Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was an underated church/Basilica visit, It is very large and in great condition. The bronze gates/doors are amazing, this is somewhere that is worth a visit and not on the main tourist run, so quiet.

Lovely church in Verona that’s got amazing architectural design to it, love the yellow colour to church.
Although not a big church the interior does also blend in really well with the local feel of the community, making it a nice church to walk around and explore.

Amazing interior, don’t miss the crypt where the remains of St Zeno himself are interred. We visited all the 4 large churches of Verona and felt San Zeno was the most spectacular, even better than the Duomo itself. The quiet cloisters area is very pretty too as are the many frescoes inside the basilica.

By uncovering some of the ancient ruins under the current Basilca we were able to experience the true majesty of the building and it's surroundings

On the outside it looks spectacular and very good. Architecture is also amazing. However it is not free of charge. You must pay 4 Euros to get of which I did not do.

This Basilica is a masterpiece. I remember visiting it as a child, and coming back after 20 years made me rediscover a true architectural jewel.
The church is an environment that is transformative in its simplicity and in its sophistication.
We walked here from the Castle, which was a short stroll, we then took a bus that took us near the cathedral, which was a good m love on a rainy day. The church is quite far from the other landmarks, so better to plan to reach it or come back by public transport.

This is a beautiful church, yet one of the most unusual ones we’ve visited so far. There are 3 levels to this church all visible to the visitor right when one enters. There is the altar, the crypt, and the nave. The cloisters are also very different from most cloisters we’ve seen. The doors are adorned with embossed copper. This is a bit of a walk from old town, but it is definitely worth a visit. One can buy the combo ticket to visit all 4 major churches in Verona for €8.00 per person. All 4 churches are beautiful in their own way with some of the most unusual architecture yet. If you happen to visit this one first, ask for the combo ticket as you will want to see the others.

This was probably the best church in the city for me. Many interesting features and multiple levels. Make sure you have a close look at the bronze doors. Two recommendations, first take a copy of the interior guide when offered at the ticket desk and 2 pay for a 4 churches pass or the Verona card. I would recommend the latter as it covers all major attractions in the city.

Beautiful basilica a bit at the outskirt of the old town, but a nice walk on the wall at the river bank.

Is admission free? If not do you recommend getting tickets in advance to avoid lines during peak season?

It is free entry with the Verona card
Chiedo perche pagare nata e residente per 45 anni a S. Zeno , ora in Germania. Parlo correttamente Veronese e sanzenato. Una vergogna !!! Non sono le 2.50 ma il principio di buon senso. Allora pretento chi mi fa pagare sia veronese residente . Buona giornata .

How long is the audio tour? Where do we pick it up? Where do we buy the ticket that covers all 4 churches? Thanks!

Hi, you can find the ticket at the entrance and this include other churches too. The audio is inside the church, but you will find someone there very helpful. The tour is less than 1 hour but it worth. Enjoy it :)

Si parla di una basilica con parecchie dietrologie, simbologie intrinseche, qualcuno sa o ha i vari significati?

At the entrance of the 4 historical churches of Verona there is a basket where you will find some kimono that you can put over naked shoulders or wear if you are dressed with pants or skirt too short. This is a free service.
