What is the Verona Card?

The Verona Card is the all-inclusive tourist card issued by the Comune di Verona. With one ticket you get free entry to more than 15 top attractions in the historical centre, discounted access to several others, and unlimited free rides on all ATV city buses for 24 or 48 hours from first use.

The card is available in two versions and is best used for a focused city visit — one or two days packed with Roman monuments, medieval churches and Shakespeare's Verona.

Is the Verona Card worth it?

For most visitors: yes, easily. A typical two-day itinerary — Arena, Castelvecchio, Torre dei Lamberti, Juliet's House, Duomo — already costs around €53 at the door. With the 48-hour card from €35 you save roughly €18, and every extra museum or bus ride adds to that.

Prices are approximate door prices for adult tickets. Actual savings depend on your itinerary — the more sites you visit, the more you save.

24 hours or 48 hours — which is right for you?

The 24-hour card is best if you have one focused day in Verona. The 48-hour card pays off from the third or fourth attraction — most travellers spending two nights or more go for it.

24h

Pick the 24-hour card if…

  • You have one full day in Verona (arriving morning, leaving evening).
  • Your must-see list is short: Arena, Juliet's House, Torre dei Lamberti.
  • You want to move quickly and rely on ATV buses to cover the ground.
48h

Pick the 48-hour card if…

  • You're staying two nights or more and want a relaxed pace.
  • You also want to see Castelvecchio, San Zeno, the Duomo and the Roman Theatre museum.
  • You're travelling with anyone who tires quickly and needs breaks.

Rule of thumb: if you're planning more than three paid attractions, the €5 upgrade to 48 hours pays for itself before dinner.

One perfect day with the Verona Card

A tested itinerary that uses the card efficiently and keeps walking distances short. Works both directions if you're staying north or south of the Adige.

  1. 9:00

    Arena di Verona

    Start at the Roman amphitheatre before the queues form. Priority entry with your card at Gate 5.

  2. 10:30

    Piazza Bra & Piazza delle Erbe

    Coffee in Piazza Bra, then a five-minute walk through Via Mazzini to the market square.

  3. 11:30

    Torre dei Lamberti

    Climb (or take the lift — €1 extra) 84 metres up for the postcard view over the terracotta rooftops.

  4. 12:30

    Casa di Giulietta

    Book your free time slot in advance on museiverona.com (option "VR Card"). Skip if the queue looks unreal.

  5. 13:30

    Lunch near Ponte Pietra

    Cross the river for lunch with a view. Osterie in Vicolo Sottoriva are close to everything.

  6. 15:00

    Duomo & Roman Theatre Museum

    The cathedral complex, then walk five minutes to the Archaeological Museum with its terrace over the Adige.

  7. 17:30

    Castelvecchio

    The Scaliger fortress and its museum. Walk out onto the Ponte Scaligero for photos at golden hour.

  8. 19:00

    Sunset at Castel San Pietro

    Take an ATV city bus up (free with the card) or climb the steps from Ponte Pietra. The best view of Verona is from here.

For a 48-hour card, split day two between Basilica di San Zeno, GAM Achille Forti and Giardino Giusti — with room for a long lunch.

When to visit Verona

The best window is April to June or September to October — mild weather, long daylight, no summer crowds. July and August are hot (35 °C+) and busy, but they overlap with the Arena Opera Festival (mid-June to early September), which is why many people come. Winter is quiet and atmospheric, and on the first Sunday of every month from November to March the civic museums cost just €1 — which can be a better deal than the card if you're only staying one day.

Quick tip: Most civic museums close on Mondays. If your only day in Verona is a Monday, the card loses a chunk of its value — the Arena, Casa di Giulietta, Torre dei Lamberti and the churches stay open, but Castelvecchio, GAM and several others don't.

Where to buy the Verona Card online

All three platforms are authorised by the city and sell the identical official card — they differ in what they add on top: a bundled audio guide, a booking fee, and therefore the final price. You can also buy the card at the box offices of most attractions and at the IAT Tourist Office (Via Leoncino 61).

Best value

GetYourGuide — best value, incl. audio guide

Adds about €3 over the counter price — and for that you get the digital audio guide app bundled in. Headout's €2.50 booking fee buys you nothing extra, so for roughly 50 cents more GetYourGuide is the better deal for most visitors. Both durations, the strongest date availability of the three, free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Book on GetYourGuide

Headout — without audio guide, plus booking fee

Sells the plain card without an audio guide, but adds a €2.50 booking fee on top of the counter price. Usually only one of the two durations is on sale at a time, availability is limited to certain dates, and the ticket is non-refundable. The price check above shows what is bookable for your date.

Book on Headout

Tiqets — with audio guide, highest price

Also bundles the digital audio guide for the city centre and Lake Garda, but usually adds the biggest markup of the three platforms. In return: free cancellation until the day before your visit and a booking flow where you pick your variant and date upfront.

Frequently asked questions

When does the 24 or 48-hour countdown start?
The card is activated when you use it for the first time — either at a museum ticket office or on an ATV bus. From that moment the 24 or 48 hours run consecutively, so you can plan a full one- or two-day sightseeing block.
Do I still need to book Juliet's House?
Yes. Even with the Verona Card, entry to Casa di Giulietta requires a free time-slot reservation on museiverona.com — select the "VR Card" option. All other attractions can simply be visited during opening hours.
Is the Arena open every day?
The Arena is open daily but Monday mornings are shorter, and opening hours are reduced or shifted around Opera Festival performances (mid-June to early September) and public holidays. Always check the current schedule before your visit — especially if the Arena is your top priority.
Which sites are closed on Mondays?
Most civic museums close on Monday, including Castelvecchio, the Modern Art Gallery, the Natural History Museum, the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theatre, and the Frescoes Museum at Juliet's Tomb. The Arena, Torre dei Lamberti and Casa di Giulietta usually stay open — but with reduced hours. Churches remain open.
Are children under 18 covered?
Children usually don't need a Verona Card at all: entry to the civic museums is free for anyone under 18 (under 8 at Torre dei Lamberti). For families, we recommend cards for the adults and free single tickets for the kids on site.
Can I use the card for the airport bus?
No. The Verona Card is only valid on ATV city buses. The Aerobus airport shuttle to Verona Villafranca Airport, intercity buses and the Castel San Pietro funicular are not included.
Can I get a refund if attractions are closed?
The Verona Card itself is not refundable in case of strikes, holidays, closed attractions or reduced opening hours. Whether you can cancel your booking depends on the platform: GetYourGuide refunds in full up to 24 hours before, Tiqets until the day before the collection date, and Headout tickets are non-refundable.
Why do GetYourGuide, Tiqets and Headout charge different prices?
It is the same official card everywhere — the difference is what each platform adds on top of the city's counter price. Headout sells the plain card without an audio guide but charges a €2.50 booking fee. GetYourGuide adds about €3 and bundles a digital audio guide app in — for roughly 50 cents more than Headout you actually get something for the surcharge, which makes it the best value for most visitors. Tiqets also includes the audio guide but is usually the most expensive of the three. The price check at the top shows the live price of all three for your visit date.
