Must see in the city
It is a must see if you are in the city. Impressive, solid construction, very well preserved (it still offers the conditions for organising events - there is a stage on the ground), offers you an interesting view about the ancient times. We enjoyed a lot being on the ground, in the middle of arena, imagining that a lion or other enemy will come. You need 1 - 2 hours to visit every spot, especially if you buy audio guide. There are photo opportunities, renting a roman warrior costume, but seems to be a little expensive for one shot. Anyway, it was a very good experience, I recommend for anyone.

Not to be Missed
The Arena is a beautifully restored window into history that is not to be missed. We visited during the day and used the audio tour. We also went to the Galiator Show in the evening. During the day the Arena was popular but not too busy. The tour was informative and gave lots of extra details that you would miss just walking around. It was a fascinating insight into the history and the stories behind this incredible structure. The entry fee is good value and we spent several hours wondering around. The Gladiators Show in the evening was great. The atmosphere inside the Arena was completely different in the evening light with the sunset beautifully framed between the pillars. The show was a great mix of humour and history with the expected blood thirsty battles between the Gladiators. Lots of audience participation meant that there was never a dull moment and the time just flew by.
