1. Overview
Discover the enchanting city of Verona, known for its rich history and cultural attractions. This guide provides insights into the Verona Card, which allows visitors to explore key sites conveniently and affordably.
2. Where to Buy the Verona Card
The Verona Card is available for purchase at the ticket offices of most popular attractions throughout the city. However, the Lamberti Tower ticket office does not sell this pass. Additionally, some hotels and tobacco shops offer Verona Cards, so it’s advantageous to inquire with your hotel concierge. The cost is €20 for a 24-hour pass and €25 for a 48-hour pass, providing great value for your visit.
3. How to Use the Verona Card
After purchasing the Verona Card, you don’t have to start using it immediately. Its validity begins with your first admission, marking a 24 or 48-hour period following that. Since the 48-hour version costs only €5 more than the 24-hour option, it is often considered a wise investment if you plan to see multiple attractions.
Once you hold the card, you will not need to purchase individual tickets, significantly reducing wait times. Just present your card at each site for admission. This allows for one visit per attraction, and bus travel within the city is also included. Children under 8 years enjoy free admission, while those under 12 can enter churches without charge.
4. Best Times to Visit Attractions
Generally, most museums and sites open at 8:30 a.m. and close by 7:30 p.m. They may be closed on Monday mornings, with hours varying by season and attraction. Churches typically have limited hours and are not open during Sunday services.
