Opening hours for the Arena of Nîmes

The Maison Carrée is open every day in 2018 except June 26 (closed for maintenance).
The Magne Tower is open every day.

The Nîmes arenas are open every day except during festivals and shows: the arenas have an uninterrupted tradition of hosting shows, which has enabled the monument to be preserved to this day. These shows require technical installations that may cause some noise or visual inconvenience for visitors, including the installation of a tarred floor on the track to preserve the sand in the arena. This coating is removed at the end of the summer. The city of Nîmes thanks the visitors for their understanding.

The visit to the Arena will be closed:

• From April 27th to 30th: Spectacle les "Grands Jeux Romains" (closed; no visits possible)
• May 1st: half-marathon of Nîmes (no visits possible in the morning)
