Audio Guide of Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium

Access to the outdoor square to admire the architecture is free at any time. The inside of the auditorium usually opens only during scheduled events, concerts, or temporary exhibitions, so we recommend checking the Ravello Festival program before you go.

Admiring the striking exterior design and the views from its terrace is completely free. However, to enter the interior and enjoy concerts or performances, you will need to buy a ticket, and prices vary depending on the event.

If you only want to appreciate Niemeyer’s architecture and the panoramic views, 20 to 30 minutes will be enough. If you are attending a concert or cultural event, allow at least two hours for the full experience.

It is a masterpiece by the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, creating a fascinating contrast between modernity and the medieval surroundings. Its white, curving design is famous for its perfect acoustics and for the way it frames the Amalfi Coast landscape.

The summer season is ideal for enjoying the cultural program and lively atmosphere. If you want the best photo, go at sunset; the light on the white building with the sea in the background is spectacular.

Yes, as a modern building inaugurated in 2011, it has ramps and adapted access for people with reduced mobility. It is much more accessible than other historic villas in Ravello that are full of stairs.

You are just a short walk from the historic center, where you should not miss the famous Villa Rufolo and its gardens. You can also visit Ravello Cathedral in Piazza Vescovado to complete your tour.

Even if there is no concert, head to the terrace; it is an exceptional viewpoint and is usually less crowded than other spots in Ravello. Check the official website or the local tourist office to see whether there are free art exhibitions in the lobby during your stay.
