Arena of Nîmes Tickets + Audio Guide
The Arena of Nîmes, France's Little Colosseum
The Ancient Transalpine Gaul, later known as the Gallia Narbonensis, left numerous Roman remains in south-eastern France. These include several amphitheatres where, as in the Colosseum in Rome, gladiator fights and other public spectacles were held.
With your ticket to the Arena of Nîmes, you can explore the best-preserved Roman amphitheatre in southern France at your leisure. It's undoubtedly a jewel of the imperial era, reflecting the splendour that this area, located some 60 km (37 mi) from the Mare Nostrum, the present-day Mediterranean Sea, once enjoyed.
The ticket to access this ancient amphitheatre includes an audio guide in English that will allow you to learn about the history of the Arena and the shows that took place there. Fights between men and animals, gladiator battles, wild animal hunts where only the man or the animal could survive... You'll discover which ones were the most popular!
Today, the Arena of Nîmes is one of the main bullrings in France. In addition to bullfights, concerts are also held in this venue. Artists such as Dua Lipa and David Gilmour, a member of the band Pink Floyd, have performed here.

The Arena de Nîmes is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
