Verona · City passes
VeronaCard
One card for the Arena, Juliet's balcony and the bus back to the station.
The Verona Card, or VeronaCard, is the city of Verona's own pass. For 24 or 48 hours from the moment you activate it, it gets you once into the Arena, Juliet's House, Castelvecchio, the Lamberti Tower, the Roman Theatre and the other civic museums, and into four of the main churches, with the city buses included. The version we sell adds a digital audio guide to Verona and Lake Garda.
Juliet's House, Castelvecchio and the Lamberti Tower already come to more than the 24-hour card, before you count the Arena or a single bus ride.
VeronaCard prices: 24 or 48 hours, with the city buses
The VeronaCard costs €39 for 24 hours and €44 for 48, with Verona’s city buses included the whole time, and you can cancel the one we sell free of charge until the date you picked.
There’s one price for every age, with no child or reduced card, and each card is in one person’s name and gives one entry per site, though a family can keep several cards on the same account and show them one by one.
How the VeronaCard works
- 1Activate the card in the app on the morning you start, not the day you buy it: the 24 or 48 hours run in a row from that moment.
- 2At each site, show the card's QR code. Museums and monuments also accept a photo or a screenshot of it.
- 3For Juliet's House, book a time on verona.coopculture.it with the free VeronaCard ticket, and show the booking with the card.
- 4On the buses, the card has to be activated, with the live QR code on your phone; a screenshot isn't accepted.

Is the VeronaCard worth it? The sums for one day and for two
The card pays for itself once the places on your list add up to more than its price, and with Juliet’s House on the list, three are enough. Our ticket for the house costs €24.50; add Castelvecchio, €12 until 31 January 2027 while its exhibition on Titian, the great painter of Renaissance Venice, is on, and the Lamberti Tower at €6, and you’re past the €39 of the 24-hour card. The Arena and the buses then come with the card at no extra cost.
Without Juliet’s House it takes a fuller day. Castelvecchio, the Roman Theatre at €9, the tower, Juliet’s Tomb at €6 and two of the churches at €4 each come to €41, past the card, before you count the Arena.
Over two days the 48-hour card costs only a few euros more than the 24-hour one, and that’s where it pays best. Juliet’s House, Castelvecchio, the Roman Theatre, the tower, Juliet’s Tomb and the Maffeiano come to well over €44, and the Arena, the churches and two days of buses come with it.
The sums change with age. Under-18s go into the Arena and the civic museums free, and under-11s into the churches, so in a family the cards are for the adults, though children still pay at Juliet’s House from the age of 5 and at the tower from 8. Over-65s pay €9 at Castelvecchio and €6 at the Roman Theatre, so they need one more museum in the day before the card pays, and for EU citizens aged 18 to 25, who pay €2 to €4 in the civic museums, it’s hard to make it pay at all.
Days to plan the card around
- Mondays
- The Arena and the civic museums are closed all day; Juliet's House opens at 14:00, and the Lamberti Tower and the churches stay open. On Monday 7 December 2026 the Arena and the civic museums open as normal
- First Sunday of the month, November to March
- The civic museums charge €1, or €4 at Castelvecchio until 31 January, so the card won't pay; the next are 6 December, 3 January, 7 February and 7 March
- Sunday mornings
- The four churches open to visitors only in the afternoon
- Opera days at the Arena, April to October
- The daytime visit can end earlier, and the times aren't published
VeronaCard rules site by site
Juliet’s House is the one place where the card still needs a booking, made on verona.coopculture.it for a time inside the card’s hours. You go in through the Teatro Nuovo on piazzetta Navona and show the booking with the card, and there’s no ticket office at the house, for tickets or for the card.
At the Lamberti Tower the card covers the climb by the stairs, and the lift costs card holders €1. The four churches, San Zeno, the Duomo, Sant’Anastasia and San Fermo, take the card with no booking.
At the Arena there’s nothing to book either, though from April to October the opera stage fills part of it. At Castelvecchio the city doesn’t say whether the card also opens the Titian exhibition that the museum ticket includes until 31 January 2027. The Scaliger Tombs are shut until the summer of 2027, and when they reopen, any civic museum ticket used that day gets you in as well.
