This is and incredible 2 thousand year old arena in the heart of Verona , a true gem of Italy. Make sure you get the seat cushions before the show starts. Trust me, that you will not regret it.

Kseniia Popova

Opera festival is so good, quality and exiting!! Professional orchestra and other musicians and so kind, cool atmosphere. Everyone should visit this kind of performance , you'll be full of emotions.

Clive McNabb

Beautiful arena and indeed a gem of Verona. The opera is top quality although the seats are hard not only in the more expensive seats but especially in the unreserved area. Oh and an umbrella!!

Joel Majlergaard

Yes YesIt is an excellent idea, which pipes a deeply when it is first time you see an opera.The Lady and the undersigned can only recommend this place and this spectacle.

Matteo Penzo

Opera here is pure magic. Good tickets must be bought months in advance.

Grazyna O

Saw Aïda here at an Opera festival . Impressive experience. Tickets easily available on site. Go either for the expensive or the cheapest tickets. Outdoors. They need to paus if it starts to rain.

Pieter Wyffels

Don't pay 10 EUR to visit it during the day, but spend 30 EUR to see an opera at night! More value for money

Alessia Camera

If you're here for the festival lirico and you bought your ticket online, print the ticket before (even if ticketless). Or just go to the main ticket shop before the show

Anderson Adams

Just be aware that it's used contemporarily as a concert venue , so there's not much ancient feel to it. But it was impressive from outside, and traveling the inner tunnels was fun.

Lisa Starbucks

It‘s older than the colosseum in Rome but not as impressive. It’s still a must see when you are in Verona.

Most of it is under construction . The entrance was 10 euros for single entry so I just stayed out and checked the exterior. It looks very beautiful.

Rubén S

Entry is overpriced if you're not coming for a performance . At €10, it's much more than most palazzi. Better to take in a performance in the cheap seats

Franz

A good idea to bring a pillow (waterproof is good) if you're seated in an unreserved section, and a raincoat and umbrella - no matter where you're seated - if rain is a possibility.

Peter Kimmel

Although opera , ballet and symphonies take place year-round in Verona, in the summer, operas move to the city 's most atmospheric venue: the ancient Roman arena .

Giana Zulkafli

Make sure you are in the line for tickets , 15 mins before ! What an amazing experience , opera out in the open. Don't forget to bring a jacket and be comfortably formal .

Wafaa A

Great historic area discover and to walk around, close to anything you might need.

Joel Majlergaard

REMEMBER:Something to hand on and plenty of fluids, it's just varmt.???? and the sun has warmed up the stone you pages.You can buy sundries. Liquids but they are a little expensive .

Emre Aktuna

You should visit at least once in your life, got a great view especially at the festivals going on

If you visit in the summer, you must go to the opera .

The view from the top is astonishing but take care as the steps are a bit worn in places.

Kate Kulikova

Must visit. Take a picture of Verona from the top.

Alessio Guarnieri

Two thousand years the Arena is here... And still working as an immense open-air theater .. what else Can I say?

The show is really awesome, but keep in mind that one opera can last over 4 hours ;-)

Much less than in Rome, but such beautiful views on streets and houses!

Gorgeous historical venue with outstanding accoustics

Vasek S.

Really amazing place for concert

André Proost

Brilliant place to enjoy a opera , history all around

Ondřej Holzman

Beautiful small "Colosseum " in the heart of Verona .

Elliot Chance

It's definitely worth paying a bit extra for allocated seating near the front.

Iryna Iovenko

Ticket to Arena costs 6 euro. You may enjoy the view of Piazza Bra from Arena ????

Mehmet Arikan

There is nothing to see inside. It is better to throw your money to trash. Inside is converted into concert place with iron construction and plastic seats. There is nothing historical inside.

Georgia Psofaki

The atmosphere is amazing

Holly W.

Very cool, but smaller than Colosseum . I would see Colosseum instead if only time for one.

Tarık Ölmez

This is the 1st roman arena . Must see in verona.
