Verona Attraction Tickets, Hours and Passes
Most of Verona’s paid attractions run on different calendars, so the order you visit them in matters more than the route. This page starts with the passes and the opening-day pattern, then goes through each attraction in turn.
Opening days at a glance
| Attraction | Closed | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Arena (daytime visit) | Mondays | Tue to Sun 09:00 to 19:00, last entry 18:30 |

| Giardino Giusti | 25 Dec only | 09:00 to 19:00 in summer, 10:00 to 18:00 in winter |
A Monday is therefore a day for the tower, the garden and the churches. Save the Arena, Castelvecchio and the Roman Theatre for the rest of the week.
Passes and booking
The VeronaCard is sold at 33 EUR for 24 hours and 38 EUR for 48 hours, and the clock starts at first use. It covers free or discounted entry to civic museums, monuments and the Chiese Vive churches, plus the city buses. Every site can be entered once. The Aerobus from the airport is not part of it. Prices of 27 and 32 EUR still turn up on older pages but have been replaced. The full list of what it covers sits in the webapp at veronacard.comune.verona.it .
Two sites need a slot even with the card. Juliet’s House takes online bookings only, through verona.coopculture.it. At the Torre dei Lamberti the card makes the stairs free and the lift 1 EUR, and booking is recommended.
Museo di Castelvecchio
The fortress at Corso Castelvecchio 2 was built for Cangrande II between 1354 and 1356. Carlo Scarpa reworked the interior from 1958 to 1975, which is why old stone and modern display fittings sit side by side. Look for paintings by Pisanello, Bellini and Mantegna and the statue of Cangrande I. A centenary exhibition, La Venere di Tiziano e il Rinascimento musicale, brings Titian’s Venus from the Prado to the museum from 31 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. Ticket rates change from 31 October 2026, so there is no fixed price to quote. Buy through verona.coopculture.it and check the museum site .
The four Chiese Vive churches
A single pass of about 8 EUR, or about 7 reduced, opens four churches for 90 days, and the VeronaCard covers them too.
- San Zeno: Mantegna’s altarpiece and the rose window by Brioloto.
- The Duomo: Titian’s Assumption.
- Sant’Anastasia: Pisanello’s fresco of St George.
- San Fermo: a two-level church with a ceiling shaped like a ship’s keel.
These are active places of worship, so keep voices low and expect some areas to close for services.
Giardino Giusti
Agostino Giusti laid out this Renaissance garden at Via Giardino Giusti 2 in the 1500s. Cypress terraces climb the slope behind a boxwood labyrinth, and a belvedere with a grotesque mask looks over the roofs. The adult ticket has been quoted at about 12 EUR in recent sources, so check the price at giardinogiusti.com before you go. Restoration work is under way and may close some corners. The VeronaCard gives a discount here, not free entry.
Teatro Romano and its museum
The Roman theatre at Regaste Redentore 2 faces the old town across the Adige, and the archaeological museum occupies a former convent higher on the slope. From 31 March each year the summer stage set-up changes the visitor route. The theatre hosts the Estate Teatrale Veronese, which includes the Shakespeare Festival. Check the entry price on VisitVerona .
Torre dei Lamberti and the Arena
The tower is 84 m high and has a transparent lift. Entry is 6 EUR, or 4.50 EUR for ages 8 to 14, over 60 and students aged 14 to 30. The Arena costs about 12 EUR by day, or about 9 reduced. On performance days it closes early.
