Arles Amphitheatre

This is in the heart of Arles and it is 100% worth a stop because it is simply so stunning and absolutely huge inside. Whilst we were visiting there was a performance with gladiators and that was entertaining. The views at the top are stunning and so pretty as you can see across the town. It was a very clear day so we got plenty of photos!

Beautiful, beautiful history. The architectural details are absolutely stunning—I can’t believe this has stood for so many years! It truly takes your breath away. It looks just like the Colosseum in Rome. Timeless, majestic, and unforgettable.

We were in Arles for a photography festival. The festival was pretty diverse in themes, thus might interest a large number of people. The added bonus is that we were able to see spots as festival locations we would miss if we were to stick to main tourist attractions. Arles is a very old Roman city worth visiting.

Incredible to think this structure has stood for over 2,000 years definitely worth seeing from the outside. Going inside, however, is a bit underwhelming. There isn’t much to look at, and the lack of information or context means your visit will likely be very quick!

Beautiful artifact that is in use to this day. The history is better digested with a tour guide who can explain the construction and how the building is used today. Metal scaffolding supports additional seating for their larger events. Very mystical and stirring as you imagined the events that had taken place here.

An opportunity to enter and freely explore a Roman amphitheater! I visited on a walking tour of Arles, but left the tour to explore as much of the amphitheater as possible, from the top of the watchtower to the edge of the combat arena. I encourage everyone to do the same.

This place really wowed me. Far better than the Colosseum in Rome. There's a Pass Advantage that gets you into 6 ancient sites and four museums. Well worth the €19.

Spectacularly intact Roman arena. Well worth visiting and the combination ticket to visit some of the other historical sites was a good value option. Not much in the way of interpretation panels, just a few on the way in, then enjoy the arena
