Really cool. They could definitely charge less for the experience as the 10 Euro seems a bit high for this self guided tour of the place. The arena is fully intact and the original seating is still there from ages ago. Many of the internal areas are blocked off . But your still free to walk and use practically all entrances to the arena inside. The view from the top is beautiful and a great photo opportunity. If your in Verona definitely pay this place a visit .
Mixed feelings and a tad of disappointment washed over me when I saw that certain parts of the indoor arena was under some renovation/upkeep/built ins. Interesting fact: Operatic performances, its elliptical shape enhances the acoustic quality of the performances. However the place looks marvellous, majestic and mysterious in the evening. 10Euro ticket per single entry and if you have the Verona Card, you could swoosh through, yes you have priority, it is free and avoid the anaconda like queue.
Very impressed with the size and completeness of this arena, which is a little older than the Colosseum in Rome. The space inside is big, and with the missing outer wall it would have held 30000 people! The view from the top, looking out over Verona is wonderful. Well worth a visit!

Favorite place minus the castle lookout that I went to in Verona. right now they are setting up for something or doing construction. From the top you have a great view and are able to walk around the perimeter. I bought the Verona card for 20eurps and this entrance was included. The information center to get the pass is right next to the arena.
I was very surprised and impressed with this Arena and enjoyed the experience more than the Colosseum in Rome. It’s older than the Rome Colosseum, cheaper to get into and you can wander as long as you’d like inside to enjoy the remains of this almost 2000 year old site. Well worth the admission price. The ticket line was long but it’s worth the wait.
I would love to come back and see a concert or show inside someday.
