Experience the Roman age in the most spectacular of the buildings raised in those days, the amphitheatre. Explore it with someone who really knows it. Because what stands nowadays is not exactly what was build 2000 years ago. You will then enter the amphitheatre and walk along its corridors and archways to explore the ingenious structure capable of connecting the external gates with the internal "vomitoria". You will discover the places frequented by gladiators and those used to house fairs. Will you perhaps forget to enter the "arena" as a gladiator would have done? And take a seat on the stonesteps as the spectators still do? After listening to the countless anecdotes related to the world of gladiator games, you will end our tour in the most hidden and evocative part of the whole amphitheater. And there, your free time will begin, so that you can stay in this extraordinary place for as long as you wish.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Arena di Verona

      The Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheater located in the historic center of Verona, an icon of the Venetian city together with the figures of Romeo and Juliet. It is one of the large buildings that have characterized Roman architecture and one of the ancient amphitheaters that has come to us with the best degree of conservation, thanks to the systematic restorations carried out since the 16th century; precisely for this reason, despite the numerous transformations it has undergone, it allows the visitor to easily understand the structure of this kind of buildings, rigorously subject to the function for which they were intended but still endowed with an essential beauty

    Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.

    How much does Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Verona is not rushed.

    Is Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Verona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Verona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Verona?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Verona?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Verona?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Tour to the Arena di Verona at the Gladiator's Time?

    +

    Included: Official Tourist Guide licensed in Verona. Not included: Ticket for Arena: you should buy them online; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
