Description

Step inside Nimes Arena and follow in the footsteps of ancient gladiators. Explore the heart of Nimes with an audio tour of its charming old town and Roman monuments. Uncover one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world, built shortly after the Colosseum. Look down from the spectator seats and see the arena where chariots raced and gladiators clashed with wild animals. Today, Nimes Arena is used for concerts of world-class musicians, such as Dua Lipa and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. The famous bullfighting festivities, the Feria de Nîmes, also take place here.

Great venue

The Arènes at Nîmes is spectacular. The Viator app does not give scannable ticket so they had to look it up and we almost did not get in.

Disappointed

We chose an offer for the tour of the Nîmes Arena, as well as the old town. However, the service did not correspond to the offer. Only the audio guide for the tour of the arena was included. Oh wait, no audio guide to visit the old town.

Mediocre audio guide

The arena is a must-see.... .... but there is no point in getting the pack with the audio guide. A synthetic voice rambles on about a few historical facts. #mediocre #AI

Amazing experience to walk amongst history. Walking up and down the arena you can easily imagine the crowds and battles

Take the audio tour it’s worth it to learn of the storied history of this magnificent place Be prepared to walk up and down many steps It’s a great workout to go along with immersing yourself in the stories