Out of town, the card includes four museums: the MART for modern art and the Casa d’Arte Futurista Depero, the museum of the Futurist artist Fortunato Depero, in Rovereto, and the MUSE science museum and the Castello del Buonconsiglio in Trento. In Verona it brings Palazzo Maffei, the house museum on Piazza delle Erbe, down from €15 to €9, and it takes something off at the Biblioteca Capitolare, the cathedral’s old library, the Museo Nicolis of vintage cars and the Arena’s summer opera festival, though those discounts aren’t published.
The VeronaCard on Verona’s buses, from the station and the airport
The city buses are included for the card’s whole 24 or 48 hours, as long as it’s activated and you show the live QR code on your phone. Porta Nuova, the main station, is about a kilometre and a half from Piazza Bra and the Arena, so you can walk in or take one of the ATV city buses.
Verona's bus fares without the card
- City bus ticket
- €1.50, valid 90 minutes with changes; €2 bought on board, for a single ride
- Day ticket
- €5, for one adult and one child under 14 together
- Airlink to the airport, line 199
- €7, about 15 minutes from Porta Nuova, every 20 minutes; valid 75 minutes on the city buses too
The Airlink is the ride the card is known to leave out. It leaves from bay E-1 in front of Porta Nuova, and you can pay on board by tapping a contactless bank card.
Tours to add to the VeronaCard: a guide, the hop-on bus and Lake Garda
The card gets you in, and the audio guide talks you round, but if you’d rather have someone who knows the city, there’s our two-hour guided walk, at €40; it doesn’t include the entry fees along the route. The hop-on hop-off bus, from €25, runs two sightseeing routes for 24 or 48 hours, with an audio guide on board in eight languages.
Lake Garda makes a day out from Verona, and the card’s audio guide covers it too. Our shorter trip, at €88, takes five hours, with a private boat round the Sirmione peninsula and a spritz tasting. The full day, at €129, takes about seven and a half hours, with a guided walk in Sirmione, a boat transfer and free time in Lazise; neither includes the Grotte di Catullo, the Roman ruins at Sirmione.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Verona Card include?
For 24 or 48 hours, one entry at each of these: the Arena, Juliet's House with a booked time, Castelvecchio, the Lamberti Tower by the stairs, the Roman Theatre and its museum, the fresco museum at Juliet's Tomb, the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano, the Natural History Museum, the GAM modern art gallery, the Scaliger Tombs when they're open, and the churches of San Zeno, Sant'Anastasia, San Fermo and the Duomo. It also covers Verona's city buses and gives discounts at other museums and on the Arena's summer opera festival.
Where can I buy the Verona Card?
Online, on this page: the VeronaCard we sell, from €39, comes on your phone with a digital audio guide to Verona and Lake Garda, and you can cancel it free of charge until the date you picked. Juliet's House has no ticket office at all, for tickets or for the card, so buy it before you go.
Is the Verona Card worth it?
Yes, once the places on your list add up to more than it costs. With Juliet's House, three are enough: our ticket for the house at €24.50, Castelvecchio at €12 and the Lamberti Tower at €6 come to more than the 24-hour card's €39, and the Arena and the buses come with it. Don't use it on a Monday, when the Arena and the civic museums are shut, or on the first Sunday of the month from November to March, when the civic museums charge €1, or €4 at Castelvecchio until 31 January.
When do the 24 hours of the Verona Card start?
When you activate the card in the app, not when you buy it. From then it runs for 24 or 48 hours in a row, and it has to be activated before you can ride the buses on it.
Does the Verona Card include the bus from the airport?
No. It covers Verona's city buses, but not the Airlink, line 199, between the airport and Porta Nuova station, which costs €7 and takes about 15 minutes.
Do children need a Verona Card?
Not for the Arena and the civic museums, which are free for under-18s, or the churches, free for under-11s, and there's no child card. Juliet's House charges from the age of 5 and the Lamberti Tower from 8, so for those two children need a ticket of their own.
