Audio Guide of Roman Theatre of Verona

The Roman Theatre is open Tuesday to Sunday: from March to October, 9:00 am to 7:30 pm, and from November to February, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (closed on Mondays). It is easily reached from the city center by crossing Pietra Bridge; check the official website for any changes: Verona Civic Museums.

Admission costs €4.50 (€3 reduced for young people and seniors), and is free for children under 14 and Verona Card holders. You can buy tickets at the ticket office or online on the official website: Verona Civic Museums.

A typical visit lasts about 45–60 minutes, enough time to explore the seating, the stage, and the views over the Adige River. If you combine it with the adjacent museum, allow about 1.5 hours for a full experience.

Built in the 1st century BC, it is one of the oldest Roman theatres in northern Italy and could hold up to 2,000 spectators for plays and performances. Today it is a key testament to Roman Verona, with well-preserved remains: more info at Visit Verona.

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are ideal thanks to mild weather and fewer tourists; go in the morning to avoid the summer heat and enjoy better photos in natural light.

Access is partially accessible: there is a paved path to the entrance, but the seating and lower areas have stairs. Contact the museum for wheelchairs or assistance: tel. +39 045 800 0360 or the official website.

Just a short walk away you will find the National Archaeological Museum at Castel San Pietro (go up by funicular), Piazza Bra with the Verona Arena, and Pietra Bridge with views of the Adige River. They are perfect for a full day in the city’s Roman district.

Wear comfortable shoes for the uneven ground, use the Verona Card for savings and quicker entry, and consider an audio guide for more historical detail. Avoid midday in summer and combine your visit with sunset from Castel San Pietro above.
