The Arena is Verona’s most recognisable landmark, but a visit is even better as part of a walk through Piazza Bra, the historic squares and one or two cultural stops. Choose what to see according to your time rather than packing too much into one day.
Piazza Bra and the Arena
Begin in Piazza Bra and look at the amphitheatre, the Liston promenade and the buildings around the square. If you want to go inside or attend a performance, check the official calendar, entrance rules and conditions for your date.
What to see nearby
Continue along Via Mazzini to Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori and the Scaliger Tombs. For another archaeological site, cross the Adige to the Roman Theatre; for art and local history, consider Castelvecchio and its bridge.
A half-day or a full day
In half a day, you can see Piazza Bra, the Arena and central squares, with time for a break and a riverside walk. A full day allows for a museum or another historic area. Art lovers can choose one indoor visit rather than rushing through several.
Tickets and planning
Buy tickets through the official channel for each attraction. Compare the VeronaCard with individual admission if you plan to visit several museums. Opening times and access can change for performances, restoration work and special events.
