Full description

Pre-book your entry ticket to the Ancient Theater of Taormina and enjoy the added perk of skip-the-line entry privileges. Take a stirring journey through the archaeological ruins and enjoy the freedom to explore at your own pace.

After the one of Syracusa, the Ancient Theater of Taormina is the largest building for shows in the Italian Peninsula. The archaeological site offers the opportunity to step back into the past as well as enjoy the views of the surrounding landscapes.

The Greek building, built in a dominant position, dates back, by layout, to the III-II century B.C., but the monument you can admire today appears in the forms acquired in the roman imperial age under the emperor Trajan or Hadrian.

It becomes an amphitheater under the emperor Caracalla and, in the same period, the orchestra was converted into an arena to host gladiator fights. After centuries of neglect, in 1465, part of the monument was used as a palace of residence of the Zumbo family.

Absolutely worth it! We were able to skip a very long line in the heat, and hop ahead to the front of the line where I was able to show my voucher for a ticket and go right into the Ancient Greek Theater which was magnificent! A must-see in Taormina!

We had limited time in Taormina and really wanted to see the ancient theatre. The fast track ticket was ideal for us as there was already a queue. It was very straight forward and easy to get the correct line and entry was quick. It was also very hot on the day so less queuing was perfect

Tickets to get into the theatre are cheaper at the door, there was no line to be skipped we walked right up to the counter at around 9.30am. If we were to do this again I’d recommend getting an audio tour or a guided tour. Overall it was good to see and recommend getting over there while you’re in Sicily.
