be a bit tall, so take care when moving up and down. You can definitely get an idea of how quickly crowds could disperse in the Roman days, when there were many more exits/entrances open. You can easily access through the Verona Card. A must-see in Verona.

Similarly, to other public museums/historical places we visited in Venice and Verona, there is a lack of informational signs. There are a few near the entrance but it is very easy to miss them. There is not a standard route to follow but instead, you can walk in any direction you want around the arena. There isn’t much to do there, apart from walking around the seats of the Arena (when we visited, they were getting ready for an event, so the experience was very authentic). We spend around 30 minutes there and although there is a (not very long) queue to enter we could skip it with our Verona card.
