Verona Card 2026: Price, What It Includes and Whether It Pays Off
The Verona Card costs 33 EUR for 24 hours and 38 EUR for 48 hours from 1 September 2026, and both versions include ATV city buses (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a). It gives one free entry to each of 14 sights in the city, among them the Arena, Juliet's House, Castelvecchio, the Lamberti Tower and the Roman Theatre, plus four museums in Trento and Rovereto. Buy it at the tourist office in Via Leoncino 61 next to the Arena, in the official app or on the official web app.
Whether it pays off depends on how many paid sights you fit into the 24 or 48 hours. Juliet's House alone costs 12 EUR for the house and courtyard (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026b), so a 24-hour card saves money only when the other sights you enter that day cost more than 21 EUR together. This page lists what is included, the rules that catch visitors out (bookings, one entry per site, buses), where to buy the card, and when single tickets work out cheaper.
How much is the Verona Card in 2026?
From 1 September 2026 the Verona Card is sold in one form, Verona Card plus ATV urban transport, at 33 EUR for 24 hours and 38 EUR for 48 hours. The physical card is activated by its first use, at a museum entrance or on a bus. The digital card has to be activated by hand in your digital wallet at the moment of first use (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
Older prices are still in circulation. The tourist office's own summary page, The Combined Ticket for Great Savings in Verona, still quotes 25 EUR for 24 hours and 32 EUR for 48 hours (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026c), and resellers repeat them. The Verona Card page itself, which dates its prices from 1 September 2026, gives 33 and 38 EUR, and that is the figure to plan with.
The card is non-refundable if a partner site changes its hours, closes, or is affected by a strike or holiday, and the operators note that the prices of the included sites may change (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a). Free entry and reductions for children and young people exist at all the sites, so a family should price children's entries separately before buying cards for everyone.
What the Verona Card includes
In the city, the card gives free entry to the Arena, the Arche Scaligere (open only in some periods), the churches of Sant'Anastasia, San Zeno and San Fermo, the Cathedral, Juliet's House, the GAM Achille Forti modern art gallery, the Archaeological Museum at the Roman Theatre, Castelvecchio, the Natural History Museum, the Maffeiano Lapidary Museum, Juliet's Tomb and the Frescoes Museum, and the Lamberti Tower. Outside Verona it covers the Mart and Casa Depero in Rovereto, and the Buonconsiglio Castle and the MUSE science museum in Trento (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
It gives a reduction at the Miniscalchi Erizzo museum, the African Museum, the Biblioteca Capitolare, Palazzo Maffei, the National Archaeological Museum and Giardino Giusti. Further discounts include 5 EUR off the City Sightseeing bus day ticket, the tourist train at 4 EUR, 10 per cent off hourly rates at the Saba Arena car park, a reduced price at the Arena di Verona Opera Festival where one applies, and, outside the city, the Nicolis Museum at 12 EUR and Parco Giardino Sigurta at 15 EUR for adults, except on Easter Monday, 25 April and 1 May (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
The 24 or 48 hours also cover every ATV urban bus in Verona.
The rules that catch visitors out
Each museum or monument can be entered once with the card. Juliet's House always needs a timed booking on verona.coopculture.it, made by choosing the free Verona Card option, and you can book it before you have collected a physical card. The Arena is the only site with priority access, through gate 5; at every other site you queue with everyone else. Booking ahead is recommended for the Lamberti Tower, by email to [email protected] or on +39 045 9273027 (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
The card does not cover the lift at the Lamberti Tower, which costs 1 EUR on site, or the funicular. It is not valid on the Aerobus airport shuttle or on extra-urban buses, so it will not take you to the airport or to Lake Garda. On ATV buses the card must be validated on the reader at every boarding, and a photo or screenshot of a digital card's QR code is accepted at museums but not on buses (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
The hours of the Arena change on event days from April to October, and churches can close for services, so check the opening times of the sites you plan before the clock starts. Monday is a closing day at the Arena and Castelvecchio (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026d, 2026e), which makes a card started on a Monday poor value.
Where to buy the Verona Card
The card is sold directly in the official Verona Card app, at the tourist information office (IAT) in Via Leoncino 61 on Piazza Bra beside the Arena, and on the official web app at veronacard.comune.verona.it, where purchased cards appear in your wallet ready to use (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
It is also sold through GetYourGuide, Headout, Tiqets and Tickets&Tours. Vouchers from those four networks must be exchanged for a physical card at the tourist office before first use; the office is open every day except 25 December and 1 January. Only cards bought on the official web app skip the exchange (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a). If you arrive late in the day or on a holiday, buy the digital card on the official web app so that you are not tied to the office's hours.
The tourist office answers on +39 045 8068680 and at [email protected], and the FAQ on the official site covers online purchases (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
Is the Verona Card worth it?
Count the ticketed sights you will actually enter within the 24 or 48 hours and compare their single prices with 33 or 38 EUR. The one single price in the card's core that the Comune publishes on the tourist office's site is Juliet's House: 12 EUR for the Teatro Nuovo, courtyard and house, or 5 EUR for the courtyard alone (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026b). Ask for the current single prices of the Arena and Castelvecchio at their ticket offices or on verona.coopculture.it, the civic museums' official online box office (Comune di Verona, 2026).
The arithmetic is simple: with Juliet's House at 12 EUR, the 24-hour card at 33 EUR saves money only if the other sights you enter that day cost more than 21 EUR together, and the 48-hour card at 38 EUR only if they cost more than 26 EUR over two days. The bus element is worth less than it looks if you stay in the centre, where the sights are within walking distance, and it does not cover the airport bus (7 EUR) or the buses to Lake Garda (ATV, 2026).
It does not pay off on the first Sunday of the month from November to March, when the civic museums and monuments charge 1 EUR (Juliet's House excluded), or if you only want two sights (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a). Details for each sight are on our pages for the Arena, Juliet's House and Castelvecchio.
Frequently asked questions
5 questionsHow much is the Verona Card?
From 1 September 2026 the Verona Card costs 33 EUR for 24 hours and 38 EUR for 48 hours, both including ATV urban buses. Some pages and resellers still show the older 25 and 32 EUR prices; the official Verona Card page dates the new prices from 1 September 2026 (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a, 2026c).
Does the Verona Card include Juliet's House?
Yes, entry is free with the card, but a timed booking on verona.coopculture.it is mandatory, choosing the free Verona Card option. You can book before you exchange a reseller voucher for the physical card. Without the card, the house and courtyard cost 12 EUR (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a, 2026b).
Does the Verona Card include the bus from the airport?
No. The card covers ATV urban buses in Verona but not the airport shuttle (Aerobus, line 199) and not extra-urban buses such as those to Lake Garda. The airport bus ticket costs 7 EUR and is valid for 75 minutes, including onward urban buses (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a; ATV, 2026).
Does the Verona Card let you skip the line?
Only at the Arena, where card holders have priority access through gate 5. At every other included site there is no priority entry, and at Juliet's House you must book a time slot. Booking is also recommended for the Lamberti Tower (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
When does the 24-hour Verona Card start?
A physical card starts at its first use, either at a museum entrance or on a bus. A digital card must be activated manually in your digital wallet at the moment you first use it. Each site can be entered only once during the card's validity (Destination Verona & Garda Foundation, 2026a).
